15 This manual page explains the aaxine program. Aaxine, is an aalib based
16 frontend for libxine, a versatile video/multimedia player.
17 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 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.

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 -h, --help
34 Show summary of options and available output drivers (plugins).
35 A big bunch of these options is provided by aalib. Please refer to your
37 aalib documentation for those!
38 The remaining options, labelled AAXINE options: when listed with "aax‐
40 ine --help", are explained here.
41 -A, --audio-driver <drv>
43 Use given audio driver. Available drivers can be listed with
44 "aaxine --help"
45 -a, --audio-channel <num>
47 Use given audio channel. Channels are sequentially numbered from
48 0 for first audio track.
49 -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.

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 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 novideo
83 video will be ignored
84 noaudio
86 audio will be ignored
87 nospu subpictures will be ignored
89 demux:<demux name>
91 specify the demux plugin to use
92 volume:<level>
94 set audio volume
95 compression:<level>
97 set audio dynamic range compression
98 <config entry>:<config value>
100 assign a new value to any config entry
101
104 Many features can be controlled by pressing control keys. The Key bind‐
105 ings are:
106 <RETURN> / R
108 Play
109 <SPACE> / P
111 Pause
112 0 Jump to start of current stream

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>.
