New compared to version 3.05

- Added support for HackRF SDR over USB

- Better support for opening and closing ffmpeg window if box checked.

- Fixed bug on AV1 soft coding which crashes..

- No need to manually install Eclipse Mosquitto anymore

Hello Sandor,

AV1 does not currently work with mpegts.

You say that "AV1 streaming via ffmpg works well on the pluto"?

If any OM has experience, please post there!

I did streaming av1 in avi and udp experimentally but not very usable.

In this version 3 i add coding AV1 soft (and Hard not tested) soon avaible.

Thanks for your questions and reply of experimentation !

Hello Rolf,

The list of compatible graphics cards is provided in the package: Choix-Choice Encoder.txt

GT200m seem to old.

What is the error message ?

@Jabi You can enter the power in "Tx Gain %"

Hello,

After the release of DATV-Easy version 2.17 I took over the new features to upgrade FreeStreamCoder
- Added latest ffmpeg 6.0
- Added new SR audio
- Add output in RTP protocol (mpegts on RTP)
You can download this new version below

Hi Roll

Sorry for the late reply, if the problem still exists it looks like a corrupted file.

- uninstall all pass CCLEANER

- download the setup again

- reinstall with antivirus disabled

Or maybe driver problem of graphic card, what is your choice of encoder in configuration ?

-maybe look if you have the lasted driver of GeForce GTX 1650

- test on soft encoder to see if the bug persists

Hello everyone,

New version V2.17 compatible with LimeSDR mini, PlutoSDR with manufacturer firmware and Pluto with F5OEO firmware.

New compared to version 2.16:

- Switch to ffmpeg version 6.0

- Added old firmware versions F5OEO (ex 2908)

- Added Rolloff 0.10

- Added visualization encoding speed must be > 99% to avoid drops

- Added H266 VVC Experimental codec only soft coding is available: monitor CPU load!

>> don't forget to switch with soft encoder and in non-automatic settings

>> BEWARE experimental only start with small bitrate and low fsp 66KS or 125KS and 8fps then gradually increase

>> The newer your CPU, the better your results will be

To receive the H266 >> supply "DecodeH266" file for h266 decoding in UDP with ffplay or VVCeasy

good test http://www.vivadatv.org/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=1004

73 Dominique F1EJP

Thank you yes it will be interesting to see the possibilities with an I9

Hello,

The new DATV-Easy 2.17 is made with ffmpeg 6 !

It will avaible soon for your test !

The script which I give the link for decoding is made with ffplay (ffmpeg 6)

A plugin exist also for VLC

For VVC H266 the minimum CPU seem a old I5

ON1RC test the limit of the CPU I5 98 %

For me between 60 and 100% with a old I7

Please note that the software coding remains experimental and is not yet as good as the H265, it is limited in speed and fps by the power of the cpu.

Its quality can still be improved.

73 Dominique F1EJP

Hello

This new compression will reduce the video stream by 50% for the same quality and therefore the bandwidth occupied.

It is a future compression standard for 4K 8K television.

The first televisions equipped with a decoding chip should be released this year !

For the moment the H266 only works in soft coding because there is not yet a graphic card which supports it.

CPU load goes from 60 to 100%

for the moment it is necessary to limit to a small flow and fps

The latency is about 15 seconds.

If you want to test in reception and give a report download the files below. You must unzip the folder on the desktop and if necessary modify the ip and the port in the .bat file to correspond to the udp output of the Minitiouner

and launch the .bat corresponding to the desired definition.

Yesterday a first:

First QSO Duplex DAVT on QO100 between F1EJP and ON1RC in H266 VVC encoding with DATV-Easy 2.17 Beta

Ready for download

Hello,

Here is the new version 2.16 which includes all the improvements indicated in the post above.

You can use it with:

- the ADALM PLUTO in USB2 with the original firmware from Analog Device

- The ADALM PLUTO in Ethernet with the Firmware of Evariste F5OEO from 2021 : 0201, 0303, (2103), 2402

- The LimeSDR mini in USB3

You can leave many of the default settings on Automatic or experiment with your settings.

The software also allows you to monitor and control your amplifiers by relay control.

The ZIP Pack includes:

- the installation executable

- the drivers to install (for the Pluto install the 2 exe's)

- links to compatible graphics cards or processor for hardware encoding

- the program for an Arduino Uno with an Ethernet shield card for monitoring the current, voltage, temperature and power.

- a summary of possible remote commands in UDP

- A shortcut to start OBS automatically with the virtual camera

Do not forget to read the PDF notice before any questions.

Thank you for your feedback and encouragement.

Happy testing!

>> remember to uninstall any older version first !

>> Attention for NVIDIA coding You need to update your NVIDIA graphics card drivers

Hello Sandor

Don't think that OM is not interested in this AV1 codec as well as H266!

It is not yet well implemented by the manufacturers but we are testing it.

Currently the mpeg-ts container is not compatible with this codec for DVB broadcasting.

The future will undoubtedly be the DVB-GSE container, the first tests of which have begun.

- reduction of thresholds to improve low throughput SR25 or 20

- Addition of new remote commands in UDP (see Remote UDP server file)

- Added 4K for fun..

- ffmpeg parameter optimizations for low speed and cuts: buffer setting, data stub thresholds, automatic values

- added latest version ffmpeg 2022 12 06 (newer than 5.1.2)

- added time delay setting on LimeSDR mini calibration (11 seconds by default)

- improved image definition presets
