NAME
rootv - display TV using the Xvideo extention
SYNOPSIS
rootv [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
rootv puts a video to some window. By
default it creates its own window, but you can also ask it to use
the root window (thus the name) or any other window. rootv
needs the Xvideo extention. rootv itself provides no way to
control video/audio/tuner. You can use v4lctl to do this.
OPTIONS
rootv knows a number of command line options
to modify the behaviour.
- -help
- Print a short description of all command line options.
- -verbose
- Be verbose. That will dump some debug messages to stderr.
- -root
- Put the video onto the root window instead of creating a new
window.
- -id <win>
- Put the video into the window <win> instead of creating a
new window.
- -station <st>
- Tune station <st>. This just calls v4lctl, which in turn
will look up the station in your ~/.xawtv config file.
- -no-mute
- Don't toggle mute. By default rootv will unmute the TV card
when it starts and mute it on exit. It does this using the XV_MUTE
attribute (if available).
- -port <n>
- Use Xvideo port <n>. Try the -verbose switch if you want
to know which ones are available.
- -bg
- Fork into background.
- -wm
- Print WindowMaker menu (set stations using
v4lctl).
