The quickest way to play
video is to click one of the following buttons, and then press the Play button (right arrow or Play,
depending on the skin you are using):
VCD (for a video CD)
DVD (for a DVD in /dev/dvd)
CDA (for a music CD in /dev/cdaudio)
Next, you can use the Pause/Resume, Stop, Play, Fast Motion, Slow Motion, and Eject buttons to
work with video. You can also use the Previous and Next buttons to step to different tracks. The
controls are very similar to what you would expect on a physical CD or DVD player.
To select individual files, or to put together your own list of content to play, use the Playlist feature.
Creating Playlists with xine
Click the Playlist button on the left side of the xine control window. A Playlist Editor appears,
showing the files on your current playlist. You can add and delete content and then save the list
to call on later.
xine content is identified as media resource locators (MRLs). Each MRL is identified as a file,
DVD, or VCD. Files are in the regular file path (/path/file) or preceded by file:/, fifo:/, or
stdin:/. DVDs and VCDs are preceded by dvd and vcd, respectively (for example, vcd://01).
Table 20-2 shows what the xine Playlist Editor buttons do.
