NAME
Linux Video Studio TV - a TV application
SYNOPSIS
stv [-h] [-v] [-p num] [-t] [-d] [-c name] [-g WxH+X+Y] [-l device] [-m device]
DESCRIPTION
Linux Video Studio TV is a simple TV-app for linux, based on Gtk+ and the XFree Xv/v4l module. It works, that's all. It has no fancy special features, like video capturing. It just shows TV.
OPTIONS
Linux Video Studio TV ('stv') accepts the following options:
- -h
-
Prints a help/usage message and quits
- -v
-
Prints version information and quits
- -p num
-
Gives you the possibility to select a Video4Linux Xvideo port to be used. By default (if you omit this option or if you give 0 as an argument), Linux Video Studio will try to select one automatically. You can select another one with this option or in the Options window.
- -l device
-
The Linux Infrared Remote Control device file (default: /dev/lircd)
- -m device
-
The audio device to use for volume control
- -t
-
Prints Video4Linux Xvideo ports information and quits.
- -g WxH+X+Y
-
The preferred size of the video window (width x height), with the offset in pixels (X and Y) which define the top left position of where to place the window.
- -d
-
Enables verbose/debugging mode.
- -c name
-
The name (default: 'studio') is used to safe the configuration. By using multiple names, you can use multiple configurations all for one user. For example, if you have both a Buz and a DC10+, you could use '-c buz' for the Buz and '-c dc10' for the DC10+ card so that the two configurations will both be saved separately.
CONTROL
You can control stv in three ways: with an infrared (LIRC-compatible) remote control, with the mouse or with your keyboard.

arrow down - next channel
arrow up - previous channel
arrows left/right - Volume control

Infrared Remote Control (LIRC)

BUGS
Do we contain bugs? Yes, very likely. We just don't know which bugs yet, so that's for the user (you) to find out! If you've found bugs, please mail a bug report to the developers (see CONTACTING). Before sending bug reports saying nothing more than "it won't work", please try running in a terminal window with the -d (debug) option and attach the output to the bug report. Also, if it gives a segfault, please run the core-file through gdb or run studio within gdb and attach the output of gdb too, so that we know where it crashed.
