Mailing List Archive

Hi,

lot's of things have changed since I wrote my last message to this
mailing list. TV-Viewer has now about 150 - 200 Users from all over the
world :).

I've released a new version 0.7.7b1 which introduces a lot of new features.

Bugfixes:

* Translation issues.
* The scheduler produced an error when the video device is already in use.
* Minor things in the code.

New features:

* Now using frequencies instead channels. This will allow you to use
finetuning.
* Automatic station search no longer depends on scantv or a working VBI
device node. Now all users should be able to use it.
* Update-Daemon is now a News-Reader.
* Videocard control options (Hue, saturation...) and video standard
(Pal, secam, ntsc) will only be changed if necessary.
* Splash screen.

In fact I've changed hundred of lines of code. Not all changes are
visible to the user, but it should be worth to upgrade. Note that
TV-Viewer now depends on Tcl/Tk version 8.5 or higher. If this version
is not provided by your distribution you may use ActiveTcl from ActiveState.
These new features are a preparatory work for version 0.8.x.
Normaly BETA versions are only announced on the website and with the
News-Reader of TV-Viewer. As this version brings lot's of changes I will
announce it the same way as always.

See the download section on how to get this version.
http://home.arcor.de/saedelaere/download_eng.html

It woul be interesting if my little Program works with tv-cards like
hvr-1500/1600.
So if there's someone out there willing to try analogue tv with
tv-viewer, let me know if it works.

Bet Regards
Christian

New stable release 0.7.7

After a long beta period, with five beta versions, it is time for the
next stable release.
Many things have been changed since 0.7.6.2 Please note the bugfixes and
new features mentioned below refer to version 0.7.6.2 and not to the
last beta.

Bugfixes:

* Removed some mistakes and crudities in the text passages.
* The scheduler produced an error if the video device node was already
in use and did not try again to finish the job.
* Minor things in the source code.

New Features:

* Now using frequencies instead channels. This will allow you to use
finetuning.
* Automatic station search no longer depends on scantv or a working VBI
device node. Now all users should be able to use it.
* Update-Daemon is now a News-Reader.
* Videocard control options (Hue, saturation...) and video standard
(Pal, secam, ntsc) will only be changed if necessary.
* Splash screen.
* You may now dock TV-Viewer into the system tray (Does not work on Ubuntu).
* Added an entry field to the Station-Editor. It may be used to get the
frequency of a specific channel.
* The record wizard is now able to parse output files with blancs.

If you want to have a more detailed overview of what has changed since
0.7.6.2, have a look at the changelog.
you can download the new version on the homepage.
http://home.arcor.de/saedelaere/download_eng.html

Please note, that some system requirements have been changed!
Older configuration files and station files (< 0.7.7b1) will no longer
work with this release. Create a new configuration with the
"Configuration-Wizard". Use the "stations-editor" (Options --> convert
stations) to convert old station files to the new format.

With this release I'am finishing the 0.7.x development branch. Only if
there will be grave bugs i will make a bugfix release.
The planning for 0.8.x is mostly completed. So it is quite sure what
will be included in the development branch and how to implent them.
Nevertheless most of the code has still to be written. I'am looking
forward to release a first alpha version within the next weeks.

Enjoy the new version

Hi,

today i'am releasing the new stable version 0.8.1
http://home.arcor.de/saedelaere/download_eng.html
after one year of development with several alpha and beta versions.
During this period of time TV-Viewer evolved from a simple Gui, able to
change stations, to a stand-alone TV Application. The most important
features are listed here
http://home.arcor.de/saedelaere/info_eng.html#Features:
and please note the screenshots.

An important hint for all users of TV-Viewer < 0.8.1a1. Please delete
the configuration directory "~/.tv-viewer" und create a new stations
list and check the configuration before you install the new version.
Otherwise problems can be expected.

As always if you find errors or you have something else on your mind,
please contact me.

It would be nice to get some feedback from the developers of ivtv :D

Best regards
Christian
