Some questions about this program

What is this software for?

Zapping is a TV viewer, so displaying TV is its main goal. Nevertheless, there are a number of things that can be done to a image stream, and Zapping provides a way to do them, you just need a plug-in that fits your particular needs. If such a plug-in doesn't exist, you are encouraged to write one.

I miss feature XYZ, will it be implemented?

Probably. The sooner you ask for it, the more probabilities it will have of being included in the next release.

It doesn't work!?

It does for me ;-)
When reporting the bug check that it isn't a known one (check the file BUGS that comes with Zapping), and include as much info as possible (if there is a crash include the backtrace too). Typically the output of ./zapping -d is very useful to me.

./zapping -d 2>&1 | tee debug.log

How can I help?

The preferred way is with translations, patches and plugins. Drop me a line if you want to help.

Can you give a concise description of this program?

Zapping is a TV viewer for Gnome. It is also a convenient framework for getting and processing the image stream from the TV source (e.g. a Webcam connected to your V4L device, or the teletext from vtx devices).
