KaraivTV is a SuperKaramba theme that allows users to control a TV card using the ivtv family of drivers provided by ivtvdriver.org.
KaraivTV is a unique SuperKaramba theme that is specially designed for controlling a TV card, and it is powered by drivers from ivtvdriver.org. These drivers are known for having a hardware MPEG2 encoder that allows the card to output both audio and video as an MPEG2 compressed stream that can be played on any MPEG2 player or Kaffeine.
In addition to its exceptional hardware capability, this applet is also integrated with command-line utilities like ivtvctl and ivtv-tune that allow users to set the frequency and the channel from the command line. As a result, users can control the channel from one application while watching the video from another.
To use this applet, users only need to run the applet by double-clicking the download file, and then go into the config menu to choose the frequency storage engine. After that, they can enter the channel number and click the power button to start watching TV in Kaffeine.
Users can also take advantage of Kaffeine Tips, such as the "U" key for mute and the "M" key to remove menus and buttons from the screen and focus solely on the video.
To install the applet, users can save the downloaded karaivtv-0.4.skz file and double-click it. Setting channel frequencies is also very easy, as this applet offers two methods for doing so: it can read the Channel-Frequency pairs from a file or rely on ivtv-tune util for choosing the frequency.
This applet offers incredible features that cannot be found in other SuperKaramba themes. The latest version also includes custom frequency files that can be loaded directly from the config menu without unzipping or tweaking any code. Furthermore, it supports ivtv-tune for switching channels, making it more convenient for users whose regions are listed in the ivtv-tune-L. KaraivTV is an exceptional applet that any TV card owner should have.
