NAME

tvtime−configure − change settings in the tvtime configuration file

SYNOPSIS

tvtime−configure [ OPTION ] ...

DESCRIPTION

tvtime−configure allows a user to set configuration settings for tvtime without starting the application. This is useful for installation programs such as debconf to let them configure tvtime without having to write a parser for the configuration file. The command line options are a subset of those for tvtime itself.

OPTIONS

−a, −−widescreen

This option starts tvtime in 16:9 aspect ratio mode.

−A, −−nowidescreen

This option starts tvtime in 4:3 aspect ratio mode.

−h, −−help

Show usage information.

−m, −−fullscreen

Start tvtime in fullscreen mode.

−M, −−window

Start tvtime in windowed mode.

−p, −−fspos=POS

Set the fullscreen window position. Use this if you have a projector to help tvtime fit properly onto your screen.

−F, −−configfile=FILE

Additional config file to load settings from.

−H, −−height=HEIGHT

Sets the height of the output window to start up at in scanlines. The default output window size is 576 scanlines.

-I, −−inputwidth=SAMPLING

V4L input scanline sampling (defaults to 720. This sets how many pixels per scanline to request from the capture card. A higher setting gives better quality, while a lower setting means we do less work, and so tvtime will run faster. If you have a slower CPU (like, less than 500Mhz or so), maybe values of 480 or 400 might suit you best. For best quality, choose a high value like 720 or 768. Many capture cards cannot sample higher than 768 pixels per scanline.

−d, −−device=NAME

video4linux device to use (defaults to /dev/video0).

−b, −−vbidevice=DEVICE

VBI device to use (defaults to /dev/vbi0).

−i, −−input=INPUTNUM

video4linux input number (defaults to 0). Cards commonly have a bunch of sources, for example, on my WinTV card, source 0 is my tuner and source 1 is the composite input.

−c, −−channel=CHANNEL

On startup, tvtime will tune to the given channel. Otherwise, the channels from the config file will be used.

−n, −−norm=NORM

The mode to set the tuner to (defaults to NTSC). Valid modes are:

−f, −−frequencies=NAME

The channels you are receiving with the tuner (defaults to us−cable). Valid values are:

−R, −−priority=PRI

Sets the process priority (see nice(1)) that tvtime should be run at.

−t, −−xmltv=FILE

Reads XMLTV listings from the given file to display on the OSD. Channels are looked up based on their name, and tvtime will display the show title, sub-title and show description on the OSD.

−l, −−xmltvlanguage=LANG

Use XMLTV data in given language, if available. Languages are represented by their two-letter language code (for example, "de" for German). The default language used in the file will be used if this is unset or set to "none"

−x, −−mixer=DEVICE[:CH]

The mixer device and channel for the volume controls. (defaults to /dev/mixer:line). Valid channels are:
