For the latest changes in svn, please see: http://code.google.com/p/streambaby/source/browse/trunk/main/changelog.txt

V0.25

• Force transcoding of MP4's if profile > High or Level > 41
• Internal reorg-- Get icon for display from parsed file type (folder, video, dvd, etc)
• Changed re-interleaving code to work based on DTS (decoding time stamp) rather than PTS (presentation time stamp)
• pytivo-html.xsl supports image : tag with URL to image to use in metadata
• Internal changes to possibly support another MP4 pseudo-streaming module
• added config option hme.res to set hme resolution to use
• Added Yoav's patches to add HD support
• Force transcode if audio is not 44100k or 48000k
• When transcoding force sample rate of 44100k or 48000k
• Change default to HD
• Change default xsl for pytivo metadata to HTML version

V0.24

• Added stack trace printout to Listener when catching uncaught exceptions
• disabled using ffmpeg to gather metadata.
• new config: meta.vidinfo.disable=true set to false to re-enable ffmpeg gathering of metadata

• Added more exception handling to mp4 metadata parsing code

V.023beta

• Attempt to fix ffmpeg crashes in av_close_input_file (function frees structure, but JNA attempts to read it back after call completes)
• Change method of parsing title for pyTivo & tivo XML files
• Fixed bug causing crashes if dir.x did not exit (in cache cleanup code)
• Optimized & fixed bugs in mp4 metadata reading

V0.22beta

• Changed default for quality.2channel to zero, effectively disabling it. Newer ffmpeg doesn't like to do this for 5.1 aac -> 2 channel ac3
• Added support for new ffmpeg, AVStream->sample_aspect_ratio
• Added 3gp, mov to supported extension
• Undid previous mp4 changes to skip reinterleave under certain circumstances.
• Added metadata parsing. Metadata is displayed on "Play" screen and when pressing the info button while playing
• Metadata is looked for in the form "filename.mpg.xxx" where xxx the metadata extension.
• Metadata is looked for in the same directory of the video file, or in a subdirectory of the directory where the main file is called .meta
• Metadata supported:
• .txt files- Either a pyTivo metadata file or a standard txt file (autodetected)
• .html
• .xml
• .gif, .png, .jpg: Use as straight images. New config property info.preserveaspect=true to control if img is allowed to be stretched
• Metadata is transformed using XSL into either straight txt or html (either is OK)
• new INI options: xsl.pytivo= and xsl.txt=
• Points to the xslt file to use to transform the respective formats. Can be chained (so xsl.pytivo=pytivo.xsl,pretty.xsl would apply both xsl stylesheets)
• For pytivo the xml fed in is each "key" (value before the colon) is an element, and the text for that key is the text for the element (as cdata).
• Whole file is wrapped in

  <pytivo>

  </pytivo>

• For txt the xml is the whole text file wrapped in

  <txt>

  </txt>

  (as cdata)
• For XML metadata, a config entry is looked for in the form xsl.xxxx where xxx is the name of root element of the xml file
• this is the config entry to determine the XSLT chain to use for this type of XML
• For tivo this is tvbusenvelope, so the config entry is xsl.tvbusenvelope, and the default is tivo-pyxml.xsl,pytivo-text.xsl (so convert to pytivo xml format, then use pytivo XSL to convert to streambaby format)
• If the above config entry is not found, stylesheets/xxxx.xsl is looked for to use (where xxxxx is the name of the root element)
• There are two supplied default stylesheets for pytivo (and thus for tivo xml format als)
• pytivo-text.xsl: Transforms the metadata into pure text for display. Text looks nice.
• pytivo-html.xsl: Transforms the metadata into HTML for display. Font's can look a bit rough, but more flexible.
• the default is pytivo-text.xsl
• metadata is also read from MP4 files into xml in the format

  <meta>

  <tag>

  xxx

  </tag>

  <tag>

  xxx

  </tag>

  </meta>

• xsl.meta determines the XSL to use. Default=meta-html.xsl. meta-text.xsl is also available
• Supports artwork, which is why meta-html is the default
• mp4 metadata processing can be turned off with meta.mp4.disable=true
• config entry use.title.cachedonly= (default true), only use metadata for titles if the metadata has already been processed and cached
• Pressing the enter key on selection screen causes streambaby to try and cache all metadata for the directory.
• INI entry use.title= (default true) to use the title from the metadata instead of filename for listings
• INI entry sort.filename= (default false). If true, streambaby will sort entries in the selection screen by filename instead of metadata title
• If set to false, tivo use metadata title for sort.
• Sorting by metadata title causes a longer delay (could be very long if there are alot of movies in the directory) before rendering the selection screen if set to false
• Switch to current jmdns from sourceforge
• Required changes to build process, removal of simulator.jar from main dist, addition of hme-host-sb.jar
• JmDNS shutdown hook is broken (always hangs). Hack to remove the shutdown hook
• Added HTML rendering code for Cobra (from lobo project), flyingsaucer xhtmlrenderer, and HTMLEditKit (built-in to java)
• Can set the render by setting html.renderer= in the INI file
• com.unwiredappeal.tivo.html.cobra.CobraRenderer for cobra (default)
• com.unwiredappeal.tivo.html.htmlkit.HtmlKitRenderer
• New INI option, info.tidy (default: true) which runs jtidy on all HTML input before passing to renderer
• New INI option, info.tidy.xhtml (default: true) which tells tidy to generate xhtml output.
• New INI option html.css to set default css for html rendering. relative to stylesheets directory (or abs)
• default=streambaby.css, which doesn't exist by default (and so won't be loaded)
• Added new location to look for streambaby.ini. ${user.home}/.streambaby/streambaby.ini
• Fixed config loading to look for streambaby.ini in ${user.home} (was ${user.dir}, which was incorrect)
• Added coded from moyekj for support SRT files for closed captioning/subtitles.
• If movie name is movie.mpg, subtitles should be in movie.srt
• Added new config options cc.mintime, and cc.minchartime
• both are in milliseconds and control the minimum time a CC is displayed on the screen (unless it needs to be erased to display another one)
• added new INI cc.fontsize to configure fontsize for CC. default=20
• Aspect button currently turns CC on/off. It is ON by default if a SRT file exists.

