It captures a given set of dvb channels from one dvb device and provides the streams via minimal http\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .sp The following options can be passed to the \fBgstdvbbackend\fR daemon: .PP \fB\-D, \-\-nodaemonize\fR .RS 4 This option instructs \fBgstdvbbackend\fR to run in foreground instead of becoming a daemon which is the default\&. .RE .PP \fB\-u, \-\-username \fR .RS 4 run as this user\&. If no group is specified (\fB\-g\fR) the default group of the user is used\&. The default is to not drop privileges\&. .RE .PP \fB\-g, \-\-groupname \fR .RS 4 run as this group\&. If no username is specified (\fB\-u\fR) this gets ignored\&. The default is to not drop privileges\&. .RE .PP \fB\-C, \-\-chroot \fR .RS 4 Instruct \fBgstdvbbackend\fR to run in a chroot jail\&. The default is to not run in chroot\&. .RE .PP \fB\-P, \-\-write\-pid \fR .RS 4 Instruct \fBgstdvbbackend\fR to write it\(cqs pid to this file\&. The default is to not create a pid file\&. .RE .PP \fB\-L, \-\-log :[,[,[\&.\&.]]]\fR .RS 4 add log target to logging system\&. This can be invoked several times in order to log to different targets at the same time\&. Every target has its own log level which is a number between 0 and 5\&. Where 0 means disabling log and 5 means debug messages are enabled\&. The file target can be used more than once with different levels\&. If no target is provided at the command line a single target with the config \fBsyslog:3,gstdvbbackend,daemon\fR is added\&. The following targets are supported: .PP \fBsyslog\fR .RS 4 log to syslog daemon, parameters [,[,]] .RE .PP \fBfile\fR .RS 4 log to file, parameters [,] .RE .PP \fBstdout\fR .RS 4 log to standard output, parameters .RE .PP \fBstderr\fR .RS 4 log to standard error, parameters .RE .RE .PP \fB\-U, \-\-debug\fR .RS 4 This option instructs \fBgstdvbbackend\fR to run in debug mode\&. It implicits \fB\-D\fR (don\(cqt daemonize) and adds a log target with the configuration \fBstdout:5\fR (logging with maximum level)\&. In future releases there might be additional output when this option is supplied\&. .RE .SH "BUGS" .sp Most likely there are some bugs in \fBgstdvbbackend\fR\&. If you find a bug, please let the developers know at equinox@spreadspace\&.org\&. Of course, patches are preferred\&. .SH "SEE ALSO" .sp \fBgst\-launch\fR(1) .SH "AUTHORS" .sp Christian Pointner .SH "RESOURCES" .sp Project Page: http://www\&.spreadspace\&.org/gstdvbbackend .SH "COPYING" .sp Copyright (C) 2011\-2016 Christian Pointner\&.
