Hi, I like this version a lot 8) Good Job!! Amancio >From The Desk Of Randall Hopper : > 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
