[xine-devel] Questions about xine-lib

[Kurre <ku...@cc...>]

Hello list

I have a few questions about xine-lib's functionality. These are not feature 
suggestions/requests but questions for easy solution or hints how to hack 
them in. As I know next to nothing about xine-lib's internals I thought it 
would be best to all if I asked first.

So here we go:

1) Is it possible to have rewind functionality with picture, like in VCR 
systems? I think this doesn't exist yet, but is it difficult to add such 
funtionality when mostly using mpeg streams? I'm thinking of something like 
10X speed.

2) As 1 but fast forward. Xine-lib already has 4X speed, but more is needed.. 
This is probably easy because of the existing speed setting functionality.

3) How to get rid of all xine's output to the video screen? I mean for example 
the "> 00:00:00" text which comes up when starting video playback. The xine 
logo can stay.

4) Does xine have an advanced overlay layer renderer? There's  the osd stuff 
(I don't even know if it suits my needs at any level) but AFAIK it doesn't 
support alpha.

I hope these questions are not too trivial with answers laid right in front of 
me.. :)
