qv4l2 - A test bench application for video4linux devices
qv4l2 [-R] [-h] [-d <dev>] [-r <dev>] [-V <dev>] [-S <dev>]
The qv4l2 tool is used to test video4linux capture and output devices, either video, vbi, radio or swradio. This application can also serve as a generic video/TV viewer application or as a video generator for video output devices.
However, it does not (yet) support compressed video streams other than MJPEG
−d, −−device=<dev>
Use device <dev> as the video device. If <dev> is a number, then /dev/video<dev> is used.
−V, −−vbi-device=<dev>
Use device <dev> as the vbi device. If <dev> is a number, then /dev/vbi<dev> is used.
−r, −−radio-device=<dev>
Use device <dev> as the radio device. If <dev> is a number, then /dev/radio<dev> is used.
−S, −−sdr-device=<dev>
Use device <dev> as the SDR device. If <dev> is a number, then /dev/swradio<dev> is used.
−R, −−raw
Open device in raw mode, i.e. without using the libv4l2 wrapper functions.
−h, −−help
Prints the help message.
