Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-06 04:34:49 UTC
Currently bash completion package provides a bash completion rule for xine 
command (provided by media-video/xine-ui). Unfortunately the use of this rule 
makes it difficult to use xine from command line, as it does not consider 
quite a few cases (such as .divx files, created by divx converter on windows, 
or .flac files). 
 
As xine-ui relies on xine-lib, that in turn has a lot of plugins with a 
guessing code that recognize the type of the file used, it's difficult to list 
what it's supported and what not (as for example someone could teorically 
write a plugin to transform a tar.gz in a movie that shows the content of the 
file... I know it's stupid, but the interface is there), I'd rather see it 
disabled than providing a subset of the usable files to users. 
 
Feel free to forward me if someone bitches about this :) 
 
Thanks, 
Diego
