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
