rootv(1) General Commands Manual rootv(1) NAME
rootv - display TV using the Xvideo extension SYNOPSIS
rootv [ options ] DESCRIPTION
rootv puts a video to some window. By default it creates its own window, 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. OPTIONS
rootv 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). SEE ALSO

pia - play media files SYNOPSIS
pia [ options ] movie DESCRIPTION
pia is a small X11 tool which plays movie files. OPTIONS
pia understands the usual toolkit options (-geometry + friends). Additional options are: -h display help text -v be verbose. -debug enable debug messages. -dsp <dev> Use OSS device <dev> for sound. -noxv Disable Xvideo extension. -nogl Disable OpenGL. -noaudio Don't play sound. -novideo Don't play video. -slow n Slowdown video playback by factor n. n=2 doubles playback time, ... This also turns off audio playback. SUPPORTED MOVIE FORMATS
Main purpose of this utility is to playback movie files recorded by xawtv, motv and streamer. It should be able to playback every AVI or QuickTime movie written by one of the mentioned utilities. Feel free to submit a bug report if this doesn't work for some file. QuickTime pia uses libquicktime to decode quicktime movies, thus it should be able to decode and playback all movies with codecs supported by libquicktime. AVI AVI support is very limited. Video: uncompressed RGB data (15 and 24 bpp) and mjpeg is supported. Audio: only uncompressed PCM data works. WAV WAV files are playable too, with the same limitation like AVI audio: only uncompressed PCM data. AUTHOR
