TVS 4.5.0-beta (1-26-2025)

Update Notes 4.5.0

🐛 Bug fixes:

• Image aspect ratio behavior was incorrectly called behavior and now is called aspectRatioBehavior.
• Overflow scrollbars are now hidden if content overruns the screen
• We now close an audio context when destroying it, which should help prevent issues with multiple contexts building up. Raspberry Pi 5 is confirmed to play audio better now.

✨ New features:

• New OSD tuner theme based on mid-2010's satellite TV: sat2012! Here's an example:

osd:
  theme: sat2012
  aspectRatioBehavior: stretch # Optional. The aspect ratio behavior of the screen. Values are stretch, letterbox, or hybrid. Defaults to hybrid.
  # primaryColor: red
  # accentColor: black
  themeOptions: # certain themes have additional options that can be set like this:
    # providerLogo: placeholders/no-signal.png # Optional. The provider logo to show in the info OSD. If not set the default logo will be shown. If set to false no logo will be shown.
    extraMenuItemsBefore: # Non-functional extra menu items can be added for asthetic purposes.
      - Messages
    extraMenuItemsAfter: # More non-functional menu items.

• Added a new about page to show the program version, credits, dependencies and special thanks. Press alt + v to go there.

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.
