Below are the library and development RPMs for xine-lib version 1.0.1. Be sure to check out the About the Xine RPMs post for more information.

xine-lib — The main xine library
xine-lib-devel — The development xine library (needed if you’re building an interface against xine-lib)

You’ll also need a user interface – as of this release, the most current release of xine-ui is 0.99.3.

(To save disk space, only the current release and two prior releases will be maintained.)

Below is the RPM for xine-ui version 0.99.3. Be sure to check out the About the Xine RPMs post for more information.

(This post is updated regularly, and should contain the most up-to-date information about these RPMs.)

Xine is a full-featured media player for Linux, that can play CDs, DVDs, VCDs, MP3s, Ogg, and more. The main site for xine is http://www.xine-project.org – you can find information, install instructions, and more user interfaces. These RPMs should work on WBEL 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, and CentOS 4. To stay up-to-date on these releases, you can subscribe to the RSS feed for this category.

As with any standard disclaimer, no warranty is expressed or implied – these RPMs are provided as-is, and we assume no responsibility for any ill effects that may come from the downloading and installation of these files. However, feedback is welcome if you encounter problems with these RPMs.

Note: To use xine, you’ll need both the library and the UI. To play commercial DVDs, you’ll need libdvdcss, which is not provided here (but, knowing the name, you should be able to find it).
