Installation

Quite straight forward. Make sure that you have installed the latest version of xine-lib. At least beta9 is required. Then download and unpack oxine source tarball, change to the directory created and type.
./configure --prefix=/some/path make make install
If you checked oxine out of CVS make sure that you have recent versions of autoconf and automake installed. (Tested with: automake 1.7.2 and autoconf 2.57.) Then type
./autogen.sh --prefix=/some/path make make install
To set up autoplay functionality make sure of the following things:

cdrom or dvd drive is mountable by the user oxine runs with
cdrom or dvd device and mountpoint are set correctly. Default is device: /dev/dvd mountpoint: /dvd. To change this, run oxine one time and click on shutdown. Oxine will then create its default config file in your home (~/.oxine/config). While oxine is not running, edit this file with an editor.
If you use lirc, make sure that you don't have irxevent daemon running. Otherwise oxine may get all lirc events twice which is really frustrating. There is a default lircrc installed in $PREFIX/share/oxine. You can customize this file in place or - much better - copy it to ~/.oxine where it will not be overwritten if oxine is reinstalled. If you upgrade oxine, read the ChangeLog - the lirc file config options may change from time to time.

Usage

Start oxine with
oxine [options] [mrls...]
options are:

-h print command line help

-v print oxine's version

-f start in fullscreen mode

-V driver let xine use specified video driver e.g.: auto, xv, xshm, dxr3, ...

-A driver let xine use specified audio driver e.g.: auto, oss, alsa, ...

during runtime of oxine following keys and lirc configs were available:

key lirc config action

arrow keys up, down,
left, right move between buttons and so on

return, enter select select a button, item

ESC, q exit immediately

f toggles full screen mode

o menu display a menu while playing a stream

You can also use a mouse to navigate through menus.
There is a mediamarks file installed in share/oxine. You can copy this into ~/.oxine and customize it. It is a simple xml file and should be selfdescriptive.
