sbtlTV 0.11.1

Changed

  • Linux player settings have their own page - Settings > System > Video Player (moved from Security).

Added

  • Performance mode on Linux - lighter video scaling and no blur behind the controls, for machines whose in-window player drops frames.
  • mpv stats overlay on Linux - press I to show decoder and dropped-frame statistics on the video, Shift+I to keep them on screen.

Improved

  • Smoother in-window playback on Linux - frames are shown on a steady clock instead of the moment they arrive, with audio kept in sync.
  • Less work while playing - position updates no longer re-render the whole interface, which caused jitter on slower machines.

Fixed

  • Movie and series library never synced for some providers - one entry without a name no longer fails the whole sync.
  • A stall every two seconds in the in-window player on macOS and Linux.
  • Widescreen SD channels played small on Linux.
  • Play/pause button could show the wrong state with the compatibility player and on Windows.
  • Ctrl, Alt and Cmd shortcuts also triggered player keys (for example Ctrl+F toggled fullscreen).
  • Green frames with Intel hardware decoding on Linux.
  • Black and dropped frames with NVIDIA on Linux.
  • Red error banners for decoder errors that recover on their own (Linux).
  • Settings controls that ignored the mouse on Linux.
  • Restart in Compatibility Mode did nothing in the Linux AppImage.
  • F and F11 only maximized the window on Linux - they now enter real fullscreen.

Known issues

  • Memory use grows during long in-window playback on macOS and Linux - quitting and reopening sbtlTV frees it; a fix is planned.
  • Widescreen SD channels still play small on macOS.

What's Changed

  • Linux 0.11.1: keep zero-copy VA-API on live joins, quiet transient errors, AppImage relaunch, real fullscreen, stats overlay by @thesubtleties in #110
  • Release 0.11.1 by @thesubtleties in #111
