This is the tuning and full-screen surfing pleasure version. Just put it
up for grabs on the web site:
http://multiverse.com/~rhh/fxtv
HIGHLIGHTS:
Video Window Annotation for changes in Station, Input Device, Tuner Mode,
Volume, and Mute should make it more enjoyable to surf when zoomed
full-screen.
Station IDs will let the PAL (and NTSC) folks come up with their own names
for stations (e.g. E1, ITH, FOX, CBS). You can map these IDs to channel
numbers or frequencies. Channel number lists are now obsoleted by
the more general station lists. (NOTE: See README sections 1.6.1-1.6.2)
Video window translations added for changing station (via ID, channel
number, or frequency). Should make full-screen surfing of cable or
satellite simpler.
Japanese cable support from (Hideyuki Suzuki), and Dynamic Input Format
Selection (Joao Carlos Mendes Luis).
And Direct Video enhancements for moving and stacking the TV window on
your desktop. Now when you lower the video window behind another window,
Fxtv will continue to blast (using XImages) rather than just turn off.
Also, unlike previous versions, Fxtv shouldn't leave any video trash on
your desktop after you move it in direct video mode. Note that if you have
opaque moves on in your window manager, you'll of course see video stream
trails "while" you're moving the Fxtv window, but after you let go, the
desktop will be entirely cleaned up. Fxtv also won't stomp on occluding
windows anymore.
Hope you have fun with it, and let me know if you have any problems.
Randall
