OVERVIEW
Pyxine is a Python package which provides Python bindings for
libxine, the backend of the xine media player (see http://xinehq.de/).
Using Pyxine, it is possible to write simple (or complex)
user-interfaces to xine. This makes it much easier for one to
write custom xine UIs.
For the latest news and updates, make sure to check the Pyxine
web page: http://pyxine.sourceforge.net/
REQUIREMENTS
To build and install this package, you'll need:
- Python 2.2 or better
- Modern GNU gcc/g++
- xine-lib-1-beta4 (or better)
If you want to hack the source, you'll also probably need:
- SWIG (I'm using version 1.1)
- GNU make
INSTALLATION
Installation (hopefully) is as simple as:
python setup.py install
See http://www.python.org/doc/current/inst/ for more details.
USAGE
Playing an audio file can be as simple as:
>>> import pyxine
>>> xine = pyxine.Xine()
>>> stream = xine.stream_new()
>>> stream.open("music.mp3")
>>> stream.play()
To play a movie, it will probably take a little more work in order to
properly initialize the video output driver. For now, have a look at
``tkplayer.py`` and ``player.py`` in the ``examples`` subdirectory.
E.g., if you have the Tkinter package installed::
# python tkplayer.py some_movie.avi
might actually play a movie for you. (Hit 'p' to start playback.)
FIXME
ROADMAP
pyxine.libxine
This module is a raw interface to libxine which is more-or-less automatically
generated by SWIG. (See http://www.swig.org/)
You should probably not use this module directly, as the rest of the pyxine
package provides a friendlier object-oriented wrapper over the the functions
in this module.
