rootv - display TV using the Xvideo extension

Author

       Gerd Knorr <kraxel@bytesex.org>

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 extension.

       rootv itself provides no way to control video/audio/tuner.  You can use v4lctl to do this.

Name

       rootv - display TV using the Xvideo extension

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).
