The upstream author of wmtv seams to have disappeared and not to take care of wmtv any more. The web page where wmtv used to be has even disappeared. So, wmtv is now fully maintained within Debian. After fixing a few bugs, features are now being added to wmtv. It is now possible to pass some parameters to the external application (declared by the -e or --exe option) through % codes: * %% is replaced by a single raw % * %n is replaced by the name of the current channel * %# is replaced by the number of the current channel * %f is replaced by the current frequency Other % codes my lead to unspecified behaviors. Hence, if you use both wmtv and xawtv, and if the channels are declared with the same names in your .wmtvrc and .xawtv, you may want to run wmtv -e 'xawtv "%n"' Then, when you double-click in wmtv's window, xawtv is run on the same channel! -- Nicolas Boullis , Mon, 18 Feb 2001 1:26:32 +0100
