rootv(1)rootv(1)NAMErootv - display TV using the Xvideo extension
SYNOPSISrootv [ options ]
DESCRIPTIONrootv puts a video to some window. By default it creates its own win‐
dow, 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.
OPTIONSrootv 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).
