What is xine?
xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet. It interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available – and some of the most uncommon formats, too.

#xine-vdpau -
#xine-vdpau (freenode) is no more. Use #xine (alternatively, on OFTC) instead.
It has been determined that, while it was the more active channel, a lot of its content was general xine-related chat, which is more on-topic in #xine, so we've decided that VDPAU no longer needs a separate channel. If you have a problem with this, send your comments to /dev/null ☺.

Release
xine-ui 0.99.6 -
Well, this one's long overdue.
This release contains many fixes and tweaks, many of which you've probably already benefitted from anyway since we'd previously been advising anybody who had problems to use the development version (if they weren't already).
Yes, there may still be problems; any help which anybody can offer in fixing these would be good. We like patches. Patches are good.
Anyway, download, build and enjoy…

Release
xine-lib 1.1.18 -
A new version of xine-lib is available. This release adds support for WMA Pro and basic support for Quicktime media links (much better support is present in the 1.2 branch) and has various fixes for 24-bit FLAC and LPCM, TTA, and AAC in Flash video; there's also one important fix for DXR3 users, allowing xine-lib to work with recent versions of the em8300 driver. It also has enhanced support for metadata (currently Ogg-only).
Building with internal ffmpeg works again. This is a deprecated option; we strongly recommend against using this for reasons of codec and security support. Don't use it; use external ffmpeg libraries instead.
