Global IP TV Panel for recent WoofCE Pups :
The latest revised pet issued on 2nd April 2024 is attached: (Global_IP_TV_Panel_Any_Pup_using_mpv-2024MK1)
The pet remains suitable for recent WoofCE pups such as Fossapup64 9.5 , FP9.6-CE & Bookworm Pup64 10.0.3 to 10.0.6
EasyOS includes an earlier version in the WoofQ build. To update EasyOS simply install this latest Pet which will
overwrite the original files.
Change In This Version:
- DW News changed to a new Hi-Res 1080p stream @60 FPS on 31/03/24. This has a new URL.
N.B.
With effect from 24th Feb 2023 due to coding changes made by YouTube, in order to receive the YT channels a
revised youtube-dl python script needs to be installed in addition to the panel pet. This does NOT apply to EasyOS as an
update has already been included.
That pet can be found here:

youtube_dl_2023_02_23-114514.pet |Unofficial nightly build. It may be updated once installed by
issuing the following command in a terminal:
Code: Select all
youtube-dl -U
To just check the version issue the command:
Code: Select all
youtube-dl --version
Previous Relevant Changes:
All streams are now initially launched in a 1280x720 window even when the native resolution of the channel is less than 720p
or more than 720pIf a dedicated graphics card is present GPU hardware decoding will now if possible be used.
Channels are now a mixture of .m3u8 and YouTube streams.
France 24 have re-arranged their YouTube streams in the light of the war in Ukraine.
I found the new stream to be slightly problematic but have combated that with some extra mpv option codes in the script.
Now when the channel is launched a static video frame will appear for approx 7 seconds whilst the cache fills up to a level
to start smooth synced play.mpv options now included in channel launcher scripts as opposed to mpv.conf files.
A new dedicated screenshot directory common to both WoofCE & WoofQ [ /files/media/images/TV_panel_screenshots ]
The jwm TV Panel menu item has been moved from the Desktop section to the Multimedia section.
Bloomberg TV has moved to a subscription model and has therefore been replaced by DW TV. (1080p @60 FPS)
General Notes & Installation:
Some of the streams can take several seconds to launch depending on the relative locations
of the server and the user. Here in the UK for example, the ABC AU channel may take up to 7 seconds to launch.
If you have one of the previous pets installed please use PPM to uninstall it before you install this new version.
MPV Specific Notes: ( These are reproduced below. )
# --no-border is used within launch scripts. eg /usr/bin/mpv --no-border [url or path to file/script]
