# xine-check(1)

a checker for the xine video player

## NAME

xine-check - a checker for the xine video player

## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page explains the xine-checker program.  **xine-check** is a program, which tests the xine video player installation for common problems.

If you experience any problem with or while running **xine**, running **xine-check** might provide useful hints for problem tracking.

**xine-check** tests the operating system settings, installation of plugins, CD/DVD drive settings and video support parameters.

If run as **xine-bugreport,** it will produce a terse system description and guide you through the process of reporting a bug. This is the preferred way to report xine bugs, as it's easier for you and provides the developers with a more complete bugreport.

## 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.

- \-h, --help

  **Show summary of options and version number.**

The remaining options, labelled **XINE-CHECK options:** when listed with "xine-check --help", are explained here.

- \-q, --quiet

  **Only give a single one-line messages, even if problems are found.** Normally **xine-check** provides hints for every problem found to help solve the problem.

- \-v, --verbose

  **Enable extended output describing each check in detail, which produces** a kind of frequently asked questions (FAQ) list.

- \-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.

- \-b, --bug

  **Produce a bug report. This is the same as calling** **xine-bugreport** directly.

## 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\>.
