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

       -S
       --no-splash
              Don't show the splash window during startup.

       -a
       --add

       -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.

              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.
