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.

2012-02-21: Release
gxine 0.5.907

A new version of gxine is available. This release is a maintenance release. It's mostly bug fixes, with a few compilation fixes. (Those nice, helpful people at Mozilla and their work on that nice, stable Javascript library...)

Download it from our download page.

2012-02-04: Release
xine-lib 1.2.1

A new release. Mostly bug fixes; the VDPAU code has been rewritten somewhat, and the alternative VDPAU plugin is buildable (hopefully, most who noticed problems got the missing file from the repository or the packaged version in Debian experimental or unstable).

Please check the release notes for details & known problems.

Download it from our download page.

HG repositories MIA again

Debian have once more been having problems with Alioth. Consequently, our public repositories have been offline for a day or so.

As a result, we now have mirrors on Sourceforge of our primary repositories. While it is expected that these will be maintained, they probably won't always be fully up-to-date.

2012-01-01: Release
xine-lib 1.2.0

A new version of xine-lib is available. Two releases in one day…! This has to be cause for celebration‼ Or something.

Significant features: VDPAU support, VDR support, following the XDG Base Directory Specification, reduced memory usage, and no internal copies of ffmpeg, libcdio or libvcd.

I can't be bothered with waffle, so go and read the release notes or download it and play with it. You'll need to recompile your front end to use this if you've previously been using 1.1 (not 1.1.90).

Please check the release notes for details & known problems.

Download it from our download page.

2012-01-01: Release
