Video Clips:
XBMC “cinema” is a discontinued video player written in XBMC.org using Python (PyXBMC). Cinema, originally a fork of XBMC/Kodi was re-implemented as a GTK-based application using Thunar and many modifications to the XBMC code-base. Cinema’s architecture is the same as most XBMC replacements: the media library is written as a GStreamer pipeline, the whole thing’s written in Python, and the video player (the player part of the application) is written in GTK+ and is triggered by events coming from the media library.
For a high level
