NAME

       kaffeine - A media player by KDE with digital TV support

SYNOPSIS

       kaffeine [-d, --debug] [--tempfile] [-f, --fullscreen] [--audiocd] [--videocd] [--dvd]
                [--dumpdvb] [--channel name / number] [--tv channel] [--lastchannel] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       Kaffeine is a media player. What makes it different from the others is its excellent
       support of digital TV (DVB). Kaffeine has user-friendly interface, so that even first time
       users can start immediately playing their movies: from DVD (including DVD menus, titles,
       chapters, etc.), VCD, or a file.

       Kaffeine uses libVLC as video/audio play backend.

           messages, by enabling messages per category, by using the environment var:

FILES

       Kaffeine uses the file scanfile.dvb with a list of known channels per locality and per
       Satellite (for DVB-S).

       When either new channels are added on some City, or when new Satellite beams are added,
       which are not available in Kaffeine, either use dvbv5-scan or w_scan to generate a new
       file (in the latter case, converted to the proper format using dvb-format-convert), and
       submit it to <linux-media@vger.kernel.org>, with the subject “[PATCH] dtv-scan-tables:
       some description”. The new patch will be added to scanfile.dvb and the updated file will
       be available to be updated from the Internet in the Kaffeine application.
