man kaffeine (1): A media player by KDE with digital TV support

SYNOPSIS

kaffeine [--tempfile] [-f, --fullscreen] [--audiocd] [--videocd] [--dvd] [--dumpdvb] [--channel name / number] [--tv channel] [--lastchannel] [file]

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 interface, 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.

FILES

Kaffeine uses the file scanfile.dvb with a list of known channels per locality 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 <[email protected]>, with the subject "[PATCH] dtv-scan-tables: some description". 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 application.
