Hello,
This version is unofficial and is intended to let people test some features I am proposing to pseudoTV
Always make a backup of your .pseudotv folder before upgrading, this way you can easily restore the folder and rollback to your current version in case the test version doesn't work for you.
If you are upgrading from 0.0.53 or older, it is recommended you start from scratch with an empty .pseudotv folder
The features to test are:
- "Flex time" . Periods of time in a channel that don't appear in the TV guide and can be used to play Bumpers, Commercials, Trailers, Prerolls and other random filler. And also a fallback video (eg: an stream offline message with a timer)
- Performance improvement: A cache that at least in my testing speeds up channel loading and switching specially when channel db is huge.
- Performance improvement: Saving a channel will remove some unused stuff from the json, this can save up to 33% of the file size.
- av1 codec support in the ffmpeg for the docker image.
- New Channel tools for shuffling, adding padding so that programs start at 0:00 or 0:30 , making the channel go offline for certain hours. Or adding breaks (using flex time).
Join the discord https://discord.com/invite/D9ckKg4 for questions and also if you need help building the docker image for this version.
New in 0.0.57-unofficial-vx:
- Fix bug with padding tool, if you didn't select the allowed time slot, it would corrupt the whole channel.
- Fix slow channel loading times in UI when the channels are large. As a result the channel editor can only display 100 programs at once, but you can use a horizontal slider to see more.
- Tweaked the Flex random algorithm again.
Windows and Linux 64 bits executables have been tested and seem to work. I am using a new build system so I am not entirely sure if Mac OS/X or 32 bits windows executables will work, if you test them and they work, please tell me so that I can remove this warning.
