Release Notes
Version 2.0.0 [2024] https://info-beamer.com/lnk/2.0.0 * Completely recreated the video playback and surface management mechanism. info-beamer now uses KMS/DRM for setting video modes and controlling video output composition. OpenGL is now provided by Mesa. It now uses FFmpeg together with V4L2 for full hardware decoded video playback. As a result info-beamer is no longer reliant on any of the proprietary broadcom libraries. * HEVC playback on the Pi4 and Pi5 and now render videos into GL textures (non-raw videos). * H264 playback on the Pi5 is implemented in software as hardware support is no longer available. * Rotating raw videos by 90 or 270 degree now mostly transparently falls back to rendering into a texture and rotating that. This is necessary as rotating video output planes by 90 degrees is not supported by the hardware. * Screenshotting is now embedded into info-beamer itself. This is necessary for the new Pi4/5 versions as it's no longer possible to acces the video subsystem while info-beamer is in control. Snapshotting works using a new *screenshot/<dpy> command via the TCP interface. The screenshot is returned as JPEG data. Version 1.0.4 [2022-09-27] https://info-beamer.com/lnk/1.0.0 * General maintenance Version 1.0.3 [2021-09-17] https://info-beamer.com/lnk/1.0.0 * Added resource.create_qr_code * Various internal improvements for the Pi4. Version 1.0.1 [2020-03-06] https://info-beamer.com/lnk/1.0.0 * Fixed memory leak in H264 decoder on Pi4. * Added INFOBEAMER_GLOBAL_VSYNC_US Version 1.0.0 [2020-02-21] https://info-beamer.com/lnk/1.0.0 * Added support for the Pi4 * Completely new video subsystem for FKMS (used on the Pi4) * Minor improvements while live streaming * Downscale larger images in software to fit into the texture size limit. This allows you to load 4K images on older Pi version, but of course you'll get a lower resolution result as the image gets downscaled.(For the full release notes of previous releases check the file CHANGELOG.txt in the downloaded file)
