Release Notes

Fixed

• Fix bug where tail or fallback filler would sometimes schedule much longer than expected
  • This only happened with fixed start schedule items following a schedule item with tail or fallback filler
• Fix NFO reader bug that caused inaccurate warning messages about invalid XML and incomplete metadata
• Fix reverse proxy SSL termination support by supporting X-Forwarded-Proto header
• Fix automatic playout reset scheduling
  • Playouts would reset every 30 minutes between midnight and the configured time, instead of only at the configured time
• XMLTV: properly group schedule items with Custom Title followed by item(s) with Guide Mode set to Filler

Added

• Add music video credits template system
  • Templates are selected in each channel's settings
  • Templates should be copied from _default.ass.sbntxt which is located in the config subfolder templates/music-video-credits
    • Copy the file, give it any name ending with .ass.sbntext, and only make edits to the copied file
  • The default template will be extracted and overwritten every time ErsatzTV is started
  • The template is an Advanced SubStation Alpha file using scribian template syntax
  • The following fields are available for use in the template:
    • resolution: the ffmpeg profile's resolution, which is used for margin calculations
    • title: the title of the music video
    • track: the music video's track number
    • album: the music video's album
    • plot: the music video's plot
    • release_date: the music video's release date
    • artist: the music videos artist (the parent folder)
    • all_artists: a list of additional artists from the music video's sidecar NFO metadata file
    • duration: the timespan duration of the music video, which can be used to calculate timing of additional subtitles
    • stream_seek: the timespan that ffmpeg will seek into the media item before beginning playback
• Add Multi-Episode Shuffle playout order for Television Show schedule items
  • The purpose of this playout order is to improve randomization for shows that normally have intro, multiple episodes, and outro
  • This playout order requires splitting the parts into individual files (e.g. splitting s01e01-03.mkv into s01e01.mkv, s01e02.mkv and s01e03.mkv)
  • This playout order requires a lua script in the config subfolder scripts/multi-episode-shuffle
  • The lua script should be named for the television show's guid, e.g. tvdb_12345.lua or imdb_tt123456789.lua
  • The script defines the number of parts that each un-split file typically contains
  • The script also defines a function to map each episode to a part number (or no part number i.e. nil if an episode has not been split)
  • All groups of part numbers (i.e. all part 1s, all part 2s) will be shuffled
  • The playout order will then schedule a random part 1 followed by a random part 2, etc
    • Un-split (nil) episodes will be randomly placed between re-combined parts (e.g. part1, part2, part3, un-split, part1, part2, part3)
• Add ETV_BASE_URL environment variable to support reverse proxies that use paths (e.g. /ersatztv)

Changed

• No longer place watermarks within content by default (e.g. within 4:3 content padded to a 16:9 resolution)
  • This can be re-enabled if desired using the Place Within Source Content checkbox in watermark settings
