<p>Almost all features of tvtime can be configured through the
menu system. Click the right mouse button, or hit tab when
you run tvtime to bring up the menu. As well, many features
can be configured using the command-line tool
<b>tvtime-configure</b>. Run '<b>tvtime-configure --help</b>' to
get a list of command line arguments. Make sure tvtime is not
running while you use <b>tvtime-configure</b>. An example of
using this tool to configure tvtime is given below:
<pre>
tvtime-configure --norm=pal --frequencies=europe
</pre>
<p>This will save to your config file the norm PAL and frequency table
Europe as your defaults. See <tt>docs/default.tvtime.xml</tt> for
a default configuration file and the default runtime keybindings.</p>
<h3><a name="deinterlacing">2. Deinterlacing modes explained</a></h3>
<p>tvtime includes different deinterlacing modes for different types of
content as well as different output refresh rates or CPU constraints.
Below we have separated out our modes based on their content, and
provide a description of each.</p>
<h4>Modes for video content</h4>
<p>Most of the deinterlacing methods in tvtime are intended for use on
video content. All of the following are considered video content:</p>
<ul>
<li>News shows and information channels.
<li>Most live-action television dramas.
<li>Sports broadcasts.
<li>Most video gaming consoles.
</ul>
<p>We provide three classes of video deinterlacers: <b>Television</b>,
<b>Blur</b> and <b>Motion adaptive</b>.</p>
<h4>Television mode, full and half resolution</h4>
<p>In television mode, tvtime expands each field to full resolution,
without ever blurring in time or copying in time. this effectively
simulates a television. Use this mode when you want TV-quality with low
CPU, and you have configured your monitor to run at the refresh rate of
the video signal (59.94 Hz or 50 Hz). There are two television
deinterlacers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Full Resolution: High quality for fullscreen use.
<li>Half Resolution: Poor quality for watching
TV in a small window.
</ul>
<h4>Blur mode, temporal and vertical</h4>
<p>In blur mode, tvtime avoids flicker by blurring together consecutive
frames of input. Use this if you want to run your monitor at an
arbitrary refresh rate, and have tvtime not use much CPU. There are two
blur modes available:</p>
<ul>
<li>Vertical: Blur vertically more than temporally,
better for high motion content like sports.
<li>Temporal: Evenly blur in time, low CPU mode for
less flicker, but visible trails on fast motion.
</ul>
<h4>Motion adaptive modes, search, advanced and simple detection</h4>
<p>The motion adaptive modes in tvtime try to detect motion in the input
frames, reconstructing detail where possible. You want to run your
monitor at an arbitrary refresh rate, and don't mind using a lot of
CPU. There are three modes available in tvtime:</p>
<ul>
<li>Simple and Advanced detection: Linear interpolation where motion is
detected, copy where no motion. Simple and advanced versions are
provided to give small or moderate CPU requirements with high quality
output. These are the greedy low motion and high motion deinterlacers
from <a href="http://dscaler.org/">DScaler</a>.
<li>Motion search: Follow motion vectors for more accurate
interpolation. High quality with high CPU requirements. This is
the TomsMoComp deinterlacer from <a href="http://dscaler.org/">DScaler</a>.
</ul>
<h4>Modes built for film content</h4>
<p>We are still working on better support for film detection
modes in tvtime, but we already support some useful
features. Film content is what we would call anything that
either originated from film or has been converted to video from
an originally progressive format.</p>
<ul>
<li>Films broadcast on TV or from a DVD player.
<li>Cartoons and most anime.
<li>Some higher budget television dramas
<li>Older video gaming consoles.
</ul>
<h4>Progressive (top or bottom field first)</h4>
<p>In progressive mode, tvtime constructs frames from pairs of fields.
Use this mode if you are using a video game from a console system which
sends a progressive signal, or are watching a film broadcast or
DVD in a PAL area. There are two modes available:</p>
<ul>
<li>Top Field First and Bottom Field first. You
must experiment with your content and see how
it is being sent, and select the appropriate
mode in tvtime to match it.
</ul>
<h4>Progressive Detection</h4>
<p>While not currently available in tvtime, this option would allow
us to detect progressive content, and whether it is top or bottom field
first, rather than manually setting this option. This would be
able to autodetect content that would be helped by using the
above progressive modes.</p>
<h4>NTSC Film Mode</h4>
<p>tvtime can detect a 2-3 pulldown sequence in the video stream and
use this information to intelligently reconstruct frames.
Enable this when watching an NTSC broadcast of a cartoon, film, or
television program shot on film. The feature can be found in the
in the input filters menu in tvtime.</p>
<p>The following is a table of the available deinterlacing modes and their
names in the config file.</p>

