TVS 4.2.2-beta (12-22-2024)

[zshall]

📣 New to TVS? Watch the Quick Start on Windows tutorial to get going with a static web server. I'll be making more videos (as time permits) on setting up a full Linux server with Docker and all of the external systems that TVS can use to support live video streams and live radio, as well as configuration guides. Stay tuned!

Update Notes - 4.2.2

🐛 Bug fixes

• Fixed weather icons not loading when in a subdirectory.
• Fixed issues where a long Feed Reader title or article would push the entire page off-screen; long titles now scroll horizontally.
• Updated Nostalgist.js library to 0.11.0
• Fixed issue in Video Game engine where megadrive wasn't a supported core despite appearing in documentation. genesis and megadrive now point to the same core.
• Fixed bug where webhook wasn't fired on channel up or down events.
• Mitigated bug in YouTube Playlist engine when playing private or removed videos that would crash the player by reloading the playlist from the next video.

🧪 Experimental:

• length property added to YouTube Playlist engine to specify the number of videos in the playlist manually without needing a YouTube API key for shuffled playlists. I'm still working on trying to figure out why shuffle isn't right and may change the way this engine works in the future.

- number: 17
  name: Youtube Playlist Shuffled
  abbr: YTSFL
  youtube-playlist:
    src: PLU1WjbywtZxEGdTPm-qB0KzPGkRPw6npl
    shuffle: true # Optionally you can shuffle playlists this way. You need to specify the playlist ID above using src if you include more options.
    length: 13 # Optionally manually specify the length of the playlist so that no API key is needed to determine it.

Read this first!

Get started quickly:

• Put the files in the root directory of a web server. For now we require serving out of the root directory.
• Visit index.html and it should load the example configuration.

Basic keyboard controls:

• M toggles mute
• Up / Down control channels
• Left / Right control volume

In the browser you need to un-mute when the page loads because of autoplay restrictions.

Edit the example configuration file (config.tvs.yml) and make it your own.
