NAME
tvtime-configure - change settings in the tvtime configuration file
SYNOPSIS
tvtime-configure [ OPTION ] ...
DESCRIPTION
tvtime-configure allows a user to set configuration settings for tvtime without starting the application. This is useful for installation programs such as debconf to let them configure tvtime without having to write a parser for the configuration file. The command line options are a subset of those for tvtime itself.
OPTIONS
-a, --widescreen
This option starts tvtime in 16:9 aspect ratio mode.
-A, --nowidescreen
This option starts tvtime in 4:3 aspect ratio mode.
-h, --help
Show usage information.
-m, --fullscreen
Start tvtime in fullscreen mode.
-M, --window
Start tvtime in windowed mode.
-p, --fspos=POS
Set the fullscreen window position. Use this if you have a
projector to help tvtime fit properly onto your screen.
* top
* bottom
* centre (default)
-F, --configfile=FILE
Additional config file to load settings from.
-H, --height=HEIGHT
Sets the height of the output window to start up at in
scanlines. The default output window size is 576 scanlines.
-I, --inputwidth=SAMPLING
V4L input scanline sampling (defaults to 720. This sets how
many pixels per scanline to request from the capture card. A
higher setting gives better quality, while a lower setting means
we do less work, and so tvtime will run faster. If you have a
slower CPU (like, less than 500Mhz or so), maybe values of
480 or 400 might suit you best. For best quality, choose a high
value like 720 or 768. Many capture cards cannot sample higher
than 768 pixels per scanline.
-d, --device=NAME
video4linux device to use (defaults to auto).
-l, --audioloopback
This sets the audio loopback mode. The audio loopback mode is
required when capture card is not connected to the sound card
via a cable. In this case, tvtime needs to map the audio from
the internal digital capture out to sound card.
-L, --noaudioloopback
Disable audio loopback mode.
-b, --vbidevice=DEVICE
VBI device to use (defaults to auto).
-i, --input=INPUTNUM
video4linux input number (defaults to 0). Cards commonly have a
bunch of sources, for example, on my WinTV card, source 0 is my
tuner and source 1 is the composite input.
-c, --channel=CHANNEL
On startup, tvtime will tune to the given channel. Otherwise,
the channels from the config file will be used.
-n, --norm=NORM
The mode to set the tuner to (defaults to NTSC). Valid modes
are:
* NTSC

-R, --priority=PRI
Sets the process priority (see nice(1)) that tvtime should be
run at.
-t, --xmltv=FILE
Reads XMLTV listings from the given file to display on the OSD.
Channels are looked up based on their name, and tvtime will
display the show title, sub-title and show description on the
OSD.
-T, --xmltvlanguage=LANG
Use XMLTV data in given language, if available. Languages are
represented by their two-letter language code (for example, "de"
for German). The default language used in the file will be used
if this is unset or set to "none"
