       are mutually exclusive.

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.

OPTIONS

       -d --debug
           Enable all debug messages. Please notice that Kaffeine also allows fine-tuning debug
           messages, by enabling messages per category, by using the environment var:

            QT_LOGGING_RULES=kaffeine.category.debug=true

           where category can be:

           cam
               for dvb CAM logs

           dev
               for dvb device and libdvbv5 logs

           dvbsi
               for dvb MPEG-TS SI parsing logs

           epg
               for dvb EPG logs

           dvb
               for other dvb logs

           config
               for configuration logs

           mediawidget
               for media widget logs

           playlist
               for playlist logs

           sql
               for SQL lite logs

           vlc
               for libVlc logs

       --tempfile
           The files/URLs opened by the application will be deleted after use

       -f --fullscreen
           Start in full screen mode. When in full screen mode, all menus are hidden by default.
           In order to unhide the menus, move the mouse to the menu locations, e. g. to the
           top/bottom or left position of the screen.

       -m --minimal
           Start in minimal mode. In minimal mode, the window decoration with the title bar is
           shown. All other menus are hidden by default. In order to unhide the menus, move the
           mouse to the menu locations, e. g. to the top/bottom or left position of the Kaffeine
           window.

           Starts in minimal mode

       -t --alwaysontop
           Tells the window manager to start Kaffeine main window always on top of other windows.
           This option can be disabled later via the window manager, usually by clicking the
           title bar with the right mouse button and deselecting the always on top button box.

       --aspectratio aspect_ratio
           Forces Kaffeine to start with an specific aspect ratio, disabling the automatic mode.
           This can be useful on wide and ultra-wide monitors, where the user always want to see
           video in full screen mode using the maximum possible resolution. Valid values are:
           1:1, 4:3, 5:4, 16:9, 16:10, 2.21:1, 2.35:1 and 2.39:1. If an invalid value is passed,
           or if this option is not used, it will default to automatic mode.

       --audiocd
           Play Audio CD

       --videocd
           Play Video CD

       --dvd
           Play DVD

       --dumpdvb
           Dump dvb data (debug option)

       --channel name / number
           Play TV channel

       --tv channel
           (deprecated option)

       --lastchannel
           Play last tuned TV channel

       files
           Files or URLs to play

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.
