DFBSee project is an image viewer and video player for the Linux framebuffer that uses DirectFB.

Due to the use of hardware acceleration through DirectFB, it provides very fast and smooth zooming.

The files supported at this moment are PNG, JPEG, GIF and AVI, MPEG or a Video4Linux video device.

For video playback it is highly recommened that you use a bitdepth 16bit on your framebuffer device. Make sure that the first mode listed in /etc/fb.modes has at least 15bpp.

The man-page for dfbsee describes all available command-line options and how to use the program when it is running.

What's New in This Release:
updated for 0.9.15
suppress display of the "Loading..." message in slide-show mode
