I can't live without xine, it's my primary video player, there's a
project still going on at mercurial but no release has happened for
years. It's also the only gui that emulates a dvd player properly for
preview in DVDStyler. MPlayer is for mswindows it never worked for me.
If there's a problem with xine ui or libs I'll have a look.
