XMMS AVI Player is a plug-in enabling XMMS to play Windows AVI, DivX, and ASF files with ease.
I recently tried out the AVI player plug-in for XMMS and was impressed with its ability to play Windows AVI (including DivX ;-)) and ASF files on my Linux or FreeBSD system. One of the features I appreciated was the ease with which I could add movies to my playlist and have the plug-in call aviplay to play the movie files.
The AVI player plug-in also supports many aviplay options, such as fullscreen playback and true hardware acceleration on XFree86 4.x.x. This made for a smooth and enjoyable movie-watching experience.
The latest release includes a stripped version of avifile 0.53.5 that compiles statically into the plugin, ensuring that avi-xmms works regardless of the avifile version installed on the system. Additionally, the release adds wma and wmv support, expanding the variety of files that can be played with the plug-in.
Overall, I recommend the AVI player plug-in for anyone looking for a reliable tool to play Windows AVI and ASF files on their Linux or FreeBSD system. Its simple setup and support for various playback options make it a valuable addition to any multimedia setup.
