                [-t, --alwaysontop] [--audiocd] [--videocd]

       --videocd, --dvd and files are mutually exclusive.

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.

OPTIONS
       -d --debug
           Enable all debug messages. Please notice that Kaffeine also allows
           fine-tuning debug messages, by enabling messages per category, by
           using the environment var:

            QT_LOGGING_RULES=kaffeine.category.debug=true

           where category can be:

           cam
               for dvb CAM logs

           dev
               for dvb device and libdvbv5 logs

           dvbsi
               for dvb MPEG-TS SI parsing logs

           epg
               for dvb EPG logs

           dvb
               for other dvb logs

           config
               for configuration logs

           mediawidget
               for media widget logs

           playlist
               for playlist logs

           sql
               for SQL lite logs

           vlc
               for libVlc logs

       --tempfile
           The files/URLs opened by the application will be deleted after use

       -f --fullscreen
           Start in full screen mode. When in full screen mode, all menus are
           hidden by default. In order to unhide the menus, move the mouse to
           the menu locations, e. g. to the top/bottom or left position of the
           screen.

       -m --minimal
           Start in minimal mode. In minimal mode, the window decoration with
           the title bar is shown. All other menus are hidden by default. In
           order to unhide the menus, move the mouse to the menu locations, e.
           g. to the top/bottom or left position of the Kaffeine window.

           Starts in minimal mode

       -t --alwaysontop
           Tells the window manager to start Kaffeine main window always on
           top of other windows. This option can be disabled later via the
           window manager, usually by clicking the title bar with the right
           mouse button and deselecting the always on top button box.

       --aspectratio aspect_ratio
           Forces Kaffeine to start with an specific aspect ratio, disabling
           the automatic mode. This can be useful on wide and ultra-wide
           monitors, where the user always want to see video in full screen
           mode using the maximum possible resolution. Valid values are: 1:1,
           4:3, 5:4, 16:9, 16:10, 2.21:1, 2.35:1 and 2.39:1. If an invalid
           value is passed, or if this option is not used, it will default to
           automatic mode.

       --audiocd
           Play Audio CD

       --videocd
           Play Video CD

       --dvd
           Play DVD

       --dumpdvb
           Dump dvb data (debug option)

       --channel name / number
           Play TV channel

       --tv channel
           (deprecated option)

       --lastchannel
           Play last tuned TV channel

       files
           Files or URLs to play

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 <linux-media@vger.kernel.org>, 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.
