Codeine For Linux

Codeine project is a very simple xine-based media player.

Here are some key features of "Codeine":

· Plays DVDs, VCDs, all video formats * · Bundled with a simple web-page KPart () Starts very quickly · Simple, uncluttered interface · "Session based" · Intelligent behaviour · You can record http streams with the hidden record action · You can use drag and drop to play files. Try dragging shoutcast stream playlists, they will play too.

Requirements:

· xine-lib 1.0.0 · KDElibs 3.3 · X11R6, a computer, some video files to play.

I use scons + bksys as the build system. But you can still do the following:

% ./configure && make && su -c "make install"

Or if you have scons installed, simply:

% scons && su -c "scons install"

Note that scons is a little silly and this kind of thing doesn't work:

% ./configure --prefix=/foo/bar --debug=full

Instead do:

% ./configure prefix=/foo/bar debug=full

The following features will probably be added before 1.0.0:

· Playback speed control · Frame capture (screenshots of the video) · Stream recording · A KPart, strictly for embedding in KHTML, possibly in Konqueror also

The main reason I am adding these features is I think they are useful and it would also be a shame to not take advantage of the facilities xine offers.

If you don't think Codeine needs any of these features then please write to me and say so! I am making Codeine for you, the users, so if you don't like it I have failed.

What's New in This Release:

· Mute button for KPart · Play DVD entry for KDE 3.5 + media:/ when DVD inserted · DVD-Menu-Toggle is no longer a KToggleAction because I can't detect when DVD menus change, but it still acts as a toggle button · Made record work for systems other than mine! (hard-coded path) · Made record shortcut CTRL-R so it doesn't conflict with the DVD-Root-Menu toggle · videoWindow doesn't judder when toolbar appears in fullscreen anymore · dvd-toolbar is gone, instead root menu button appears when dvd is playing · toolbar in fullscreen mode shows on mouse move · toolbar in fullscreen mode respects user-positioning · media kioslave support · double-clicking the video toggles fullscreen · don't show part in K-Menu · a volume toolbar button, - available from the configure-toolbar dialog, it's not very good yet
