[edit] Nice feature
Xine is my favourite video player by far, and I've used it for over a year. But I still have a complaint about it's Wikipedia page.
"A nice feature of xine during playback of videos is the ability to manually correct the synchronization of audio and video if video is ahead of audio or vice versa." While I agree with that being a nice feature, isn't that a weasel word? Wikipedia articles aren't supposed to carry an opinin, and in this case, the opinion is that the feature is nice. Am I just being anal here or am I onto something? (And feel free to suggest a replacement for it if you agree with me).

Yes, that should be removed, specially seeing as many other players support it too, it seems completely out of place. For example, in MPC and mplayer, you can use the + and -. I don't know about VLC, but I assume this is a standard feature.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Xine logo.jpg
Image:Xine logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Sources
Marked a couple spots where sourcing is needed. Otherwise, a pretty good article. --Lendorien (talk) 16:32, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Platform
The 'InfoBox' says it was "OS: Cross-Platform" while text says Unix-like. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.231.163.121 (talk) 10:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
