New Features & Improvements

  • Cinematic Broadcast Deinterlacing: Implemented native YADIF deinterlacing across all raw TS streams and Time-Shift buffers. This completely eliminates the jagged "comb" artifacts commonly seen during fast motion on 1080i broadcast channels (such as CBS and NBC), bringing Feral HTPC's visual quality to parity with the official desktop VLC application.
  • Progressive FFmpeg Proxy: Upgraded the local FFmpeg transcoding pipeline to actively blend and deinterlace (-vf yadif) native 1080i streams before encoding. This ensures a pristine, progressive video feed is delivered to the player when "Force Local Transcode" is enabled.
  • Persistent Visual Quality: Engineered the Live TV seeking mechanism to dynamically preserve all deinterlacing and clock-sync overrides. Video quality and audio sync now remain perfectly intact even after scrubbing, rewinding, or fast-forwarding the timeline.

Bug Fixes

  • Dynamic Audio Routing Scope: Resolved an internal compiler error in the playback initialization pipeline where the dynamic audio codec variable dropped out of scope before the proxy could execute.

hmmm...i cant for the life of me get the GUI version the export that same detailed report. its a lot more abbreviated.

Im using the exact same version of the GUI and CLI.

weird.

The default of the GUI txt output is decided by some template. I forget how to modify that and just use the CLI version if I need more info.

Deinterlacing on FFmpeg recode looks great.

1 Like

yeah, look like ill have to keep the CLI version around. I use the GUI version fairly frequently,

i suppose i should go read the wiki, but im too lazy...

I will work on the guide formatting in the coming days.

Does adding extra padding and margin help any?

Or this one with less margin but better padding:

Better padding. Less margin
Having too much space between things looks weird and a bit too wasteful.

[1.0.5-beta]

New Features & Improvements

  • Ultimate Playback Resiliency: Implemented "Super-Nuclear" stream overrides for all direct-play channels. By injecting low-level vlcrc flags (:ts-cc-check=0, :drop-late-frames=0, :skip-frames=0), Feral HTPC now completely ignores broken packet sequence counters and aggressive timeline discontinuities. This guarantees perfectly smooth, stutter-free playback on heavily fragmented internet streams like Pluto TV and TVE, as well as corrupted OTA broadcasts.
  • Modernized Guide UI: Improved the visual hierarchy and readability of the Live TV Guide. Expanded the internal padding of the show blocks, giving the text much-needed breathing room without breaking the synchronized dual-pane scrolling.

Definitely an improvement for guide spacing.

I still think a mode to just have Show Name, Show Title, like CDVR web UI does, instead of Show name -Ep title, description, would be welcome.

The font size and over all size of the Guide is just too small for me to be able to read the description text, unless i get a few inches away from my monitor.
Mentioned while back, i am on a 1440P monitor, and the programs scaling is not great.
(Windows 11 Display settings are set to 100% scale(Recommended). If i set higher than that, it makes most other programs too large)

Ultimate Playback Resiliency....hahahaha

It's called wishful thinking. I am testing adding VLC tweaks to improve playback. I don't want to throw everything at it incl case it causes unintentional issues.

yikes, the 25.1 sound issue is now worse without ffmpeg transcoding...

still fine with transcoding...

I thought you did not have sound before without transcoding. Are you saying you did have audio without transcoding? If so what was it doing?

i always had sound without transcoding, just 25.1 was messed up. still is, now worse.

originally when you added transcoding i didn't have any sound other than on 2.1 (PBS) with it on.

You subsequently fixed the transcode, so now everything is perfectly fine with transcode including 25.1.

By messed up, what do you mean? I was working under the impression that you had no sound on 25.1

miscommunication apparently.

I always had sound on all the stations (beofre transcode was available) it was jussed messed up on 25.1.

Like a modem negotiation audio bursts (if you are old enough to remember those) in the background interrupting the audio stream a couple times a second.
