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 Steps to Reproduce:
