GQoob is a dead project. The API for the xine library changed after xine-libs 0.9.13, I was going to update to the new API but it never happened and have since lost interest in maintaining GQoob. (The features listed below are all implemented and work in GQoob 0.3.0, the few video related bugs in the release are mostly due to bugs present in xine-libs at the time).

GQoob: A slightly configurable media player. GQoob uses the XINE libraries to support a variety of media formats.

GQoob is heavily based on GQmpeg. In fact most of it is the same, except for changes needed to work with GTK 2 and the addition of video support through the XINE library. The video overlay with XINE is possible thanks to the gtk xine interface borrowed from the Totem media player.

GTK+ 2.0
XINE libraries 0.9.13
