Most players don't only focus on DVD, but also other formats, so it takes up a lot of time for the developers to also support the other things. I use xine only for my home cinema and don't use the UI, but control everything by remote control. This is the reason why I never really cared much about the UI, but more about functionality. On my desktop PC I use kaffeine and xine-ui both and must say that kaffeine suits the desktop better than xine-ui. Regards, Marcel
