2 | 1 | Andreas Smas | |
3 | 3 | Andreas Smas | This list is just a general scratch-pad where anyone can write down ideas, etc. |
4 | |||
5 | 1 | Andreas Smas | === Add -l option (easy) === |
6 | |||
7 | Starting Tvheadend with the '-l' option should always allow access from localhost without any questions asked. |
||
8 | Useful for mediacenters. |
||
9 | |||
10 | === Add AVAHI support (medium) === |
||
11 | |||
12 | Autodiscovery of Tvheadend would be nice. This should obviously be implemented using [http://avahi.org Avahi]. |
||
13 | This should just announce Tvheadend as some kind of service. |
||
14 | |||
15 | |||
16 | === Rewrite the internal streaming pipeline (hard) === |
||
17 | |||
18 | The internal pipeline is a bit too inflexible at the moment. The rewrite needs to address these problems: |
||
19 | |||
20 | * Add a time-shifter. |
||
21 | |||
22 | * Remove cumbersome locking between nodes in the pipe. |
||
23 | |||
24 | * Prepare for adding live transcoders |
||
25 | |||
26 | This is how we want it to be: |
||
27 | |||
28 | {{{ |
||
29 | [Input source]-[Arbitration] -+-> [Transcoder X] -> [Timeshifter] -> ... |
||
30 | | |
||
31 | +-> [Transcoder Y] -> .... |
||
32 | | |
||
33 | +-------------------> [Timeshifter] -+-- Multiple |
||
34 | +-- subscribers |
||
35 | +-- (HTSP, RTSP, DVR, etc) |
||
36 | }}} |
||
37 | |||
38 | === Switch UI to ExtJS 3.0 (hard) === |
||
39 | |||
40 | Upgrade the user-interface to [http://extjs.com/blog/2009/05/04/ext-js-30-rc11-released/ ExtJS 3.0]. |
||
41 | Features of particular interest would be: |
||
42 | |||
43 | * The [http://extjs.com/deploy/ext-3.0-rc1.1/examples/grid/row-editor.html Row editor] as a replacement for how the grids are edited today. I really like this one (/andoma) |
||
44 | |||
45 | * The Adobe Flash based [http://extjs.com/deploy/ext-3.0-rc1.1/examples/chart/charts.html Charting] for display real-time updates of stream bitrates, DVB adapter errors, etc. |
||
46 | |||
47 | * Ext.Direct for the Comet implementation. Probably more robust than the current code. |
||
48 | |||
49 | === Add wizards for some common tasks (hard) === |
||
50 | |||
51 | Initially we want to add some kind of setup-wizard for the DVB subsystem. It's a bit too complicated to use at the moment. |
||
52 | |||
53 | === Re-implement the RTSP interface (hard) === |
||
54 | |||
55 | RTSP was thrown out of the code when Tvheadend was rewritten to be fully multi-threaded. It would be nice to get this back. |
||
56 | |||
57 | === Realtime transcoding (hard) === |
||
58 | |||
59 | Adding realtime transcoding of video/audio to produce low bitrate output. |
||
60 | |||
61 | === Realtime video display in WebUI (hard/medium) === |
||
62 | |||
63 | Multiple options exist here. |
||
64 | |||
65 | a) Application embedding (of VLC or similar) that just connects to the RTSP server. |
||
66 | |||
67 | b) Flash Video playback. Requires transcoding to h264 and AAC and a flash streaming server. |
||
68 | |||
69 | c) Use the HTMLv5 <video> tag. Requires transcoding to theora and vorbis. Does this use OGG as multiplex? |
