Installed Xine and I can't find it.

I had installed xine only to check the sound and video menu and I find that it is not there. Where is it?

Is xine not a media player but just something a frontend uses?

xine IS a media player
try :
find -iname *xine* /

I tryed it but the terminal paused and came back with the same prompt as before.
I typed "find -iname *xine*/"

Did you install xine-lib and xine-ui together. xine-lib is a set of libraries for xine that can be used by multimedia apps that use xine as a backend e.g. kaffeine and xineui itself. If you want to use xine-lib and xine-ui, install them together. To find what xine packages are installed, do

Code:

#find / -name 'xine*'

or

Code:

#find / -name '*xine*'

How did you install xine? RPM? By source? Yum/package manager?
Did you install xine-lib and a xine-frontend?

If you used a different frontend, like Kaffeine or Totem those will use the xine system.

If there is a path problem, log out and log back in.

I had installed xine-lib-1-rc8, so I need something else like xine-ui?

Yeah, you need either, xine(ui), kaffeine or totem. The version of xine-lib you installed is old, install the 1.0 version.
