the xine project is looking for sponsors!
individual users
You are a big fan of xine, and want to sponsor us? Very nice
idea! Although you can't sponsor the xine project as a whole (xine isn't a company,
there is no real boss so there's no one to decide whom to give the things or
the money you donate), you can sponsor individual developers. Below you find
a list of wishes from xine developers, for details on how to get things delivered
to them please contact them via email. Your donation will be appreciated and
you'll be listed on this page in reward.
companies
You are a company and want to develop a product (e.g. a set-top
box, a multimedia PDA, a POS terminal, a digital video recorder, ...) based on xine? You
are a GNU/Linux distributor and your customers love xine so you want to help
this project or share some of the money you made by including xine in your distribution?
If so, you have two possibilites: sponsor some xine developers, or hire them:
If you want to sponsor xine developers (with money, with hardware...)
please contact them using their email addresses below. Your company will then
be listed on this page, possibly including a small banner ad and link to your
website, depending on what you would like to see and how much you want to give.
If you need certain features for your product, or want to
have xine customized for your needs or for your platform, you can hire one or
more developers of the xine team. Please post on the xine-devel mailing list
a short description of your project and the tasks you want to have done by a
xine developer. Developers who are interested in working for you will then contact
you directly.

donations so far:
- Jacob Young sent me an Akira - special edition DVD!

- Ewald Kicker on behalf of the Online Literature Library
donated me $30. Thank you!
- Jan Balsle donated $250. I don't want to be the only one receiving donations here, so I used a non-scientific and non-determinist algorithm to pick the last 5 developers on that made "big" commits to xine's cvs to forward them $50 each. The happy winners are Hans-Dieter Kosch, Darren Salt, Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò, Frantisek Dvorak and Claudio Ciccani. Thank you all!

Rich
Wareham
subtitles, dvd navigation |
wishlist:
- A selection of DVDs from the major DVD makers, Warner Bros, Fox,
BBC, etc. Precise choice up to benefactor but a mixture of old + new
would be good. Note, I don't necessarily want DVDs that I'd enjoy
since I'd spend more time watching them than coding!
donations so far:
- David Pye has very kindly donated me a Dxr3-based card - thanks
a lot!

James
Courtier-Dutton
DVD support (Menus etc. libdvdnav), audio output, subtitles |
wishlist:
- I need a copy of "The Deer Hunter" Region 1 (USA version) in order
to fix a dvdnav issue. (The Deer Hunter totally fails to play in xine.)
Also, a copy of "Moulin Rouge" also produces the same problems.
- A sound card which can record SPDIF without modifying it. So I
can record AC3 and DTS SPDIF inputs.
- External SPDIF decoder which can handle DTS.
- Also, any DVDs which users are currently having problems playing
on xine.
donations so far:
- Two people have donated DXR3 cards: Matthew Wilson from USA. Torgeir
Veimo from Germany.
- Scott Bigham has kindly donated a "Akira - The Special Edition"
DVD.
- Reinout van Schouwen donated a "Bjork - Hidden Place" DVD.
- Marek Kassur (Poland) has sent me the "The Terminator" DVD.
- I received 2 DVDs from Paul Eggleton, New Zealand: "Terminator
2 - - Judgement Day" and "The Abyss - Special Edition". Thank you
very much for this kind gift. :-)
- Rett D. Walters from Topeka, Kansas (USA) has kindly donated a WinTV-PVR-250 card.
- Kenneth Tindle <ktindle@uky.edu> from Lexington, KY, (USA)
has kindly donated the DVD "Minority Report" (Region 1) so that I can
hopefully fix a long standing problem with playing certain DVDs.
- Mark Cooke donated a DVD with a sector read error.
I will now be able to start work on getting libdvdnav and xine playing DVDs that have sector read errors.
If libdvdnav finds a sector read error on the DVD, it should just skip a small section of the DVD and
continue playing, but currently, it just stops playing entirely.

Matthias Hopf
IRIX port, TV output |
wishlist:
- Anime DVDs (japanese audio + english subtitles appreciated)
donations so far:
- Raphael Hürzeler has very kindly donated me two Anime DVDs, Ghost
in the Shell, and Buttobi CPU. Thanks a lot! Ghost in the Shell will
be of major concern due to its audio lag.
(Update: The audio lag has been confirmed to be a mastering error.
- Matt Jarvis at Rolec Music from the UK has sent me a Penta DVB-S card
and a cool Epia M1000. This is great stuff, thank you very much!
