Code:
These are the release notes for the neumoteam 3.1.0 image. It has been
a very long time since the last release. This is because much of the
internal code has been completely rewritten, specifically:
-channel changing
-recording, timeshift and trick play
-handling of popups
In addition many bugs have been fixed (see below).
Some important changes have not yet been implemented, such as
the handling of channel lists, and channel search but these will be
handled in a next release.
Be aware that some features that may be important to you, have been
(temporarily) removed or do not work. Please read the "Remaining issues"
list below before installing. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Also be aware that given the size of the changes, some undiscovered bugs
may still come to light. Also some bugs which are listed as "fixed" below
may have reappeared in the mean time.
The image should be considered beta-quality.
GUI changes
-------------------------------------------------
I. The banner type "full" now works differently than before.
It shows the currently playing program and the currently
viewed program (which may be different in timeshift mode).
I. The left and right buttons no longer show the names of previous and
next programs. They now implement timeshift functions: jumping forward and
backward in time by a fixed amount.
The Pg/up and Pg/down buttons can be used to change
the amount of time for this jump.
The "long" (press and hold) keys <<< and ****>, which used to jump forward
or backward in time have been removed. You can use the left and right
buttons instead. The reason for this change is that releasing
the <<< and ****> right keys at the correct time was too difficult and also
the <<< and ****> buttons are too small to easily find them in the dark
I. Epg data can now also be displayed in timeshift mode.
I. Live recording now works differently: a list of programs
covering the live buffer pops up. The user can select
which programs to record.
I. The list of recordings is now hierarchical: if you create subfolders
within /var/media/video and /var/media/radio and store recordings in
there, you will see the subfolders in the file list. There is currenly
no GUI support for creating folders and moving files into other folders.
B. Text appeared in the preview window in channel list. When "display program
name in channel list" option is on and the channel name is very long,
the program name exte *** into the live video window and corrupts the
display when scrolling.
B. Improved layout of help messages in favorite list. Icons are now all shown.
B. Many cosmetic changes turbokongen: some images have been changed.
I. Added Norwegian translations by turbokongen.
B. Help messages (wuth help by turbokongen). The help message buttons no
longer overlap with separator lines. The help messages for the virtual
keyboard have been fixed. The help images now correctly appear
in the lnb and usals menus.
B. radio background missing.
B. entering new pincode in "change password" dialog fails.
I. Make RCL key work in Program List mode.
I. Improved layout of the channel search window and the usals menu.
I. Indicate polarisation in frequency list in the "lnb setting"
and "channel search" windows.
I. Improved header of channel list (avoid overlapping text).
I. Sort satellites by position in channel search.
In case many satellites are available, sorting the channels
by position makes them easier to find.
B. In channel search, the right key did not work the first time.
I. More logical ordering of satellites in channel list popup.
B. Font data corruption due to non-thread-sage fonts/api.c
This problem occurred, e.g., when displaying the positioner
message simultaneously with another screen.
I. More information about the live channel is now displaued
in live banner.Thanks neumoteam
