xawtv-remote, v4lctl -- control video4linux devices

       Gerd Knorr <kraxel@bytesex.org>

       Both  tools  basically  use  the  same  set  of  commands.  Some of them are useful for xawtv-remote only
       (fullscreen for example).

       setstation[<name>|<nr>|next|prev|back]
              Set the TV station.  This selects on of the TV stations which are configured in the .xawtv  config
              file.   The  argument can be the station name or a number (the first one listed in the config file
              is 0, ...).  next/prev jumps to the next/previous station in the  list,  back  to  the  previously
              selected one.

       setchannel[<name>|next|prev]
              Tune in some channel.

       setfreqtab<table>
              Set the frequency table.  See the menu in xawtv for a list of valid choices.

       setnorm<norm>
              Set the TV norm (NTSC/PAL/SECAM).

       setinput[<input>|next]
              Set the video input (Television/Composite1/...)

       capture[on|off|overlay|grabdisplay]
              Set capture mode.

       volumemuteon|off
              mute / unmute audio.

       volume<arg>color<arg>hue<arg>bright<arg>contrast<arg>
              Set  the  parameter  to  the  specified value.  <arg> can be one of the following: A percent value
              ("70%" for example).  Some absolute  value  ("32768"),  the  valid  range  is  hardware  specific.
              Relative  values  can  be specified too by prefixing with "+=" or "-=" ("+=10%" or "-=2000").  The
              keywords "inc" and "dec" are accepted to and will increase and decrease the given value  in  small
              steps.

       setattr<name><value>
              Set set the value of some attribute (color, contrast, ... can be set this way too).

       show[<name>]
              Show the value current of some attribute.

       list   List all available attributes with all properties (default value, range, ...)

       snap[jpeg|ppm][full|win|widthxheight]<filename>
              Capture one image.

       webcam<filename>
              Capture  one  image.  Does basically the same as "snap jpeg win <filename>".  Works also while avi
              recording is active.  It writes to a temporary file and renames it when done, so there is never  a
              invalid file.

       moviedriver[files|raw|avi|qt]movievideo[ppm|pgm|jpeg|rgb|gray|422|422p|rgb15|rgb24|mjpeg|jpeg|raw|mjpa|png]moviefps<framespersecond>movieaudio[mono8|mono16|stereo]movierate<samplerate>moviefvideo<filename>moviefaudio<filename>moviestartmoviestop
              control xawtv's movie recorder.

       fullscreen
              Toggle fullscreen mode.

       showtime
              Display time (same what the 'D' key does in xawtv).

       msgtext
              Display text on the on-screen display (window title / upper left corner in fullscreen mode).

       vtxline1line2[...]
              Display  subtitles.   It pops up a small window at the bottom of the screen.  It is intended to be
              used as an interface for displaying subtitles (often on videotext page 150 in Europe,  that's  why
              the name) by external programs.
              Every command line argument is one line, zero lines removes the window.  You can colorize the text
              with  the  control  sequence "ESC foreground background".  foreground/background has the range 0-7
              (ansi term colors).  Example: "\03347 hello world " is blue on  white.   "\033"  must  be  a  real
              escape  character,  the  string  doesn't work.  With the bash you'll get it with ^V ESC.  vtx does
              also understand the ANSI tty escape sequences for color.

       quit   quit xawtv

       keypadn
              enter digit 'n'.  That's the two-digit channel selection, entering two  digits  within  5  seconds
              switches to the selected station.  Useful for lirc.

       vdrcommand
              send "command" to vdr (via connect on localhost:2001).

xawtv-remote  and  v4lctl  can  be used to control a video4linux driven TV card.  xawtv-remote passes the
       command to a already running xawtv or motv instance using X11 properties.   v4lctl  sets  the  parameters
       directly.

       xawtv-remote, v4lctl -- control video4linux devices

xawtv-remote knows the following options:

       -h     print a short help text

       -ddpy Set the X11 display

       -iid  Set the Window ID.

       v4lctl understands these options:

       -h     print a short help text

       -cdevice
              Set video4linux device.

       -Ddriver
              Set video4linux driver.

       -vn   Set debug level to n, where n = [0..2]
