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.

tvtime
in 16:9 aspect ratio mode.

tvtime
in 4:3 aspect ratio mode.

- -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.

-
video4linux device to use (defaults to

- -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.

tvtime
will tune to the given channel. Otherwise, the
