The MacOS build doesn't work for me, it just makes part of the screen flicker once, then quits. Running from source in a python venv works though.

Hi there. Thanks for your feedback. Did you try the latest release?

Can you run the mac executable from terminal and share the output? Also are you trying this on an intel mac?

It works very well so far. Would it be possible to also display Picons?

And I have one more wish, if it would be possible to choose a recording profile in MKV.

Mehdi

@Sillion b9th should be easy to add. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi !

On question... which protocol is used ? HTSP or Pass ?

Ciao Gerd

Mehdi

It's pass, no support for htsp.

It's possible to do a portable build for Windows? Just a zip file with the player and no need for install? 🙂

Mehdi

Yes it's possible but the installer just copies the executable to the directory of your choice.

Mehdi

Mehdi

i can only speak for myself.... i only use profiles on live tv,,, if i record, i will do that with my "favourite" profile

Ciao Gerd