V0.20beta

• Added initial support for .tivo files
• Thanks to work by davidblackledge & wmcbrine
• Due to streaming bandwidth issues, tivo may have a hard time keeping up.
• No support for random positioning within a .tivo file-- Must always start from the beginning.
• Because of the above, there is no support for rebuffering at 1.1G point (and .tivo files are usually large)
• Due to all of the above, streaming .tivo files is not really that useful ;-)
• Fixed audio channels parsing support for ffmpegexe
• Modified MP4 streaming code to not interleave if initial audio/video chunks are with 4 megabytes of each other.
• If MP4 pseudo-streaming can't perform the correct positioning, try again at beginning
• This usually happens at the beginning of a file anyway
• Drop -ac parameter from default for ffmpegexe transcode
• Moved all assets (icons/images) into asset directory
• Changed icon theme. Icons are searched in assets directory
• Added icon/bkg config options icon.icon=, icon.folder=, icon.movie=
• Files are relative to the assets directory
• Added new config option ignore.dotfiles. Set to false if you want files/folders with a dot included
• Added new config option remember.password. Set to false to not remember password from session to session
• Added support for testing-- ".raw" files
• Will stream to tivo without any processing
• Assumes video/mpeg for mimeType and Content-Type by default
• if file videofile.raw.fmt exists, the first line is taken as the mime type to use, and the second as the Content-Type
• Support for EDL file cutlists. Looks for movie.ext.edl (so movie.mpg.edl for example)
• TiVo doesn't seem to really like jumping around in MP4's too much. Not sure how good this will work for MP4
• MPG seems better, but I still am not sure how accurate the timings are.
• cut.startoffset, cut.endoffset can be used to adjust the timings in milliseconds. Defaults are 0
• startoffset will wait this long after seeing a cut point to jump
• endoffset will jump this many milliseconds before the cut point says the end should be
• Changed default port to 7290
• Changed IDLE/timeout code, thanks to wmcbrine
• Added support for different transcoding qualities. If a quality other than SAME is chosen, it may force transcoding.
• Added FLV container support, and changed defaults for ffmpeg preview/transcode to try and work with all containers (*)
• Added config option to skip top-level folders screen if there is only one accessible directory (toplevel.skip=true)
• Streambaby looks for property streambaby.dir and uses that as the rootdir for streambaby if set
• Can be used (for instance) in galleon wrapper.conf file to set where streambabby looks for files
• Also Added config option streambaby.dir to set up where the streambaby directory is. Also changed the way native path is initialized.
• When transcoding, find the closest allowable mpeg frame rate.

V0.19

• Added MKV to default list of extensions to scan
• Catch NumberFormatExceptions and return default values while trying to parse ffmpeg output
• cahoon/KG: Fix off-by-one issue (causing ArrayIndexOutOfbounds) in MP4 psuedo-streaming
• Changed preview cache cleanup code to work faster/use less memory & deal with recursive symlinks
• Added additional debugging for loading of native ffmpeg libraries
• Fixed bug where saved bookmark position ended up negative (caused Play/Replay screen to not have correct text positioning)
• TiVo doesn't seem to report correct duration for MP4's (always seems to report ~8secs less).
• Added code to work-around by using my own calculated duration if I receive RSRC_EVENT_COMPLETE from tivo and its duration is shorter than expected
• Still some weirdness around end of MP4s-- Shuttle bar will stop moving around 8 seconds before end...
• Fixed centering of shuttlebar -- Also made it wider while I was at it.

V0.18

• Made changes to compile under JDK1.5, and marked as JDK1.5 compatible
• Added ability to gather video information (length/type/etc) without ffmpeg, enabling running without ffmpeg installed (but minus some features)
• Ignore files/directories that begin with a dot (.)
• Added liba52 as synonym for AC3 in ffmpegexe module
• Added hints for the list, so you can visually see if there are more entries than fit on the screen
• Advance key moves back and from bottom to top of list in selection view
• Fixed issue with ffmpeg native integration where libavcodec was V51, and libavformat was V52 (used to assume major versions would be equal)
• NOTE: FFmpeg revisions r10939-r11109 (Nov 7 2007 - Nov 28 2007) will not work, and will also not report any errors.
• Implement new codec detection code for ffmpegjava video module, should have less problems detecting which codecs are in use.
