Introduction

This is a GTK+ user interface for libxine.

Requirements

libxine 0.9.9 (http://xine.sourceforge.net) This is the actual video/audio decoder of the Sinek.
GTK+ 2.0.0 (http://www.gtk.org) Gui toolkit.
libguile (http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) This library is optional. If you have it installed on your system, you can use the scripting facilities.
libtool, automake, autoconf These are only necessary if you are compiling from cvs source.

Compiling & Install:

if you got the source from CVS, you need to create configuration script and makefile templates with

./autogen.sh

Then type

./configure
make

now Sinek is compiled. You can install it with

(become root if necessary)
make install

Usage

You can use mouse wheel on video window for adjusting audio volume. Right click on the video window brings a popup menu with more controls. You can quit the program by closing all the windows or selecting Quit from popup menu.

You can learn the keys from Key Bindings menu of the popup menu.

For divx subtitles, open the subtitle file with Subtitle/Open... menu. Unfortunately you have to be playing some video to see the subtitles or set their position. MicroDVD files (look like {1234}{5678}Subtitle text) needs correct frame rate values. That value is usually 25 or 29.7. If difference between speech and subtitle increases with time, you have an incorrect frame rate selected. If subtitle is lagging behind speech decrease frame rate, otherwise increase it.
