Pyxine provides Python bindings and an OOP wrapper for xine, enabling developers to use Python to control media playback.
In order to use Pyxine's features, you will need to have the following requirements: Python 2.2 or a newer version (although 2.1 might still work), modern GNU gcc/g++, and xine-lib-1-beta4 or a more advanced version. If you intend to work with the source code, SWIG version 1.1 or higher and GNU make tools will also be necessary.
One of the key benefits of using Pyxine is its compatibility with Python. You can develop complex movie players in a language that you're already familiar with, making the process seamless and less time-consuming. Additionally, Pyxine has been updated to include several new features and improvements.
This release of Pyxine includes several bug fixes and updates. For example, the instructions for playing an audio file have been corrected, and notes about example players have been added. Debugging calls to cerr.form() have been removed as this function is a deprecated GNU extension that can cause issues. A typo has also been fixed, namely adding the namespace std::ostringstream, while a spurious 'inline' declaration has been removed.
Overall, Pyxine is a powerful tool that simplifies the creation of movie players using the Python programming language. With its user-friendly interface and updated features, Pyxine is an excellent option for anyone looking to work with xine and Python.
