It's recommended you take a backup of .dizquetv or .pseudotv folder (or your docker volume) before trying a new version. Just in case so that you can revert back with no issue. dizqueTV will attempt to migrate your folder to the new version. pseudoTV users please rename the folder to .dizqueTV before running this.
Changes in 1.2.3:
Starting with 1.2.3,1.2.x are considered 'stable'. Which means that the only changes they'll receive is bug fixes. If you are looking for an edge version, check the Versions page at the wiki.
1.2.x versions brings plenty of features over 1.1.x, most of them are related to the channel editor.
Improvements
- The Channel editor has been reworked altogether.
- Tabbed interface, settings are divided in 5 categories: Properties, Programming, Flex, EPG and ffmpeg
- Tools now render in a vertical side-bar. The position (left or right) can be configured and the web interface will remember if you had the tools visible and their position. They also received visual improvements and a reorganization.
- Tool help now renders next to their buttons.
- It's now possible to configure how Flex time segments will render in the TV guide.
- The minimum length required for a program to appear in the TV guide (or else it is treated the same as flex time) can be configured.
- Channels can have their own resolution and video framerate/buffer settings , separate from the global configuration.
- New channel tool: Time Slots. It allows you to create lineups for a large quantity of days following a time-based schedule you pick for the channel's programs. TV shows can be played ordered or shuffled. The schedule can be edited after being applied. It is also available as an endpoint so that this feature can be part of automation.
- Maximum framerate setting in ffmpeg tab. It's 60 fps by default. Many TV clients don't support 60fps well, so setting it to 30 fps might help in playback.
- New channel tool that can fast-forward or rewind the channel's programming.
- Channel overlay featured renamed to Channel Watermark, its positioning and width is percentage-based by default. But the width can be set to a fixed size if you want. A different image can be used so that it doesn't have to use the same image as the channel's icon. There's an option to enable looping in animated pngs or gifs (and you can use animated pngs and gifs)
Minor
- It's now possible to add channel redirects to completely empty channels
- It also has the new favicon from 1.1.2
Changes from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3 :
- Fixed a bug with ffmpeg version information failing with some ffmpeg builds.
- Fixed the issue in which sometimes ffmpeg processes would stay open even after finishing the stream. These processes didn't use a lot of memory, but the problem would accumulate after long.
- Fixed animated watermarks causing stream freezes when switching between videos.
- The m3u file now has a CUID tag for each channel, this should help clients identify that channels are the same but where just renamed.
- Ability to select the scaling algorithm for ffmpeg, and default is bicubic instead of fast_bilinear . fast_bilinear was in use for some of the previous versions and it seems to improve encoding speed, but some people did experience a quality loss, so now the default is bicubic again but there's an option to change it.
