PiBox Media Center v0.11.0 Release Notes
2016-10-11

Additional Information

General Status
------------------------------------------
PiBox Media Center is a consumer oriented distributions for distributed media playback in travel trailers without Internet connectivity. The UI is based on GTK+ with Cairo and the system runs on the Raspberry Pi optimized PiBox Developement Platform distribution.

Highlights for this release include
  • Support for Raspberry Pi Model 2
  • A new app: picam (webcam on the connected monitor)
  • Switched VideoLib database to JSON and added support for TV series
  • Video selection now includes poster and series artwork plus summaries
  • Video playback now supports both HDMI and analog audio
  • Major performance improvements in the video front end app and webcam playback
  • Made fbturbo the default X server
  • New functionality and JSON support to libpibox
  • Minor UI cleanup including dropping the X cursor
  • Added support for multicast registration of IoT devices along with REST interface definition
  • Major code cleanup of Pibox Network Config and associated libpnc.
  • Upgrades to latest upstream firmware
  • Verified compatibility with available upstream rootfs packages
  • Bump cross toolchain gcc to 4.8.5
  • Improved metabuild for opkgs
  • Improved cross-toolchain builds for all opkgs
  • Updates to piboxd server unit tests

PiBox Media Player's can now perform better in video selections as long as the VideoLib app was used to reduce the
size of poster art.

Where this is headed
------------------------------------------
Near term plans include support for a PC-based XM Satellite Receiver and improving the Video Front End UI to be more Plex-like.

The long term plans include integration with BLE devices to provide a wider-scale Internet of Things infrastructure, taking PiBox from the trailer into the home. Additional work is planned for WiFi Direct, improving boot times and overall performance, additional media player apps and voice and smartphone control.

0.12 Plans
------------------------------------------
  • Android app remote control over wifi
  • Hardware related projects
    • Custom cases
    • Rechargable LiPo battery supply w/ power on/off
    • Integrate multiport USB "shield" with Media Server
  • Possible BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) dongle integration
  • TV app using USB adpater
  • Music player app

Getting involved
------------------------------------------
PiBox is currently a one man project. I'd like to have more users of the system and welcome new developers.

To get started using the system please download the tarball, unpack it and use the mksd card to format your SD card. Then use the mkinstall script to install the distribution to the SD card.

To get started with development, please read the developer wiki on how to build the PiBox Development Platform.
http://www.graphics-muse.org/wiki/pmwiki.php/RaspberryPi/Software

Contact me at or if you're interested in helping out, have ideas for improvement or just want to know how to use the system.

-K
option to kill any running piboxd daemons.
RM #509: Moved parson library to libpibox.
General: Run as sudo if using verbose above 3 to avoid broken pipe error on exit of test script. RM #503: Updating unit tests. Clean up unit tests so they are less verbose by default and specify PASS or FAIL after the test name. Added validation tests for everything up to heartbeate and made sure they properly clean up so they can all be run in sequence from a single test run. Allow generation of a unique UUID for some tests. Capture connection reset by peer message from nc but don't assume failure because of it. Run piboxd with 
-t12
to limit stream timeouts to something useful within the unit tests. Check for core files ater each test run and notify user.
RM #503: Don't abort a failed stream as that leaves a core file. Use exit() instead.

RM #457: Extend test to support running with valgrind, split out SIPV4 subtests to be callable individually and report pass/fail, launch piboxd and kill it automatically when running the tests. All of this is part of the port of piboxd to libpiboxnet.
RM #457: Extend suppression file to ignore gobject, libpixman and a few others that are not part of the code under test.
RM #457: Remove extraneous file.
RM #457: Initial porting to libpibox and libpiboxnet. Still much work to be done in the port to libpiboxnet.

RM #457: There were many mistakes in the port to the pnc library. These updates fix all known errors and allow pibox-network-config to properly generate data files under test mode. Removed glade files: this is no longer managed by glade. If you want UI updates, you gotta do it by hand now.
RM #457: Fixed leaks exposed by Valgrind. Fixed errors in startup not exposed before switch to library that have to do with using uninitialized variables in UI. Switched to use static library for pibox-network-config, possibly only for initial testing.
RM #457: Pass log file name (if any) to pncLoggerInit().
RM #457: Remove return value from pncSetInterfaceField. Check for invalid idx in get/setHostAPField().

RM #457: Remove all references to local utils/log modules in favor of libpibox versions. Changed pncUpdateInterface() to take addr, netmask and gateway arguments instead of calling back to the UI to get them. Caller now makes that UI call before calling pncUpdateInterface. Removed UI callbacks from network library. Callers now handle UI callbacks before calling library API functions.
RM #457: Mirgrate stripNewline() calls to use libpibox pncStripNewline().
RM #457: Switched to using g_strdup from strdup.
RM #457: Switched to using g_strdup from strdup. Moved showIPInStatusBar to callbacks.c and out of network library.

RM #457: More migration to a proper library API: merged save.h and load.h to pnc.h (public API) and pncPrivate.h (internal API) and migrated all data structure access in those modules to get/set functions. Use libtools features to export only regex specified functions.
RM #457: Fix header directory name for library in packaging.
RM #457: Change all references to bui-network-config to pibox-network-config.
RM #457: Add

RM #457: Integrate libtool use.
RM #457: Quiet complaints from autoconf on build. Cleanup generated files on distclean.
RM #457: First step in creating a library for bui-network-config: clean up the build so it's generated the same as all other PiBox packages and create an opkg for it (so it's easier to update).
RM #455: Added base network address to hostap configuration.
RM #439: Fix load of hostap config to default to TKIP to match clients expectations.

RM #542, RM #414: Added Pango-rendered overview to display with a semi-transparent overlay between the text and poster. Added series poster above episode poster, overlaying the latter with the overview. Fixed problem with resizing and repositioning of windows on startup.
RM #542, RM #515: Port to libpibox (pncLogger). Ported db handling to new JSON-based formats generated by VideoLib. Add TV Episodes option via TAB key in main interface. Show episode poster.

RM #515: Migrate to libpibox version of logging library.
RM #542: Add menu bar that works with TAB to switch between Movies and TV Episodes. It's just the menu, but it's Cairo based so the same events work on it as the rest of the interface. This was required prior to designing a way for working with either types of db formats.
RM #511: Set new default for vtsrc and vttmp to 3 and 4, respectively, to support changes in kernel and inittab for upcoming 0.11.0 release.
RM #511: Return index from parse(). Added logging in spawnPlayer() to figure that out.
