SYNOPSIS

use Video::Xine;

# Create and initialize the Xine object
my $xine = Video::Xine->new(
config_file => "$ENV{HOME}/.xine/config",
);

# Load a video driver
my $video_driver = Video::Xine::Driver::Video->new($xine,"auto",1,$x11_visual);

# Create a new stream (put your video driver under $DRIVER)
my $stream = $xine->stream_new(undef,$DRIVER);

# Open a file on the stream
$stream->open(file://my/movie/file.avi)
or die "Couldnt open stream: ", $stream->get_error();

# Get the current position (0 .. 65535), position in time, and length
# of stream in milliseconds
my ($pos, $pos_time, $length_time) = $stream->get_pos_length();

# Start the stream playing
$stream->play()
or die "Couldnt play stream: ", $xine->get_error();

while ( $stream->get_status() == XINE_STATUS_PLAY ) {
sleep(1);

A perl interface to Xine, the Linux movie player. More properly, an interface to libxine, the development library. Requires installation of libxine.

Xine by itself does not provide a user interface, and neither does this interface. Instead, you must set up the window using your own windowing code, and pass the window information to Xine.

Lumiere is a GNOME frontend to libxine from the xine project. It has the looks of XMMS or Winamp and integrates seemlessly with the Gnome Desktop.
Lumiere is a media player, it just plays audio and video files. It is meant to work with Linux and alikes, not Windows.
Lumiere is a GNOME frontend to libxine from the xine project. It has the looks of XMMS or Winamp and integrates seemlessly with the Gnome Desktop. It uses most of the Gnome technologies available (Intercommunication, configuration registry, session management...).
Lumiere features a player with playlist management, visual effects, notification icon, a server mode. It can be used as a Nautilus "Viewer" and registers itself with the right-click menu of nautilus.
Lumiere depends on libxine to play medias, it will play only what is supported by your libxine (a default installation should handle most media types).
Lumiere is not aggressive with your computer, it needs little resources (if you use GNOME) and will not keep a hand on your audia or video hardware when not playing.
Main features:
- Play mp3, ogg, DivX;-), DVDs, Audio CDs...
- Integrate fully with the Gnome desktop (mime-types, dragn drop, notification area...)
- Keep it it memory, it wont keep your audio or XVideo devices busy
- Use it with Mozilla or Galeon, through mozilla-bonobo
- Hey, it follows mostly the "Human Interface Guidelines" from freedesktop.org, this means standard key shortcuts, standard menus, application registry registration, standard secondary windows... It works fine with Gnopernicus screen reader.
- It is time to throw away XMMS...
