xawtv started as TV application for the bttv driver, because the Motif-based "xtvscreen" was the only TV application at this time. Alot has changed since: � The xawtv and bttv driver switched over to the video4linux interface. � Support for more interfaces was added: Xvideo Extention, the new video4linux2 interface and BSD Family video grabber driver (bktr). � xawtv isn't a single application any more, it is a small suite of video4linux related software, with video recording capabilities and serveral useful command line tools. � In the future even more hardware will be supported, the current development snapshots already have DVB support for example.
Here are some key features of "XawTV":
xawtv � of course, it is still the main application, for watching TV. motv � a new, IMHO better, TV application with a Motif-based GUI. mtt � a teletext browser, also uses Motif. This one works on a terminal too. pia � a simple movie player. fbtv � is a TV application for the linux console, it uses a framebuffer devices to display the video. streamer � a command line tool for recording movies. v4lctl � a command line tool to set video4linux parameters (tune in some channel, set TV norm, ...). scantv � a command line tool to do a channel scan. radio � a simple, curses-based radio app. webcam � captures images and uploads them to a Web-Server via ftp or ssh in a endless loop. alevtd � a http server for videotext pages, so you can watch read videotext with a webbrowser. � Most of the apps share the xawtv config file (~/.xawtv).
