Freevo has some internal helper programs that can be started as external programs.

Helper descriptions

Basic helper usage

All helpers will be started by starting freevo with the helper name as first parameter. Using 'start' as second parameter will start the helper in background and this heper can be stopped again with 'stop' as second parameter. For some helper this makes no sense, they may also need extra parameter to do something. Most helpers define '--help' as second parameter to give a detailed help on how to use them.

Examples: 

# start the recordserver
freevo recordserver

# start the webserver in background
freevo webserver start

# stop the webserver again
freevo webserver stop

# get help on how to use the tv_grab helper
freevo tv_grab --help
