Install Xine Multimedia Player in Ubuntu
xine is a free (gpl-licensed) high-performance, portable and reusable
multimedia playback engine. xine itself is a shared library with an
easy to use, yet powerful API which is used by many applications for
smooth video playback and video processing purposes.
Xine Features
Xine-engine -The core of xine is responsible for
synchronizing audio, video and overlays. It provides high performance
comunication functionality between modules, logging capability, unified
configuration system, On Screen Display support, fast MMX/MMXEXT/SSE
memory transfers, among other important things.
Input plugins - They provide input data to xine and
may be seen as an abstraction layer for DVDs, files, http, pipes, VCDs
so that the rest of xine does not need to know from where the data is
coming. Several input plugins for xine are already available over the
internet from third party programmers.
Demuxer plugins - These plugins are responsible for
understanding file formats like AVI, MOV, ASF and others. These file
formats don’t define how video and audio are encoded but how the
encoded data is mixed together (multiplexed). An AVI file, for example,
may have DivX4 video and MP3 audio, MPEG2 video and AC3 audio, etc.
