Aetherstream v0.2.15

Five new shows, a film channel, commercial breaks, and a tidier Channels tab.

New shows

• Forecast. The Forecast with Nimbly: a pixie in a raincoat beside a board of every outdoor zone, region by region, the sky now and for the next three bells with the real times, and a rare-weather watch along the bottom.
• Saucer. Saucer Tonight with Ko Bi: a kobold under marquee lights runs the Gold Saucer's numbers like a game show: your MGP, the Jumbo Cactpot draw, the next GATE, the Fashion Report window, and the card of the hour, a Triple Triad card you do not have yet with its art, numbers, stars and where it comes from.
• Sea News. Sea News with Wavv: a sahagin at a half-drowned desk reads the ocean fishing schedule like the shipping forecast, over a sea drawn for the next voyage's hour.
• Allagans. Ancient Allagans: Doctor Sproutlington, a mandragora with a great deal of hair, takes a real vista, creature or item and proves it was the Allagans. Or the Ascians. Or the moon. Red string included.
• Cinema. Aetherstream Cinema: a whole film every five minutes, written from a seed: a Starlight romance, a science fiction, or an action, with a cast of six, nine scenes, subtitles, explosions, a ship, snow, hearts, and the credits.

Commercial breaks

Every five minutes a show stops for forty-eight seconds of adverts: a promo for another show, an item off the market board with a slogan written for it, a thirty-second trailer for a film that does not exist starring Kupo Reeves, Sahagin L. Jackson, Goblin Ford, Pixie Blanchett, Mandragora Freeman or Loporrit Cruise, a sponsor's card from one of the hosts' side businesses, and a bumper each side. Info, Music and Ambience are left alone. An Adverts channel under Ambience plays the breaks back to back, for the connoisseur.

Channels tab

Four groups on a strip: Info, Shows, Music and Ambience, with a dot on the group whose channel is up. Horoscope moved to Info and Radio to Music. Tiles are taller and every blurb fits.

Fixes

• The timed shows and the breaks ran on a clock that stepped back once a second, which flickered anything driven by it. One continuous clock now.
• Nimbly's face no longer jitters with her wings, and the wings are on her back.
