--help Show (this) help message

--audio=audiodriver[:device] Select audio driver and optional port

--video=videodriver[:fb_device] Select video driver and optional port As far as supported, possible video drivers might be: fb, DirectFB, sdl, vidixfb, dxr3, aadxr3 or none

--aspect=[auto|4:3|16:9|16:10|default] Display aspect ratio (You can us a script to control the HW aspect ratio: --aspect=auto:path_to_script)

--fullscreen Fullscreen mode

--hud Head Up Display OSD mode

--width=x Video window width

--height=x Video window height

--noscaling Disable all video scaling

--post=name[:arg=val[,arg=val]] Load and use xine post plugins, e.g.:

• --post=upmix

• --post=upmix;tvtime:enabled=1,cheap_mode=1)

--lirc[=devicename] Use lirc input device Optional lirc socket name can be given

--verbose Verbose debug output

--silent Silent mode (report only errors)

--syslog Write all output to system log

--nokbd Disable keyboard input

--daemon Run as daemon (disable keyboard, log to syslog and fork to background)

--slave Enable slave mode (read commands from stdin)

--reconnect Automatically reconnect when connection has been lost

--tcp, --udp, --rtp Use TCP, UDP or RTP transport If no transport options are given, transports are tried in following order: local pipe, rtp, udp, tcp

Search for VDR (xineliboutput) server, connect to it and negotiate best available transport, use best available audio and video driver:

    vdr-fbfe

Connect to 192.168.1.3 default port and negoate best available transport:

     vdr-fbfe xvdr://192.168.1.3

Connect to 192.168.2.100, port 12550 and use TCP transport:

    vdr-fbfe xvdr+tcp://192.168.2.100:12550

Automatically search for VDR server and use UDP transport:

    vdr-fbfe xvdr+udp:
    vdr-fbfe --udp

Use alsa:

    vdr-fbfe --audio alsa

Use alsa (and specific card/sub-device):

    vdr-fbfe --audio alsa:plughw:1,1

Framebuffer driver and device settings:

    vdf-fbfe --video DirectFB
    vdf-fbfe --video fb:/dev/fb/1
    vdf-fbfe --video vidixfb
    vdf-fbfe --video aadxr3

If deinterlacing post plugin options are not given at command line, deinterlacing is controlled by VDR plugin configuration menu settings.

De-interlacing can also be forced on or off with command-line option "--post tvtime". Examples:

    vdr-fbfe --post tvtime:method=Linear,cheap_mode=1,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1
    vdr-fbfe --post tvtime:enable=0
