Xine (http://xinehq.de) is a comprehensive open source multimedia player. With
the appropriate plugins, it supports most common multimedia file formats and
codecs. Xine's functionality is available to other applications via the Xine
library (libxine). The Q-Xine module provides a simplified interface to this
library, thereby offering the necessary operations for playing back multimedia
content in Q programs, including support for Xine's OSD (on-screen display)
and framegrabber functionality. (The latter feature allows you to grab video
frames in a format suitable for further processing with Q's ggi, magick and
audio modules.)

Please refer to the xine.q file for a description of the operations provided
by this module. Some examples can be found in the examples subdirectory.

Enjoy!
