tvtime-configure - change settings in the tvtime configuration file

tvtime-configure [ OPTION ] ...

tvtime-configure allows a user to set configuration settings for tvtime without starting the application. This is useful for installation programs such as debconf to let them configure tvtime without having to write a parser for the configuration file. The command line options are a subset of those for tvtime itself.

This option starts tvtime in 16:9 aspect ratio mode.
This option starts tvtime in 4:3 aspect ratio mode.
Show usage information.
Start tvtime in fullscreen mode.
Start tvtime in windowed mode.
Set the fullscreen window position. Use this if you have a projector to help tvtime fit properly onto your screen.

Additional config file to load settings from.
Sets the height of the output window to start up at in scanlines. The default output window size is 576 scanlines.
V4L input scanline sampling (defaults to 720. This sets how many pixels per scanline to request from the capture card. A higher setting gives better quality, while a lower setting means we do less work, and so tvtime will run faster. If you have a slower CPU (like, less than 500Mhz or so), maybe values of 480 or 400 might suit you best. For best quality, choose a high value like 720 or 768. Many capture cards cannot sample higher than 768 pixels per scanline.
video4linux device to use (defaults to /dev/video0).
VBI device to use (defaults to /dev/vbi0).
video4linux input number (defaults to 0). Cards commonly have a bunch of sources, for example, on my WinTV card, source 0 is my tuner and source 1 is the composite input.
