--audio=audiodriver[:device]: Select audio driver and optional port
--video=videodriver[:fb_device]: Select video driver and optional port As far as supported, possible video drivers might be: fb, DirectFB, sdl, vidixfb, dxr3, aadxr3 or none
--aspect=[auto|4:3|16:9|16:10|default]: Display aspect ratio (You can us a script to control the HW aspect ratio: --aspect=auto:path_to_script)
--fullscreen: Fullscreen mode
--hud: Head Up Display OSD mode
--width=x: Video window width
--height=x: Video window height
--noscaling: Disable all video scaling
--post=name[:arg=val[,arg=val]]: Load and use xine post plugins, e.g.:

--lirc[=devicename]: Use lirc input device Optional lirc socket name can be given
--verbose: Verbose debug output
--silent: Silent mode (report only errors)
--syslog: Write all output to system log

--tcp, --udp, --rtp: Use TCP, UDP or RTP transport If no transport options are given, transports are tried in following order: local pipe, rtp, udp, tcp

Search for VDR (xineliboutput) server, connect to it and negotiate best available transport, use best available audio and video driver:



    vdr-fbfe

Connect to 192.168.1.3 default port and negoate best available transport:



     vdr-fbfe xvdr://192.168.1.3

Connect to 192.168.2.100, port 12550 and use TCP transport:



    vdr-fbfe xvdr+tcp://192.168.2.100:12550

Automatically search for VDR server and use UDP transport:



    vdr-fbfe xvdr+udp:


    vdr-fbfe --udp

Use alsa:



    vdr-fbfe --audio alsa

Use alsa (and specific card/sub-device):



    vdr-fbfe --audio alsa:plughw:1,1

Framebuffer driver and device settings:



    vdf-fbfe --video DirectFB


    vdf-fbfe --video fb:/dev/fb/1


    vdf-fbfe --video vidixfb


    vdf-fbfe --video aadxr3

If deinterlacing post plugin options are not given at command line, deinterlacing is controlled by VDR plugin configuration menu settings.

De-interlacing can also be forced on or off with command-line option "--post tvtime". Examples:



    vdr-fbfe --post tvtime:method=Linear,cheap_mode=1,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1


    vdr-fbfe --post tvtime:enable=0
