Yet Another UI Client v2

[mvallevand]

While working on yauiclient for the RPi, making the code cross platform and I came across several bug fixes and (I think improvements) to the code and have released yauiclient v2 to the wiki.  It allows several customization options for audio passtrough and of note on newer machines h/w playback is much improved.  In fact Dolby Vision and 8K video can be played from the video library.  Deinterlacing is also automatically detected on newer machines but there is a performance hit so this can be disabled in the yauiclient.json file.

There are also some music playback improvements for the next release of NextPVR.

The download information has been added to the wiki page https://github.com/emveepee/Testing/wiki/yauiclient

Thanks mvallevand for the utterly fab client I have two requests and two bugs

Requests
Better sound support on the gui
Multi channels in one window is fab but is it possible to have multi-windows or multi instance

bugs
The gui can get badly messed up after clicking on say the rewind button etc.
using the webinterface, and Yauc2 causes Yauc2 not release which tunner to use .. Not actually sure its a tuner lockout or what

[mvallevand]

For support open a new thread with the logs, UI client have no control over the tuners. NextPVR does default to not sharing tuners for Live TV even if you have multiple tuners.

UI clients don't provide their own GUI so any changes would need to be on the backend. In yauiclient there are keyboard controls for volume outside of the UI Client API

You should be able to move and resize windows after they open. Only the first gets saved though.

Navigating with the mouse is not well supported by my apps since UI clients are client server and not that responsive. UI clients are designed for a remote or keyboard so better to use arrow keys an or thumbs for navigating. NLite might work better for this, I am not interested in improving mouse support.

Here is a update to yauiclient that fixes a problem playing a recording from the beginning after resuming the previous recording.

Do I need both updates or just them most recent?

[mvallevand]

Just the most recent. The installer does have logic to pull the support dll files from GitHub but those files didn't change.
