oxine 0.6.5

oxine project is a lightweight gui for the famous xine engine which uses the on screen display functionality of xine to display its user interface elements like buttons, lists sliders and so on.
Due to this, oxine can easily be ported to any video output device the xine library provides (e.g. frame buffer, dxr3,...) and is particularly suitable for appliances like set-top boxes, home entertainment systems or kiosk systems.
Main features:
- x11, dxr3 and framebuffer output
- mouse, keyboard and lirc support
- autoplay dvd, vcd, svcd, cdrom and audio cd
- browse and select from your own mediamarks
- browsing through file system, m3u playlists and audio cd tracks
- goom support
- playlists
- automatic stream title blending
Quite straight forward. Make sure that you have installed the latest version of xine-lib. At least beta9 is required. Then download and unpack oxine source tarball, change to the directory created and type.
./configure --prefix=/some/path
make
make install
If you checked oxine out of CVS make sure that you have recent versions of autoconf and automake installed. (Tested with: automake 1.7.2 and autoconf 2.57.) Then type
./autogen.sh --prefix=/some/path
make
make install
To set up autoplay functionality make sure of the following things:
- cdrom or dvd drive is mountable by the user oxine runs with
- cdrom or dvd device and mountpoint are set correctly. Default is device: /dev/dvd mountpoint: /dvd. To change this, run oxine one time and click on shutdown. Oxine will then create its default config file in your home (~/.oxine/config). While oxine is not running, edit this file with an editor.
If you use lirc, make sure that you dont have irxevent daemon running. Otherwise oxine may get all lirc events twice which is really frustrating. There is a default lircrc installed in $PREFIX/share/oxine. You can customize this file in place or - much better - copy it to ~/.oxine where it will not be overwritten if oxine is reinstalled. If you upgrade oxine, read the ChangeLog - the lirc file config options may change from time to time.
Start oxine with
oxine [options] [mrls...]
options are:
-h print command line help
-v print oxines version
-f start in fullscreen mode
-V driver let xine use specified video driver e.g.: auto, xv, xshm, dxr3, ...
-A driver let xine use specified audio driver e.g.: auto, oss, alsa, ...
Enhancements:
- Added check for version of libjsw to catch JSClose bug.
- Added check for necessary files to detect bad installation.
