Orbit TV 0.78.0: idents

  • Full screen, the last 7 seconds of a programme are covered by the channel's approved 3D ident, with "Next" and the coming show. The show underneath fades to silence and pauses. It covers the end of a show, usually credits, so the next one still starts exactly on time and schedules don't change.
  • As Paul asked, the next show loads silently first, 12 seconds before the ident begins, and takes over when it ends. If it isn't ready, it tunes in the ordinary way.
  • 25 channels have a film, re-encoded small: 8 MB in all, taking the app to 21.6 MB. Wild, Detour, BritX and Junior have none yet, so they show their logo over the next show's artwork for 5 seconds.
  • No ident on programmes under 3 minutes, in the picture on the menu, or on the Drive-In.
  • Idents are silent for now.

Checked: build, lint and 294 unit tests pass. Not checked until installed: a real changeover on the box, including whether there's a black moment as the next show takes over, how it looks, and a second Emby stream open for about 20 seconds against the plan's limit of 3.
