used by the OpenGL driver.

only A52 and DTS).

Set postprocessing (to remove compression artifacts). 0 means no
postprocessing, 1 means maximum postprocessing.

Try RTP over TCP
Use this if your filewall blocks all UDP traffic. Not all servers
support TCP
Port base for RTP
Port base for RTP over UDP. Values of 1024 or smaller enable random
ports (recommended for RTSP aware firewalls). Values larger than 1024
define the base port. 2 consecutive ports are used for each A/V stream,
these must be accessible through the firewall. Odd values are rounded to
the next even value.
Login as anonymous
Anonymous ftp password
Supported strings: never video always
Default: never
Seek external subtitles
If the input is a regular file, gmerlin_avdecoder can scan the directory
for matching subtitle files. For a file movie.mpg, possible subtitle
files are e.g. movie_english.srt, movie_german.srt. The rule is, that
the first part of the filename of the subtitle file must be equal to the
movie filename up to the extension. Furthermore, the subtitle filename
must have an extension supported by any of the subtitle readers.
Subtitle seeking can be disabled, enabled for video files or enabled for
all files.
Default subtitle encoding
This sets the default encoding for text subtitles,when the original
encoding is unknown. It must be a character set namerecognized by iconv.
Type ’iconv -l’ at the commandline for a list of supported encodings.
Supported strings: never always when_necessary
Default: never
Sample accurate
Try sample accurate seeking. For most formats, this is not necessary,
since normal seeking works fine. Some formats are only seekable in
sample accurate mode. Choose "When necessary" to enable seeking for most
formats with the smallest overhead.
Cache time (milliseconds)
If building an index takes longer than the specified time, it will be
cached.
Cache size (Megabytes)
Set the maximum total size of the cache directory.

Use locally saved metadata
Whenever we obtain CD metadata from the internet, we save them into
$HOME/.gmerlin/cdaudio_metadata. If you got wrong metadata for a CD,
disabling this option will retrieve the metadata again and overwrite the
saved data.

boundaries is performed. It can wedge if errors occur in the attempted
overlap area. Not recommended.

only A52 and DTS).

Default: none
Force sampleformat
Force a sampleformat to be used for processing. None means to take the input
format.
Conversion Quality
Set the conversion quality for format conversions. Lower quality means more
speed. Values above 3 enable slow high quality calculations.
Supported strings: auto none rect tri shaped
Default: auto
Dither mode
Dither mode. Auto means to use the quality level. Subsequent options are
ordered by increasing quality (i.e. decreasing speed).

If disabled, the output samplerate is taken from the source. If enabled, the
samplerate you specify below us used.

restart
Set generic input options
Still image repitition rate
