DATV Easy 2.17 First duplex DATV codec H266

    Hi,


    uploaded new version, DATV-NotSoEasy V0.8


    Releasenotes:

    -Codec AV1 prepared

    -Now support for software encoding H.264/H.265 (libx264, libx265)!!! Tested up to 1500KS.

    -Better audio-codec, sounds much better now at low SR`s and is now adjustable in global configuration

    -Parameters adjusted, H.264/H.265/H.266 more stable @ higher SR`s and cutting szenes, tested up to 1000KS FEC 1/2, no drops anymore.

    -No need to switch on REMUX (DVB-Comp.) for H.264/H.265 @ high SR`s on Pluto anymore, stream is now ok.

    -2nd script to start MPV-Player.

    -Service-ID/Program/Provider adjusted, now correct displayed.

    -New versions of ffplay and ffmpeg.

    -Added AC3 audio

    -Implementation of 8PSK and 16APSK, more flexible

    -Implementation of lower SR`s

    -Decreased the delay of H.264/H.265 and espacialy H.266@250KS and above, abt 6sec now (half the time as before)

    -Added audio synchronization

    Hi,


    DATV-NotSoEasy V0.92 is now available.


    Release notes:

    0.92

    -DATV-NotSoEasy now accepts streams via network (UDP,RTMP), stream input can be defined in config.ini

    -DATV-NotSoEasy now can directly play from files (mp3, mp4, and many more)

    -Implemented 3 profiles for fast start (start SET-FAVORITE.bat to edit the profiles).

    -Improved stability for H.266

    -PTT function, press Pause/Break to stop streaming, press enter to resume. This toggles TX ON/OFF. Be shure to focus the window of DATV-NotSoEasy.

    -Changed the default video device to "OBS Virtual Camera", this works with OBS 28 and higher, for OBS 27 with VC plugin try "OBS-Camera"

    -Increased quality, stability and performance at higher FPS, tested up to 60FPS

    -Adjusted selectable FPS to match OBS FPS, this minimizes the effect of duplicate frames and drops. Best is to set FPS in OBS to match selected FPS in DATV-NotSoEasy.

    This is not mandatory but it works best.

    -Modified settings for 35KS

    -Updated documentation with screenshots, now in a seperate "Documentation" folder

    Hi,


    DATV-NotSoEasy 0.95 is available.


    Release notes:


    0.95

    -Just a hint: Always quit DATV-NotSoEasy by pressing "q", not only close the window. Otherwhise depending windows will not be closed automatically.

    -Another hint: When you enable "FW=yes" you must use the brand new F5OEO FW !!! This FW is available on request, just ask Evariste F5OEO !!! Set "FW=no" with all other FW versions !!!

    -Added a light version (DATV-TX-LIGHT.bat), just steering the Pluto without streaming. Can be done by OBS direct or something similar.

    -Parameters adjusted, videobitrate now possible down to 20kbit

    -Parameters adjusted, better performance now at SR`s > 1500KS

    -SR now up to 4000KS (makes only sense with new F5OEO FW and terrestical).

    -Bugfixes and improvement for scripts under \scripts (thanks for the hint Jacinto)

    -Sample Rate in GSE-Mode can be steered independently even during operation (TX-Frequency window). Watch the result in the MQTT-Browser.
    -Added RXOFFSET parameter in config-tx.ini to set the right LNB-Offset, Longmynd frequency calculated automatically.

    -Hint: When you enable "FW=yes" you must use the brand new F5OEO FW !!! Set "FW=no" with all other FW versions !!!

    -DATV RX added, now works standalone without MT or OT, a MPV or FFPLAY window opens and the stream will be decoded.

    -LNB polarization and supply added (not working yet, but I think in later F5OEO FW it will)

    -DATV-Relay-Mode added (set RELAIS=on in Mosquitto settings section), RX on one frequency and TX on another. Parameters set automatically.

    -Deleted PLUTOMQTTIP in config-tx.ini, it was the same as PLUTOIP

    -Bugfix for SETUP.bat

    -Improved SET-FAVOTITE.bat

    -Improved SET-FAVORITE-LIGHT.bat

    -VBR implementation, this works only in variable FEC !!! Try a medium FEC, high FECRANGE and watch the buffers in the Pluto. VBR causes high bitrate peaks!!!!

    -Actual parameters now shown in the control window

    -When a favorite is called, now parameters are also stored in the "Last run"

    -Corrected a mistake in the frequenzy table

    -RTMP implementation

    -Linux version 0.98 added
