% L dtas user manual =head1 NAME dtas-console - rudimentary curses console client for dtas-player =head1 SYNOPSIS dtas-console =head1 DESCRIPTION dtas-console displays the elapsed decoder time of the track, which can be used as an approximation of the current playback time of a track. It cannot display an accurate playback time due to variable buffering in the sinks and pipes. See L for a detailed description of the protocol. =head1 KEYBOARD CONTROL Key bindings are inspired partially by L =over =item 'j'/'k' - seek backward/forward 5 seconds =item LEFT/RIGHT - seek backward/forward 10 seconds =item UP/DOWN - seek forward/backward 1 minute =item PGUP/PGDWN - seek forward/backward 10 minutes =item SPACE - toggle play/pause state of the playback =item 'p'/'P' - decrease/increase timer resolution =item BACKSPACE - seek to the beginning of the track =item 7/8 - decrease/increase ReplayGain preamp =item 9/0 - decrease/increase software volume =item '=' - set software volume to 1.0 (no adjustment) =item 'm' - mute set software volume to 0.0 (mute) =item 'f'/'F' - decrease/increase ReplayGain fallback_gain value =item 'r'/'R' - cycle forward/backwards through ReplayGain modes =item 'q'/Ctrl-C - exit dtas-console =item 'o' - toggle display between HH:MM:SS and absolute seconds =back =head1 ENVIRONMENT DTAS_PLAYER_SOCK - the path to the dtas-player control socket. This defaults to ~/.dtas/player.sock =head1 CAVEATS Increasing timer resolution increases the number of CPU wakeups and power consumption. This defeats the efforts of dtas-player configurations which use large buffers (especially in the sink) to reduce wakeups and power consumption. In rare cases (or poorly-configured systems), increased wakeups from dtas-console will also increase contention with the sound card, negatively affecting audio quality even if CPU utilization is not a problem. =head1 CONTACT All feedback welcome via plain-text mail to: L Mailing list archives available at L and L No subscription is necessary to post to the mailing list. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2013-2016 all contributors L License: GPL-3.0+ L =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, L
