I asked on the LinuxMCE IRC once, and someone told me that i used xine
to play the video... They also pretty much restricted to nvidia cards,
when using the "nice" UI, because of alpha blending.

I must admit, I don't know much about that stuff, but i took a look at
oxine, and was supprised how nice it actualy looked at the screenshots.
Yes, indeed. Let's see how much potential xine has with OSD, so far it
looks good.
