              parameters to this external application with % codes.

USAGE

       This sections describes how to use the application in docked state. See below for fullscreen mode usage.

       Button map:
           [ < ] [ > ] [ 0 ]
            <1>   <2>   <3>

       There are 3 modes of operation on this applications. You can cycle through the 3 modes by clicking on the
       right most button <3>.

       The 3 modes are described below:

            On mode
            Clicking on the rightmost button <3> for the first time (after the start of WMTV) will turn  the  TV
            on.  While in this mode, the left <1> and right <2> buttons change to preset channels which has been
            defined in your config file. Use the left button to move down one channel and the  right  button  to
            move up one channel.

            Tune mode
            Clicking  again  on  button  <3> after On mode will change WMTV into tune mode. Left-clicking on the
            left <1> or right <2> button performs a channel scan. Scanning stops when there is a  strong  signal
            strength.  Right-clicking  on the left <1> or right <2> button fine tunes the current channel. After
            tuning, clicking on button <3> saves the fine tuning to your config file and brings  you  back  into
            "On mode".

            Off mode
            Holding  down  button <3> for about 3 seconds from any of the two modes described above turns the TV
            off.

       Right-clicking the TV screen mutes/unmutes the audio.

       Double left-clicking the TV screen launches the application  specified  with  --exe.  If  --exe  was  not
       specified,  then the built-in full-screen mode is used instead. Double middle-clicking will always invoke
       the built-in full screen mode.

FULL SCREEN MODE

       To exit full screen mode, click.

       Keyboard functions
         Up     - Change to next preset channel.
         Down   - Change to previous preset channel.
         Right  - Increase volume. (If supported by the v4l device.)
         Left   - Decrease volume. (If supported.)
         Escape - Leave full screen mode.
         m      - mute/unmute.

EXTERNAL APPLICATION

       It is possible to pass some parameters to the external application through % codes:
         %% is replaced by a single %.
         %n is replaced by the name of the current channel.
         %# is replaced by the number of the current channel.
         %f is replaced by the current frequency in MHz.
       The behavior of other % codes is undefined and subject to change.

       Example: wmtv -e 'xawtv "%n"'
