tvtime-configure - change settings in the tvtime
configuration file
tvtime-configure [ OPTION ] ...
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.
- -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.

- -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 /dev/video0).
- -b,
--vbidevice=DEVICE
- VBI device to use (defaults to /dev/vbi0).
- -i,
--input=INPUTNUM

bunch of sources, for example, on my WinTV card, source 0 is my
tuner and source 1 is the composite input.
