This manual page explains the xine-checker
program.
xine-check
is a program, which tests the xine video player
installation for common problems.
If you experience any problem with or while running xine, running
xine-check might provide useful hints for problem tracking.
xine-check tests the operating system settings, installation of plugins,
CD/DVD drive settings and video support parameters.
If run as
xine-bugreport,
it will produce a terse system description and guide you through the process
of reporting a bug. This is the preferred way to report xine bugs, as it's
easier for you and provides the developers with a more complete bugreport.
OPTIONS
The program follows usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-').
A summary of options are included below.
For a complete description, see README and FAQ in /usr/share/doc/xine-ui
or on the xine home page.
-h, --help
Show summary of options and version number.
The remaining options, labelled
XINE-CHECK options:
when listed with "xine-check --help", are explained here.
-q, --quiet
Only give a single one-line messages, even if problems are found.
Normally xine-check provides hints for every problem found to help
solve the problem.
-v, --verbose
Enable extended output describing each check in detail, which produces
a kind of frequently asked questions (FAQ) list.
-B, --batch
Turn off pause after long messages. Normally xine-check waits for
confirmation after a problem was found or a long message was printed.
-b, --bug
Produce a bug report. This is the same as calling
xine-bugreport directly.
BUGS
none, of course ;-)
Well, there are surely a few of those. You can probably best ask for support
(and report bugs) on our mailing list at <xine-user@lists.sf.net>.
