okay bestie, pull up a chair because this is the dov4l page and it's literally your new fave 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dov4l — set parameters on a video4linux device

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dov4l [options]

options: [-d device] [-f frequency] [-t tuner] [-i inputchannel] [-m mode]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So the whole thing that dov4l does? It lets you set parameters on a video4linux-device. That's it, that's the vibe. You point it at a device, you tell it what you want changed, it changes it. iconic behavior tbh ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -q — Query capabilities and settings of your video4linux device. like a vibe check for your hardware, no cap 💅
  • -h — Usage. it just tells you how to use it, bestie 🫶
  • -d device — Select device. Default is /dev/video0 ⭐
  • -f frequency — Set frequency (in Hz!). yes girl, Hz, we're being specific 🔥
  • -t tuner — Select tuner. Most of the time the default (0) suffices. she's low maintenance like that 💖
  • -i inputchannel — Select inputchannel. TV cards, for example, sometimes have a tuner and a composite video input-channel. With this parameter you can select one. To get a list of input channels, run dov4l with the -q parameter. 👑
  • -m mode — Select a mode. Mode can be: PAL, NTSC, SECAM or AUTO. pick your fighter 🌈
  • -b brightness — Set brightness. ✨

⚠️ Warning: no spaces around the ','! not even one. not even a lil one. the comma wants to be touching, iykyk 😭
