!!NAME xawtv - a X11 program for watching TV !!SYNOPSIS xawtv [[ options ] [[ station name ] !!DESCRIPTION xawtv is a simple program for watching TV with your linux box. It uses the Athena widgets. xawtv supports the bttv driver, [V4L] ([Video4Linux], included in 2.2.x) and the Xvideo extention. xawtv reads the config files /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xawtvrc and $HOME/.xawtv at startup. Settings in the personal config file will overwrite the options from the global config file. These files holds the available TV stations and a few settings like TV norm. You have to create the config file yourself, see below for details. !!OPTIONS ;-h, -help: Print a short desctiption of all command line options. ;-f, -fullscreen: startup in fullscreen mode. ;-n, -noconf: don't read the config file ($HOME/.xawtv). ;-o, -outfile base: set basestring for the snapshot output files. The filename will be "base-timestamp-nr.ext". ;-c, -device device: set video4linux device (default is /dev/video). ;-c, -xvport number: set Xvideo port (defaults to the first usable). ;-v, -debug level: Be verbose, level may be 0 (default), 1 or 2. It exists just for debugging and trouble-shooting. ;-remote: X11 display is remote. This basically disables overlay mode, you might need this if xawtv failes to autodetect a remote X11 display. ;-b, -bpp n: force xawtv into n bpp color depth. Works for switching between 15/16 and 24/32 bpp. This gets just passed throuth to v4l-conf(1). ;-shift n: Shift the video display by n bytes. Try this if your video display is'nt within the xawtv window. This gets passed throuth to v4l-conf(1) too. ;-fb: Use the framebuffer device to determine the video framebuffer address (instead of the DGA extention). Yet another pass through argument. ;-xv/-noxv: enable/disable the usage of the Xvideo extention (for overlay), default is on. ;-scale/-noscale: enable/disable the usage of the Xvideo extention (for hardware scaling in grabdisplay mode), default is on.
