Readme for xine-0.0.0.4
About
A Haskell FFI binding to xine-lib, a multimedia playback engine.
Getting
git clone git://github.com/joachifm/hxine.git
Dependencies
Building
Using cabal-install, do
cd hxine
cabal install
Usage
To play an audio file, simply do:
> import qualified Xine
> main = do
> h <- Xine.open
> sid <- Xine.openStream h "track.ogg"
> Xine.play h sid
Note that Xine defaults to auto-detecting audio and video drivers.
To configure xine before using it, for example to play video files (note, this
doesn't work), use openWith
and supply a XineConf
value:
> import qualified Xine
> main = do
> h <- Xine.openWith defaultConf { visualType = X11 }
> sid <- Xine.openStream h "video.ogm"
> Xine.play h sid
See the API documentation (produced by cabal haddock
) for more information.
If you wish to implement your own higher-level interface to xine-lib, you may use the low-level FFI binding by
> import Xine.Foreign

Bugs and deficiencies
- The binding doesn't yet support video playback.
