DESCRIPTION

15       This manual page explains the aaxine program. Aaxine, is an aalib based
16       frontend for libxine, a versatile video/multimedia player.
17
18       aaxine is for those who don't have a high end video card, but just want
19       to watch DVDs on their good old vt100 ;-)
20
21       Like xine, aaxine plays MPEG system (audio and video) streams, mpeg el‐
22       ementary  streams  (e.g.  .mp3  or  .mpv files), avi files (using win32
23       codecs or ffmpeg), (S)VCDs, DVDs and  many  more.  In  short,  anything
24       that's supported by xine-lib.

OPTIONS

28       The  program  follows  usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
29       starting with two dashes (`-').  A summary of options are included  be‐
30       low.    For   a   complete   description,   see   README   and  FAQ  in
31       /usr/share/doc/xine-ui-0.99.14 or on the xine home page.
32
33       -h, --help
34              Show summary of options and available output drivers (plugins).
35
36       A big bunch of these options is provided by aalib. Please refer to your
37       aalib documentation for those!
38
39       The  remaining options, labelled AAXINE options: when listed with "aax‐
40       ine --help", are explained here.
41
42       -A, --audio-driver <drv>
43              Use given audio driver. Available drivers  can  be  listed  with
44              "aaxine --help"
45
46       -a, --audio-channel <num>
47              Use given audio channel. Channels are sequentially numbered from
48              0 for first audio track.
49
50       -R, --recognize-by [option]
51              Determine the method used to recognize stream type. Possible op‐
52              tions are:
53              `default': by content, then by extension,
54              `revert': by extension, then by content,
55              `content': only by content,
56              `extension': only by extension.
57              If  -R  is  given  without an additional option, `revert' is se‐
58              lected.

MRLs

62       MRLs are similar to URLs in your web browser. They describe  the  media
63       to  read from. valid MRLs may be plain file names or one of the follow‐
64       ing:
65       file:<path>
66       fifo:<path>
67       stdin:/
68       dvd:/<title>.<part>
69       vcd:/<tracknumber>
70       tcp://<host>:<port>
71       rtp://<host>:<port>
72       udp://<host>:<port>
73       mms://<host>...
74       http://<host>...
75       cdda://<tracknumber>
76
77       Several MRLs may be specified in order to play a number of  consecutive
78       streams.  Additional  input  plugins will provide additional MRL types.
79       The ones listed above are available with stock libxine...
80       After a delimiting # you can add several stream parameters:
81
82       novideo
83              video will be ignored
84
85       noaudio
86              audio will be ignored
87
88       nospu  subpictures will be ignored
89
90       demux:<demux name>
91              specify the demux plugin to use
92
93       volume:<level>
94              set audio volume
95
96       compression:<level>
97              set audio dynamic range compression
98
99       <config entry>:<config value>
100              assign a new value to any config entry
101
102

BUGS

131       none, of course ;-) Well, there are surely a  few  of  those.  You  can
132       probably  best ask for support (and report bugs) on our mailing list at
133       <xine-user@lists.sf.net>.
