gxine (1) Linux Manual Page
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.
