XINE-CHECK(1)

💖 XINE-CHECK(1) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, because we're about to talk about xine-check — the checker for the xine video player, from the General Commands Manual. yes the whole thing. no skimming. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

xine-check — a checker for the xine video player. that's it, that's the name, and honestly? iconic. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xine-check [-q] [-v] [-B] [-b]
xine-bugreport [-q] [-v] [-B]

like, look at her. two whole moods. one checks, one reports bugs. main character energy fr fr. 🦋

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

okay so this manual page explains the xine-checker program. xine-check is a program that tests your xine video player installation for common problems. lowkey a whole vibe check for your system. 🔍

if you're experiencing any problem with xine, or while running xine, running xine-check might provide useful hints for problem tracking. not me being your emotional support diagnostics tool 😭

xine-check tests the operating system settings, installation of plugins, CD/DVD drive settings and video support parameters. yes bestie, it's thorough. it ate. 🍽️

if run as xine-bugreport, it will produce a terse system description and guide you through the process of reporting a bug. and this is literally the preferred way to report xine bugs, because it's easier for you and it provides the developers with a more complete bugreport. so like. use it. periodt. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

the program follows usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options are included below. for a complete description, see README and FAQ in /usr/share/doc/xine-ui or on the xine home page. iykyk. 📚

• -h, --help — show summary of options and version number. the classic "hello, what are you" move. 👋

the remaining options, labelled XINE-CHECK options: when listed with xine-check --help, are explained here. yes, the manpage really says that, i'm not making it up. 🙈

• -q, --quiet — only give a single one-line message, even if problems are found. normally xine-check provides hints for every problem found to help solve the problem. so this is the "just tell me if it's broken, i can't handle details rn" setting. 💀
• -v, --verbose — enable extended output describing each check in detail, which produces a kind of frequently asked questions (FAQ) list. she's giving lecture. she's giving documentation. we love a chatty queen. 🗣️✨
• -B, --batch — turn off pause after long messages. normally xine-check waits for confirmation after a problem was found or a long message was printed. so this one is for when you're like "bestie i don't have time to press enter forty times". 🫶
• -b, --bug — produce a bug report. this is the same as calling xine-bugreport directly. one flag, same energy. 🐛

😭 BUGS 😭

none, of course ;-) well, there are surely a few of those. you can probably best ask for support (and report bugs) on our mailing list at <xine-user@lists.sf.net>. not the manpage being self-aware 😭 honestly? relatable. 🙈
