	      [-t, --alwaysontop]  [--audiocd]	[--videocd]   [--aspectratio as-

DESCRIPTION
     Kaffeine  is a media player. What makes it different from the others is its
     excellent support of digital TV (DVB). Kaffeine  has  user-friendly  inter-
     face,  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.

OPTIONS
     -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 hid-
	 den 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  man-
	 ager, 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

FILES
     Kaffeine uses the file scanfile.dvb with a list of known channels	per  lo-
     cality 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-me-
     dia@vger.kernel.org>, with the subject "[PATCH] dtv-scan-tables:  some  de-
     scription".  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  ap-
     plication.
