Controlling Xine with Perl script
Hello,

I want to write a Perl script that is able to control the playback of files in xine.
I read about the xine library for perl, Video::xine, but thats not what I want...
I just want a little code that sends , for exemple, a signal to xine to pause playback, continue playback etc.

It would be possible to use little pieces of Shell scripts, but it would be much better if I can make it with Perl...

Thanks in advance Smilie

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.
