v0.0.59-vx
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 0.0.59-vx:**
- Identical to 0.0.58, but had to make another release because the files uploaded as 58 were not all correct and git tags are permanent.
- 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.

v0.0.57-unofficial-vx
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).

**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.

Changes from 0.0.55-unofficial-vx (Released July 28-th):
- TV guide will no longer have empty holes where Flex times were programmed. Instead the previous program will be extended. OR the channel's name will be used if the Flex time is longer than 30 minutes. This is to fix some problems that arise in some clients with empty TV guide spaces.
- New padding options that allow programs to start 5 minutes later than the usual start slot to account for a previous program that was too long (For example, if you are trying to have all programs start at :00 or :30, and there's a program that lasts 32 minutes, the next program can start at :35 )
- "Equalize Shows" renamed to "Balance Shows".
- New tool: Weight TV Shows : This allows you to control the total proportion of time dedicated to each TV show in your channel, so that you can make some more or less frequent.
- Tweaks to random filler algorithm.
