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 0.0.51 or newer, running this version with your old .pseudotv folder should be able to migrate your existing settings and channels to the new structure. You might need to tweak the Plex and ffmpeg settings afterwards to improve performance. (Also programs added before (< 0.0.53) won't support the direct path playback feature from 0.0.53 unless you remake them).
A short list of Improvements to test:
- "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)
- 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).
- Performance and Stability fixes.
- Big UI changes to channel UI.
- Old 'commercials' feature removed. Channels including old commercials will be converted to use Flex time instead.
- DB migration to make it possible to keep channels and settings from old version even when upgrading.

New in 0.0.58-vx:
- New channel UI, removal of old commercials feature and addition DB Migration as mentioned above.
- Fix bug with concurrent streams when both streams need to use Plex transcoding.
- Fix bug with stream stopping automatically after some minutes unless ffmpeg logs are enabled.
- Fix bug with error and offline streams when ffmpeg transcoding is enabled (this situation SHOULD crash the stream, but it was giving a wrong error log).
- Default settings will have normalization enabled by default.
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.
