Man. "xine" is a name I haven't heard for many years. Wonder how many people are still using it.

As as university student in 2006, fast internet access was a still relatively pricey thing. I already knew how to do basic things in Debian, and would have similar Linux experience at home. Surpsingly, Slackware (3 CDs at that time) provided all the apps (C compiler, LaTeX etc) needed for doing homework. And of course, a multimedia player called "xine" was bundled. Playing all the ripped videos wasn't problem at all.

I assume the development was practically halted years ago and no fork?

Update: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xine/files/

Oh it's still alive :)