<h3><a name="sixteennine">3. Using widescreen 16:9 mode</a></h3>
<p>In 16:9 mode we treat the incoming signal as if it were 16:9 aspect
ratio. If you're using a hardware DVD player, you should tell it that
you have a 16:9 TV to get higher quality from your DVDs.</p>

<h3><a name="channels">5. Setting up your channel list in tvtime</a></h3>
<p>tvtime supports a channel scanner, channel renumbering, channel names,
and a list of active channels for browsing. All of these features are
available within the OSD menu system itself. Here we present some of
the details for users that wish to configure their stations
directly.</p>
<p>European users of cable providers that do not use standard frequencies
can use our channel scanner: tvtime-scanner. This outputs to the
'Custom' frequency table, selectable in the OSD menu.</p>
<h3>stationlist.xml</h3>
<p>The station listing is read in from the ~/.tvtime/stationlist.xml.
Channel settings are saved specific to norm and frequency table.
Entries in a list are in the following form:</p>
<pre>
<station name="CNN" active="1" position="18"
band="US Cable" channel="18"/>
<station name="DSF" active="1" position="12"
band="VHF E2-E12" channel="E12"/>
</pre>
<p>The possible bands and frequencies available in tvtime are:</p>

<h3>Non-English characters in channel names</h3>
<p>Since 0.9.8.2 it is possible to use non-English characters in channel
names. To do this, you first need to specify a character set for the XML
document. This is done by changing <tt><?xml version="1.0"?></tt>
to for example <tt><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?></tt>,
depending on what encoding you want. If no encoding is specified, UTF-8
is assumed.</p>
<p><b>Note 1:</b> If you want to display an <tt>&</tt> sign, you have
to type <tt>&amp;</tt> since the file is XML.</p>
<p><b>Note 2:</b> This non-English text support is not completely done yet.
First of all, it probably only work properly on left-to-right languages
which don't use any funky unicode features like combining characters.
Also, the glyphs have to be in <b>FreeSansBold.ttf</b>. This rules out asian
languages.</p>
<h3><a name="configfile">6. The tvtime.xml config file</a></h3>
<p>tvtime's config file is written as an XML document.
A <a href="default.tvtime.xml">default <b>tvtime.xml</b></a> file is installed
to <tt>/etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml</tt> and documents each of the parameters. As well, there is
a man page installed (<tt>man tvtime.xml</tt>) which also gives help for each of
the parameters. An alternate config file may be specified on the command
line using the <tt>--configfile</tt> option. Additional config files are loaded
after reading defaults from <tt>/etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml</tt> and
<tt>$HOME/.tvtime/tvtime.xml</tt>.</p>
<h3><a name="tvtimecommand">7. Controlling tvtime via tvtime-command</a></h3>
<p>Modern PCs now have many custom input devices, such as remotes, multimedia
keys, and voice recognition microphones. tvtime helps support alternate
inputs through an application called <b>tvtime-command</b>. This application
can send commands to control changing channels, adjusting volume, or navigating
the menu without having to switch focus to tvtime. This allows for many
extended features.</p>
<p>To send commands to tvtime, simply execute the <b>tvtime-command</b>
program, along with any number of commands as its arguments. The
following is a list of commands known to tvtime:</p>
<table width="90%" class="doclist">
