h2. Changelog
For It will include many of the full changelog you can consult "github":https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/compare/3.0...v3.2, but beware this is pretty big!
h3. Summary
* Muxer framework - A new muxer framework has been implemented to allow the possibility to enable multiple different recording and streaming formats. Currently only MKV and TS are supported, but others may features that will be added in the future.
* TS recording - It is once again possible to under development as part of [[Tvheadend-31|v3.1]]. But will have Tvheadend recording in TS format, this is selectable from the DVR configuration page. This is currently done using the Pass-through container.
* TS HTTP streaming - this is also now possible, currently there is no way to change the default container so you must specify the container in the URI. For TS streaming append ?mux=pass to the URI. Currently the UI links (VLC plugin etc...) do not allow this to be selected.
* EPG rewrite - The EPG code has had a complete rewrite, it now includes more structure internally, has the ability to process extensive testing and store additional metadata including series links and episode identifiers (where available - depends on EPG grabber). be considered more stable.
* EPG grabber updates - In conjunction with the re-write The exact details of what will be included and when the EPG, the grabber framework has been updated. This includes addition of several new broadcast grabbers:
** OpenTV (for sky UK/IT/AU support)
** Freesat/view (UK only)
** Plus the EIT release will be available are still under discussion and XMLTV grabbers have been improved.
* HTSPv6 - the HTSP protocol has had some minor updates will to improve some aspects of performance, mainly relating to EPG. For XBMC users a large extent depend on how things go with the latest pvr.hts addon from https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons, this should greatly reduce the EPG import time.
* Adapter Power saving - several options have been added to reduce power consumption from the DVB adapters by shutting them down when not in use. However we have found this causes problems with some adapters, so if you experience performance issues with these options please try disabling them first before reporting issues.
