Kaffeine is a media player. What makes it different from the
others is its excellent support of digital TV (DVB). Kaffeine has
user-friendly interface, so that even first time users can start immediately
playing their movies: from DVD (including DVD menus, titles, chapters,
etc.), VCD, or a file.
Kaffeine uses libVLC as video/audio play backend.
-d --debug
Enable all debug messages. Please notice that Kaffeine
also allows fine-tuning debug messages, by enabling messages per category, by
using the environment var:
QT_LOGGING_RULES=kaffeine.category.debug=true
where category can be:
cam
for dvb CAM logs
dev
for dvb device and libdvbv5 logs
dvbsi
for dvb MPEG-TS SI parsing logs
epg
for dvb EPG logs
dvb
for other dvb logs
config
for configuration logs
mediawidget
for media widget logs
playlist
for playlist logs
sql
for SQL lite logs
vlc
for libVlc logs
--tempfile
The files/URLs opened by the application will be deleted
after use
-f --fullscreen
Start in full screen mode. When in full screen mode, all
menus are hidden by default. In order to unhide the menus, move the mouse to
the menu locations, e. g. to the top/bottom or left position of the
screen.
-m --minimal
Start in minimal mode. In minimal mode, the window
decoration with the title bar is shown. All other menus are hidden by default.
In order to unhide the menus, move the mouse to the menu locations, e. g. to
the top/bottom or left position of the Kaffeine window.
Starts in minimal mode
-t --alwaysontop
Tells the window manager to start Kaffeine main window
always on top of other windows. This option can be disabled later via the
window manager, usually by clicking the title bar with the right mouse button
and deselecting the always on top button box.
--aspectratio aspect_ratio
Forces Kaffeine to start with an specific aspect ratio,
disabling the automatic mode. This can be useful on wide and ultra-wide
monitors, where the user always want to see video in full screen mode using
the maximum possible resolution. Valid values are: 1:1, 4:3, 5:4, 16:9, 16:10,
2.21:1, 2.35:1 and 2.39:1. If an invalid value is passed, or if this option is
not used, it will default to automatic mode.
--audiocd
Play Audio CD
--videocd
Play Video CD
--dvd
Play DVD
--dumpdvb
Dump dvb data (debug option)
--channel name / number
Play TV channel
--tv channel
(deprecated option)
--lastchannel
Play last tuned TV channel
files
Files or URLs to play
Kaffeine uses the file scanfile.dvb with a list of known channels
per locality and per Satellite (for DVB-S).
When either new channels are added on some City, or when new
Satellite beams are added, which are not available in Kaffeine, either use
dvbv5-scan or w_scan to generate a new file (in the latter case, converted
to the proper format using dvb-format-convert), and submit it to
<linux-media@vger.kernel.org>, with the subject “[PATCH]
dtv-scan-tables: some description”. The new patch will be
added to scanfile.dvb and the updated file will be available to be updated
from the Internet in the Kaffeine application.
More detailed user documentation is available from
help:/kaffeine[1] (either enter this URL into Konqueror, or run
khelpcenter help:/kaffeine).
