	Fortunately, you can make a plaintext playlist, e.g.,
playlist.txt:

/home/foobar/movies/file1.mov
/home/foobar/movies/file2.avi
  ..
  ..

and then get xine to play it with the -P (capital 'P') switch:

  xine -P playlist.txt

You can use the find command to generate playlists. For example, I have a
bunch of Quicktime movie trailers organized in alphabetical directories.
a/, b/, c/, etc. To gather them all up:

  find /home/melanson/media/trailers -name *.mov > trailer.playlist

  xine -P trailer.playlist

	Hope this helps...
