PROGRAM:

NAME

aaxine - an ASCII art video player

SYNOPSIS

aaxine [aalib-options] [-A<audio-driver>] [-a<audio-channel>] [-R<rec-by>] [MRL...]

DESCRIPTION

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

aaxine is for those who don't have a high end video card, but just want to watch DVDs on
their good old vt100 ;-)

Like xine, aaxine plays MPEG system (audio and video) streams, mpeg elementary streams
(e.g. .mp3 or .mpv files), avi files (using win32 codecs or ffmpeg), (S)VCDs, DVDs and
many more. In short, anything that's supported by xine-lib.

OPTIONS

The program follows usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two
dashes (`-'). A summary of options are included below. For a complete description, see
README and FAQ in /usr/share/doc/xine-ui or on the xine home page.

-h, --help
Show summary of options and available output drivers (plugins).

A big bunch of these options is provided by aalib. Please refer to your aalib
documentation for those!

The remaining options, labelled AAXINE options: when listed with "aaxine --help", are
explained here.

-A, --audio-driver <drv>
Use given audio driver. Available drivers can be listed with "aaxine --help"

-a, --audio-channel <num>
Use given audio channel. Channels are sequentially numbered from 0 for first audio
track.

-R, --recognize-by [option]
Determine the method used to recognize stream type. Possible options are:
`default': by content, then by extension,
`revert': by extension, then by content,
`content': only by content,
`extension': only by extension.
If -R is given without an additional option, `revert' is selected.

MRLs

MRLs are similar to URLs in your web browser. They describe the media to read from. valid
MRLs may be plain file names or one of the following:
file:<path>
fifo:<path>
stdin:/
dvd:/<title>.<part>
vcd:/<tracknumber>
tcp://<host>:<port>
rtp://<host>:<port>
udp://<host>:<port>
mms://<host>...
http://<host>...
cdda://<tracknumber>

Several MRLs may be specified in order to play a number of consecutive streams. Additional
input plugins will provide additional MRL types. The ones listed above are available with
stock libxine...
After a delimiting # you can add several stream parameters:

novideo
