Bug Description

Binary package hint: tvtime

Ubuntu 9.04
tvtime 1.0.2-1

The man page of tvtime-command (used to send commands to a running tvtime) is outdated / incorrect.

It says it accepts MENU_LEFT and MENU_RIGHT, but those are not recognized as valid commands:

$ tvtime-command MENU_LEFT
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/jeldert/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
tvtime-command: Invalid command 'MENU_LEFT'

$ tvtime-command MENU_RIGHT
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/jeldert/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
tvtime-command: Invalid command 'MENU_RIGHT'

It seems MENU_LEFT is replaced with MENU_BACK, and MENU_RIGHT with MENU_ENTER, which are both not stated in the documentation.

Also, the SET_AUDIO_BOOST is missing is the man page.

The man pages of both tvtime and tvtime-command say: tvtime 1.0RC1.

PS. I checked the source code of tvtime where it states the valid commands (in utils.c), and the other commands are all covered correctly in the man page.
