Re: xine and TCL

Hi John

I never used TCL, but its UIs look a bit old to me. Anyway, instead of  
scripting the xine-ui, you could also use one of the several xine  
bindings to write a simple app which shows a video in C, C++, Java,  
Python, and Perl if I remember correctly. See the xine download page  
for links to the non-native (aka C language) bindings.

Good luck,
  Matthias
