gxine − a GTK/GNOME frontend to the xine video player
gxine [options] [files or MRLs]
gxine plays MPEG system (audio and video) streams, MPEG elementary streams (e.g. .mp3, .mpa or .mpv files), MPEG transport streams, AVI files, ASF files, Quicktime files, (S)VCDs and DVDs - anything which xine-lib can handle.
Typical usage looks like
gxine some.mpg
gxine −f dvd://
gxine dvd://home/user/dvd/my.iso
Some directories and file names are not treated as ordinary files. They are:
DVD |
A directory containing a DVD filesystem structure; or a UDF filesystem image, identified by file name (“*.iso”). |
||
VCD |
A cue file, identified by file name. |
You can override this by using file://full/path/to/file.

Verbose mode: output information about plugins, the video stream, commands executed etc. Repeat for more verbosity.
There are a couple of features which aren’t immediately obvious: in full-screen mode, you can right-click to get access to the menus, or middle-click to show or hide the player controls.
