Added more options in the search screen, including the ability to create a advanced recording from the search criteria
Updated formatting of DVB genre strings
Added genre coloring in TV guide.
Added support for extracting a couple more formats of season/episode number from show descriptions (for guides that don't explicitly supply season/episode separately)
Added support for multi-cast udp IPTV streams
Reduced the size of the mouse hotspot that would cause the channel selector to show in web app live tv. Now need to move the mouse to the top right, rather than just the right side.
Schedules Direct lineup list now includes the lineup readable-name.
Slight wording changes to some items in the web app to make usage clearer
Added messages to let user know when EPG has been emptied. (previously looked like nothing happened)
Removed a limitation on showing icons in Kodi if there was less than 700 hundred channels available (I still recommend you delete channels you wont be using, to give you the best performance)
Added Freesat EPG option
Advanced m3u8 streams with multiple separate audio/video streams that are intended to be mixed and matched to combine are now working. These streams are fairly rare, but now work.
Fixed issue where streaming to kodi would fail if the channel had an ampersand in its name.
Protected against an error that could occur in the Windows power management code.
Fixed issue with showing significance indicator ('prem', 'fin' etc) on scheduled shows in tv guide.
Now storing the last epg update time, to simplify things for kodi.
Changes to artwork API to help support kodi plugin
Improvements to auto login in the web app
Changed the cursor shown over a few elements in the web UI.
Changes to the way the Mac version was published, to avoid notarization requirements of Catalina. Now requires you to have installed the .NET Core runtime from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/do...-installer
Fixed issue with old Unmanaged.dll being installed.
Fixed issue with NZ IPTV streams
Fixed issue where DVBC-only devices were not being detected on Linux.
Fixed missing runtime for SlimDX
Fixed issue with Windows installer pointing at the wrong uninstaller executable, so not uninstalling correctly
Fixed issues with Archive function
Fixed a couple of IPTV related issues
Fixed issue with year included in file name for recordings from Schedules Direct listings
Fixed issue where recordings started with Ctrl-K in live tv would end up with a subset of the metadata.
Fixed bug that would cause characters like ampersand and quote to be dropped from channel names when scanning dvb/atsc devices on windows.
Fixed a bug that could cause NextPVRServer to crash when stopping a device
Fixed bug where filename could end up with season/episode number twice
Fixed issue with transcoder bitrate changes sometimes not being written to the config file.
Fixed issue which was causing EXTRA devices to unnecessarily transcode in situations where it could have been avoided.
