Update Notes - 8-24-2024

Today's update is all about improved stability 🔧

• Config examples have been updated to allow running in a subdirectory. It's finally possible!
• If you have an existing config file and want to convert it to run in a subdirectory, remove the leading slash from local content. /placeholders/... should just be placeholders/... for instance.
• Example files have a new parameter called baseDirectory which is only really useful for loading them from the /examples page. You likely won't need this parameter in your main config.tvs.yml file.
• YouTube videos were not respecting volume controls and now mute themselves now if the volume is set to 0.
• autoScale wasn't working properly as when set to false it would still resize due to how config files were loaded. Those problems are fixed now.
• About page now shows the TVS logo.

Read this first!

Get started quickly:

• Put the files in the root directory of a web server. For now we require serving out of the root directory.
• Visit index.html and it should load the example configuration.

Basic keyboard controls:

• M toggles mute
• Up / Down control channels
• Left / Right control volume

In the browser you need to un-mute when the page loads because of autoplay restrictions.

Edit the example configuration file (config.tvs.yml) and make it your own.
