gxine: A gtk/gnome frontend to the xine video player

SYNOPSIS

gxine [options] [files or MRLs]

DESCRIPTION

gxine plays MPEG system (audio and video) streams, MPEG elementary streams (e.g. .mp3, .mpa or .mpv files), MPEG transport streams, AVI files, ASF files, Quicktime files, (S)VCDs and DVDs - anything which xine-lib can handle.

Typical usage looks like

gxine some.mpg

gxine -f dvd://

gxine dvd://home/user/dvd/my.iso

Some directories and file names are not treated as ordinary files. They are:

DVD: A directory containing a DVD filesystem structure; or a UDF filesystem image, identified by file name (“*.iso”).
VCD: A cue file, identified by file name.

You can override this by using file://full/path/to/file.
