Yeah this is a shit image, but I'm too lazy to capture my own.

If I make it sticky, then maximize and restore, it becomes un-sticky.

Has issues looping .flv movies. It'll stick at the end and loop a bit of the video but no audio.

Favourite skin: Galaxy

• Access a DVD directly with Xine:
  xine dvd://
  This solves all kinds of stupid issues. Also unmount it and make sure other media players aren't auto-launched and are trying to run the same movie. Ungh!
• How in the heck do I learn what version I'm using?
• Really terribly stupid UI, but I suppose they're trying to be OS-independent. =(

• Broken default, edit ~/.xine/config with:

# deinterlace
gui.deinterlace_by_default:1
# no splash screen
gui.splash:0

You can do fullscreen like this, but I don't know how to exit the config file to make it a default. When doing this, it screws up my aspect ratio..

xine dvd:// -f

Under KDE/Blackbox, if I remove the window borders (control-alt-t), and then I press f twice to fullscreen and un-fullscreen, the window border returns! BUT, if I use b to do that, the borders are permanently gone. Strange.

• Hotkeys like <space> don't work when focused on the control panel thingy.

• Is there no hotkey for taking a snapshot?

  • later: yes there is somewhere.. I keep taking one by mistake every so often.
• Is there no 'about' screen, when help files are not installed?

• There is no rewind?!

  • urr.. yeah there is..
