GXINE(1) General Commands Manual GXINE(1) NAME
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. OPTIONS
-A audio_driver --audio audio_driver Select which libxine audio driver to use. This setting is not permanent, but it does prevent selection of other drivers via the preferences window. -V video_driver --video video_driver Select which libxine video driver to use. This setting is not permanent, but it does prevent selection of other drivers via the preferences window. -S --no-splash Don't show the splash window during startup. -a --add Don't clear the playlist before adding any MRLs; start playing the first new MRL. -e --enqueue Don't clear the playlist before adding any MRLs; don't start playing the first new MRL. -f --full-screen Start in full-screen mode. -c Javascript --command Javascript Javascript command(s) to be executed immediately after starting up. -C KEY=VALUE --configure KEY=VALUE Set configuration item KEY to VALUE, e.g. "-c gui.window_size=100%". -v --verbose Verbose mode: output information about plugins, the video stream, commands executed etc. Repeat for more verbosity. FEATURES
There are a couple of features which aren't immediately obvious: in full-screen mode, you can right-click to get access to the menus, or middle-click to show or hide the player controls. SEE ALSO

AAXINE(1) General Commands Manual AAXINE(1) NAME
aaxine - an ASCII art video player SYNOPSIS
aaxine [aalib-options] [-A<audio-driver>] [-a<audio-channel>] [-R<rec-by>] [MRL...] DESCRIPTION
This manual page explains the aaxine program. Aaxine, is an aalib based frontend for libxine, a versatile video/multimedia player. aaxine is for those who don't have a high end video card, but just want to watch DVDs on their good old vt100 ;-) Like xine, aaxine plays MPEG system (audio and video) streams, mpeg elementary streams (e.g. .mp3 or .mpv files), avi files (using win32 codecs or ffmpeg), (S)VCDs, DVDs and many more. In short, anything that's supported by xine-lib. OPTIONS
The program follows usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options are included below. For a complete description, see README and FAQ in /usr/share/doc/xine-ui or on the xine home page. -h, --help Show summary of options and available output drivers (plugins). A big bunch of these options is provided by aalib. Please refer to your aalib documentation for those! The remaining options, labelled AAXINE options: when listed with "aaxine --help", are explained here. -A, --audio-driver <drv> Use given audio driver. Available drivers can be listed with "aaxine --help" -a, --audio-channel <num> Use given audio channel. Channels are sequentially numbered from 0 for first audio track. -R, --recognize-by [option] Determine the method used to recognize stream type. Possible options are: `default': by content, then by extension, `revert': by extension, then by content, `content': only by content, `extension': only by extension. If -R is given without an additional option, `revert' is selected. MRLs MRLs are similar to URLs in your web browser. They describe the media to read from. valid MRLs may be plain file names or one of the fol- lowing: file:<path> fifo:<path> stdin:/ dvd:/<title>.<part> vcd:/<tracknumber> tcp://<host>:<port> rtp://<host>:<port> udp://<host>:<port> mms://<host>... http://<host>... cdda://<tracknumber> Several MRLs may be specified in order to play a number of consecutive streams. Additional input plugins will provide additional MRL types. The ones listed above are available with stock libxine... After a delimiting # you can add several stream parameters: novideo video will be ignored noaudio audio will be ignored nospu subpictures will be ignored demux:<demux name> specify the demux plugin to use volume:<level> set audio volume compression:<level> set audio dynamic range compression <config entry>:<config value> assign a new value to any config entry CONTROL KEYS
Many features can be controlled by pressing control keys. The Key bindings are: <RETURN> / R Play <SPACE> / P Pause 0 Jump to start of current stream 1 .. 9 Jump to 10%..90% of current stream <PgUp> Jump to previous stream in playlist <PgDown> Jump to next stream in playlist + Select next audio channel (may take up to a few seconds to take effect) - Select prev audio channel Q Exit. BUGS
none, of course ;-) Well, there are surely a few of those. You can probably best ask for support (and report bugs) on our mailing list at <xine-user@lists.sf.net>. SEE ALSO
