------------------ xine configuration ------------------ These settings may be found on ~/.xine/config. Since xine 0.9.6 they may also be changed using the xine setup dialog. Some settings on setup dialog will require xine to be restarted to take effect. Audio driver specific values: ----------------------------- audio.alsa_default_device Device name used for mono. (e.g. default) audio.alsa_front_device Device name used for stereo. (e.g. front) audio.alsa_surround40_device Device name used for 4-channel. (e.g. surround40) audio.alsa_surround50_device Device name used for 5-channel. (e.g. surround50) audio.alsa_surround51_device Device name used for 6-channel. (e.g. surround51) audio.alsa_a52_device Device name used for a/52 passthrough. (e.g. iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2) audio.driver audio driver to use, same as command line option -A (e.g. alsa05, alsa09, arts, esd, sun) audio.force_rate If non-zero, force audio output rate to specified value for systems with braindead audio drivers that don't properly communicate back what audio rates they do support. The default value of 0 attempts to automatically detect the optimum audio output rate (e.g. use 44100 to force 44.1 KHz audio) audio.resample_mode Adjust whether resampling is done or not. 1 force off 2 force on Anything else sets it to auto. audio.esd_latency latency between time of audio sample output to esd and actual playback in audio samples (default 30000) use this to manually adjust a/v sync for esd output audio.five_lfe_channel 1/0 : enable 5.1-channel playback audio.five_channel 1/0 : enable 5-channel playback audio.four_channel 1/0 : enable 4-channel playback audio.mixer_name Name of mixer device. audio.mixer_volume 0..100%: Mixer volume. audio.oss_sync_method Type of audio/video synchronization desired 0 = AUTO_DETECT: System attempts to automatically detect thhe optimal type of audio/ video synchronization, with the preference order being GETODELAY, GETOPTR, and finally SOFTSYNC 1 = FORCE_GETODELAY: Try to force use of the SNDCTL_DSP_GETODELAY ioctl to achieve true audio/video synchronization, even if the audio driver doesn't claim to support real-time 2 = FORCE_GETOPTR: Try to force use of the SNDCTL_DSP_GETOPTR ioctl to achieve true audio/video synchronization, even if the system supports the preferred SNDCTL_DSP_GETODELAY ioctl 3 = FORCE_SOFTSYNC: Force use of the system real-time clock for audio softsync with the video, even if the audio driver actually has support for real-time - there may be audio/ video synchronization issues with use of this setting audio.oss_device_num -1, 0-16: Forces the OSS plugin to use the specified dspX device, regardless of its capabilities. If -1 (default) is specified, the audio device with the best capabilities will be used. Note: /dev/dsp is usually a symlink to /dev/dsp0 audio.oss_latency For softsync you can manually adjust the default a/v sync latency here. The units are in miliseconds, so if the sound seems delayed 1 second from the video set it to 1000. (default value = 0) audio.sun_static_delay sun driver static delay (latency) codec specific values: ---------------------- codec.a52_dynrng 1/0: enable a/52 dynamic range compensation codec.a52_level 0..~200% : a/52 volume control codec.a52_pass_through 1/0 : enable a/52 output via spdif port codec.a52_surround_downmix Enable audio downmixing to 2.0 surround stereo. (0) off [default] (1) on codec.divx4_XXX see README.divx4 codec.win32_path path to where you have installed win32 codec dlls for avi playback, e.g. /usr/lib/win32 dxr3.XXX see README.dxr3 input plugins specific values: ------------------------------ input.dvd_device path to your local dvd device file (e.g. /dev/hdc, /dev/cdrom, /dev/dvd) input.dvd_raw_device path to a raw device set up for dvd access (option, e.g. /dev/rdvd) input.vcd_device path to your local vcd device file (option, e.g. /dev/cdrom) input.cda_device path to your local cd audio device file (option, e.g. /dev/cdaudio) input.cda_cddb_server cddbp server name (for quering audio cd track names). (default: freedb.freedb.org) input.cda_cddb_port:8880 cddbp server port (default: 8880) input.cda_cddb_cachedir cddbp cache directory input.file_origin_path