NAME
       aaxine - an ASCII art video player


SYNOPSIS
       aaxine [aalib-options] [-A<audio-driver>] [-a<audio-channel>] [-R<rec-by>] [MRL...]


DESCRIPTION
       This manual page explains the aaxine program. Aaxine, is an aalib based frontend for libxine, a versatile
       video/multimedia player.

       aaxine is for those who don't have a high end video card, but just want to watch DVDs on their  good  old
       vt100 ;-)

       Like xine, aaxine plays MPEG system (audio and video) streams, mpeg elementary streams (e.g. .mp3 or .mpv
       files), avi files (using win32 codecs or ffmpeg), (S)VCDs, DVDs and many more. In short, anything  that's
       supported by xine-lib.


OPTIONS
       The  program  follows usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').  A
       summary  of  options  are  included  below.   For  a  complete  description,  see  README  and   FAQ   in
       /usr/share/doc/xine-ui or on the xine home page.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options and available output drivers (plugins).

       A big bunch of these options is provided by aalib. Please refer to your aalib documentation for those!

       The remaining options, labelled AAXINE options: when listed with "aaxine --help", are explained here.

       -A, --audio-driver <drv>
              Use given audio driver. Available drivers can be listed with "aaxine --help"

       -a, --audio-channel <num>
              Use given audio channel. Channels are sequentially numbered from 0 for first audio track.

       -R, --recognize-by [option]
              Determine the method used to recognize stream type. Possible options are:
              `default': by content, then by extension,
              `revert': by extension, then by content,
              `content': only by content,
              `extension': only by extension.
              If -R is given without an additional option, `revert' is selected.


MRLs
       MRLs  are  similar  to  URLs in your web browser. They describe the media to read from. valid MRLs may be
       plain file names or one of the following:
       file:<path>
       fifo:<path>
       stdin:/
       dvd:/<title>.<part>
       vcd:/<tracknumber>
       tcp://<host>:<port>
       rtp://<host>:<port>
       udp://<host>:<port>
       mms://<host>...
       http://<host>...
       cdda://<tracknumber>

       Several MRLs may be specified in order to play a number of consecutive streams. Additional input  plugins
       will provide additional MRL types.  The ones listed above are available with stock libxine...
       After a delimiting # you can add several stream parameters:

       novideo
              video will be ignored

       noaudio
              audio will be ignored

       nospu  subpictures will be ignored

       demux:<demux name>
              specify the demux plugin to use

       volume:<level>
              set audio volume

       compression:<level>
              set audio dynamic range compression

       <config entry>:<config value>
              assign a new value to any config entry


CONTROL KEYS
       Many features can be controlled by pressing control keys. The Key bindings are:

       <RETURN> / R
              Play

       <SPACE> / P
              Pause

       0      Jump to start of current stream

       1 .. 9 Jump to 10%..90% of current stream

       <PgUp> Jump to previous stream in playlist

       <PgDown>
              Jump to next stream in playlist

       +      Select next audio channel (may take up to a few seconds to take effect)

       -      Select prev audio channel

       Q      Exit.


BUGS
       none,  of  course  ;-)  Well, there are surely a few of those. You can probably best ask for support (and
       report bugs) on our mailing list at <xine-user@lists.sf.net>.
