Xine

A simple binding to xine-lib.

Example usage:

 import qualified Xine

 main = do

     h <- Xine.open

     sid <- Xine.openStream h "track.mp3"

     Xine.play h sid

defaultConf :: XineConf

Default configuration. Audio only.

Handle

data XineHandle

A xine-lib handle.

open :: IO XineHandle

Open a new Xine handle using defaultConf.

openWith :: XineConf -> IO XineHandle

Open a new Xine handle using the supplied XineConf.

close :: XineHandle -> IO ()

Close Xine handle. The handle is invalid after this.

isClosed :: XineHandle -> IO Bool

Test whether the handle is closed.

Streams

You may open multiple streams for playback. Beware, though, that new streams cannot be added once playback has started, so open your streams before using them.

type MRL = String

Media Resource Locator. Describes the media to read from. Valid MRLs may be plain file names or one of the following:

• Filesystem:

file:<path>

dvd:/DVD_image_file[/title[.part]]

dvd:/DVD_directory[/title[.part]]

vcd://[CD_image_or_device_name][@[letter]number]

vcdo://track_number