origin path to grab file mrls input.file_hidden_files hidden files displaying (filenames starting with dot) miscelaneus values: ------------------- misc.demux_strategy 0..3: Demuxer detection strategy. (see xine.h for details about values). misc.memcpy_method Memcopy method to use in xine for large data chunks. Will be probed on first xine run. possible values: { probe glibc kernel mmx mmxext sse } misc.osd_text_palette Palette (foreground-border-background) to use on subtitles (not DVD!) available options: white-black-transparent white-none-transparent white-none-translucid yellow-black-transparent misc.osd_display Show status on play, pause, ff, ... video driver specific values: ----------------------------- video.deinterlace_method method to use for software-deinterlacing (currently only supported on Xv driver): 0 none 1 bob: if movement is detected on interlaced lines interpolate the pixels. lose resolution only on moving pixels but should avoid zig-zag effects. 2 weave: similar to bob with a tendency to preserve original image (less interpolation). must be good for high detail on low-movement scenes, but usually has bad output. 3 greedy: take either the older or newer weave pixel depending upon which give the smaller comb factor, and then clip to avoid large damage when wrong. very good results for low or intermediate motion. 4 onefield: always interpolate lines, not matter they are static or moving. always lose resolution. 5 onefieldxv: the same as onefield except we deliver half of the lines to Xvideo driver and let it scale for us. very low cpu usage. not all cards implement bilinear scaling (interpolation) so this may be the worst quality method, but it's the only that don't require MMX. video.syncfb_device Path to the syncfb device (default: /dev/syncfb) video.syncfb_default_repeat Specifies how many times a frame is repeated. Defaults to 3. (note: hardware deinterlacing will always use 1) video.driver video driver to use, same as command line option -V (e.g. aa, Syncfb, XShm, Xv) video.xshm_gamma gamma correction for XShm driver (-100..100) note: in fact, it may be referred as brightness *** NOTE: not all XV attributes are available for every video card/driver video.XV_COLORKEY -1000..1000: X11 XVideo COLORKEY property value. colorkey to use, may be usefull to change if parts of your desktop become transparent video.XV_BRIGHTNESS -1000..1000: X11 XVideo BRIGHTNESS property value. video.XV_CONTRAST -1000..1000: X11 XVideo CONTRAST property value. video.XV_SATURATION -1000..1000: X11 XVideo SATURATION property value. video.XV_HUE -1000..1000: X11 XVideo HUE property value. video.XV_FILTER Enable bilinear scaling mode on Permedia cards (may impact on performance) 0 = no filter Permedia 2: 1 = enabled Permedia 3: 1 = partial (x direction); 2 = full No other cards seem to support this. video.XV_DOUBLE_BUFFER Enable double buffering to sync video on monitor retrace. At least nvidia drivers should support this. video.zoom_mpeg1 1/0 : enable automatic zoom of small (e.g. mpeg1) videos to double size xine-ui specific values: ----------------------- gui.tips_visible gui tips visibility tips_timeout tips timeout (ms), default: 500 gui.skin skin to use, see /share/xine/skins for installed skins (e.g. default, lcd, pitt, xinetic) gui.layer_above Boolean value of WM layer property using. gui.use_xvidext XINE can switch to a different screen resolution which fits your video material best when toggling fullscreen mode by using the XF86VidMode Extension. (0) off [default] (1) on *** NOTE: following values shouldn't be changed by user: gui.panel_x X coords of panel window in root window. gui.panel_y Y coords of panel window in root window. gui.panel_visible Visibility boolean value of panel window. gui.control_x X coords of control window in root window. gui.control_y Y coords of control window in root window. gui.playlist_x X coords of playlist window in root window. gui.playlist_y Y coords of playlist window in root window. gui.x_mrl_browser X coords of mrl browser window in root window. gui.y_mrl_browser Y coords of mrl browser window in root window. *** --- version of this file: $Id: README.config_en,v 1.2 2002/01/04 21:00:13 miguelfreitas Exp $
