Orbit TV 0.48.0 to 0.51.0 verification

Vortex Movie Night, six more channels, no show on two channels at once, and a scrolling channel list.

Changed

• 0.48: weekday events. Vortex Movie Night runs Friday and Saturday, 20:00 to 22:00, from reviewed films.
• 0.49: Orbit Gold, Heroes and Evidence, each with a small fallback loop made from its own pool. A second copy of a show counts as the same show.
• 0.50: a show isn't scheduled over itself on another channel, unless a channel has nothing else to show. Extra shows, ToonZ, Rewind and Orbit X, a Cartoons category, and optional suggestion rules.
• 0.51: channels moved to a scrolling Smart channels screen, because the buttons had overflowed the setup panel.

Not checked

• The new channels playing on the TV, and the guide scrolling through ten channels, need Paul's eye. I checked plans and on-screen text, not the picture.
• Several days of real running, a show finishing on air, a real clock change and Emby going offline on the box.
• Tuning times on the new channels.
• After Dark and Terra aren't yet on the new rules: their film rest applies as plans extend.
