NAME

       rootv - display TV using the Xvideo extension

SYNOPSIS

       rootv [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       rootv puts a video to some window.  By default it creates its own window, but you can also
       ask it to use the root window (thus the name) or any other window.  rootv needs the Xvideo
       extension.

       rootv itself provides no way to control video/audio/tuner.  You can use v4lctl to do this.

OPTIONS

       rootv knows a number of command line options to modify the behaviour.

       -help  Print a short description of all command line options.

       -verbose
              Be verbose.  That will dump some debug messages to stderr.

       -root  Put the video onto the root window instead of creating a new window.

       -id <win>
              Put the video into the window <win> instead of creating a new window.

       -station <st>
              Tune  station <st>.  This just calls v4lctl, which in turn will look up the station
              in your ~/.xawtv config file.

       -no-mute
              Don't toggle mute.  By default rootv will unmute the TV card  when  it  starts  and
              mute it on exit.  It does this using the XV_MUTE attribute (if available).

       -port <n>
              Use  Xvideo  port  <n>.  Try the -verbose switch if you want to know which ones are
              available.

       -bg    Fork into background.

       -wm    Print WindowMaker menu (set stations using v4lctl).
