Description Norman Jonas 2008-07-06 03:23:04 UTC

Reasons to reenable the xine use flag for totem. :

1. Freedom of choice
2. gstreamer backend crashes easily ( play an mpeg2 video and scroll back and forth fast )
3. gstreamer backend still does not support accelerated playback xvmc ( play an mpeg2 video and compare cpu consumption to an xine based player - in my case instead of idling gstreamer playback makes my cpu go to full frequency wasting money )
4. As far as I know by reading on the web gstreamer backend still does not deinterlace e.g. mpeg2 videos - I cant check it because totem with gstreamer backend crashes before I can skip to a position in a video where I can check it.

This patch (re-)adds the xine use flag to totem and works fine for me - please comment if I missed something.

Reproducible: Always
