Oh, I didn't know that. So xine is the super dooper player that can
open all these formats without much of a hassle eh? Cool. :) Quite
interesting too, you know. Some 5 years ago when I first got into the
Linux world at college (our labs were all Linux based), xine was the
player we all used back then. When I started using NetBSD now, I thot
xine might have been pushed to the background (I didnt like its
interface much, frankly) and that other players might have taken its
place. But after a few days of use I see that xine still is the
reigning chap. Atleast that's the only player (between xine, vlc, and
totem) that worked well and got me watching a movie. :)
Possibly a dumb question -- but what is the difference between plain
totem and totem-xine? I know vaguely that its something to do with
totem using gstreamer plugins, while totem-xine not using them. So
what does totem-xine use then? Does it invoke xine to do all its work
-- and so totem-xine is just a xine player in the backend with a totem
frontend? Hmm?
