NOTE: ALL OF THIS IS ALPHA SOFTWARE. EVENTUALLY THIS ENTIRE PROJECT WILL DISAPPEAR AND BE MERGED INTO XINE PROPER! xine_vcdnav - VCD, SVCD, extended VCD Navigator plugin for Xine Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a Xine VCD plugin for the Xine media player. Its aim is to add the full compliment of advanced VCD/SVCD features to Xine, subtitles, audio tracks (found only in the SVCD standard), and playback control (PBC) which includes selections, and menus. However currently there is much to be done; the plugin is in alpha phase. Updates to this plugin normally go hand-in-hand with updates to Xine itself so normally one should fetch the latest xine-lib and xine-ui from Xine's CVS. Releases of the plugin follow the same versioning scheme as Xine itself, so if you have version x.y.z of Xine, the x.y.z release of the vcdnav plugin should work with it. This plugin WILL NOT WORK with versions of Xine 0.9.10 and below. Please see KNOWN-BUGS for current issues before posting bug reports to the list. Software Requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * A version of xine-lib and xine-ui which matches the version number of this release. * A version of vcdimager with vcdinfo support Usage ~~~~~ The plugin adds the 'vcdnav://' MRL-type to Xine. To launch Xine from the command line and make it play the VCD in the default selection from the default CD device, simply use $ xine *xine-options* vcdnav:// Alternatively, start Xine GUI, click on the 'XVCD' button and press 'play' or Bring up the MRL browser and click on XVCD for a list. More information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More information on configuration customization, user interface behavior and guts behind the plugin can be found in the doc directory. Acknowledgements ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The plugin would be next to useless without the work of the Xine project (http://xine.sf.net/) and the vcdimager project (http://vcdimager.org) Ideas and code originated from the xine's vcd plugin, the xine dvdnav plugin and libraries were distilled from the vcdimager package.
