rootv(1)		     General Commands Manual			rootv(1)

NAME
     rootv - display TV using the Xvideo extension

SYNOPSIS
     rootv [ options ]

DESCRIPTION
     rootv  puts  a video to some window.  By default it creates its own window,
     but you can also ask it to use the root window (thus the name) or any other
     window.  rootv needs the Xvideo extension.

     rootv itself provides no way to control  video/audio/tuner.   You	can  use
     v4lctl to do this.

OPTIONS
     rootv knows a number of command line options to modify the behaviour.

     -help  Print a short description of all command line options.

     -verbose
	    Be verbose.  That will dump some debug messages to stderr.

     -root  Put the video onto the root window instead of creating a new window.

     -id <win>
	    Put  the  video into the window <win> instead of creating a new win-
	    dow.

     -station <st>
	    Tune station <st>.	This just calls v4lctl, which in turn will  look
	    up the station in your ~/.xawtv config file.

     -no-mute
	    Don't toggle mute.	By default rootv will unmute the TV card when it
	    starts  and  mute  it  on  exit.  It does this using the XV_MUTE at-
	    tribute (if available).

     -port <n>
	    Use Xvideo port <n>.  Try the -verbose switch if you  want	to  know
	    which ones are available.

     -bg    Fork into background.

     -wm    Print WindowMaker menu (set stations using v4lctl).
