Is your friend using X-server, or does he run xine without X (and gtk)?

I tried to compile xine-plugin, but compiling the xine-lib failed in the end
of the compiling-process (I'll post an link to the output when I'll back
home)

What goes to the unichrome-drivers, I'm not sure if I managed to get those
drivers to load (where can that be checked?).. Somehow it seems to me that
my setup fails to use the onboard mpeg2 decoder.. :(
