v0.1.0
First release.
- Plays a looping image or video when every real stream on a channel has failed.
- Reads the picture from a path inside the data volume or from an
http(s)link, which is
downloaded and cached; a failed download falls back to the cached copy. - Attaches the fallback last in each channel's stream order, so Dispatcharr reaches it
only after every real stream has failed. - Excludes channels by group name, channel number, or channel name.
- Covers channels added by an M3U refresh, and restarts the fallback by itself when a
channel starts. - Serves one MPEG-TS encode to every viewer at once. The encoder starts on the first
viewer and stops fifteen seconds after the last one leaves. - Encodes at a constant bitrate with H.264 filler data, so the card fills Dispatcharr's
one-megabyte start buffer in a fraction of a second rather than minutes, and survives
the remux the defaultffmpegstream profile performs. - Matches the picture's own resolution by default, up to 1920x1080.
- Encodes dark gradients without banding and without pulsing between clear and banded: no
-tune, and a four-second VBV buffer. - Reclaims its port from a fallback left behind by an earlier run, so Apply recovers on
its own instead of reporting the port as taken.
