[edit] Xine → xine

• The name is misspelled, it should be all lowercase. DonDiego 14:49, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Is this a troll? Xine and xine are the same articles. How do you create an article entitled xine? -- ALoan (Talk) 15:01, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • It's a known limitation of Wikimedia software. See, for example, iMac. older≠wiser 15:21, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
      • Just add {{wrongtitle|title=xine}} to such pages. Angela. 03:14, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)
        • Added to Wikipedia:List of pages whose correct title is not allowed by MediaWiki. anthony 警告 01:00, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

How is it pronounced--"zine" or "x-ine"? Massysett 21:38, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

It is pronounced "kseen". DonDiego 17:28, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nice feature

Xine is my favourite video player by far, and I've used it for over a year. But I still have a complaint about it's Wikipedia page.

"A nice feature of xine during playback of videos is the ability to manually correct the synchronization of audio and video if video is ahead of audio or vice versa." While I agree with that being a nice feature, isn't that a weasel word? Wikipedia articles aren't supposed to carry an opinin, and in this case, the opinion is that the feature is nice. Am I just being anal here or am I onto something? (And feel free to suggest a replacement for it if you agree with me).

Yes, that should be removed, specially seeing as many other players support it too, it seems completely out of place. For example, in MPC and mplayer, you can use the + and -. I don't know about VLC, but I assume this is a standard feature.
