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 "aax‐
       ine --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 follow‐
       ing:
       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 bind‐
       ings 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>.
