Format Detector Plugin for SageTV

[jvl711]

Hi,

I have worked with Narflex to add some new features to SageTV.

1. Added forced as a property to subtitle tracks
2. Added 4k resolution to the pretty resolutions
3. Added HEVC (H.265) as a known media format
4. Added the ability to have a custom Format Detector Plugin to SageTV

I have created a JNI Wrapper around FFmpeg for SageTV use https://github.com/jvl711/JavaFFmpegLibrary

I have created a new format detector plugin based on the JNI wrapper library https://github.com/jvl711/MediaFormatParserPlugin

I was hoping to see if I could get help from the community on two items.

1. Beta testers. I need users who are comfortable with the risk of testing this.
2. I could use a developers help with the JNI wrapper library. I would like to make it so the project can compile for both windows and linux. I am a Java/C# developer, so that aspect is a little foreign to me.

Let me know if there is any interest. I still have some work to do before anyone could test.

FYI. I have been using the format detector code on my personal server for a few months. I feel pretty confident on it's stability at this point.

Holy smokes, a new plugin!!! Awesome.

I'd be happy to beta test, just let me know what I need to do to get it installed on my server and then how I would test something like this. I do have some 4k drone video, and I could probably find some 4k samples to download, but I do not have any other 4k content.

Hey this is great! I would also be happy to test.

I will beta test.

I'm curious if this means forced subtitle tracks in mkv files will now be respected even over extenders?

Yes. As long as the track is properly marked, and the client has the ability to render it.

The track needs to be marked with the language that you have configured as your audio language, and be marked as forced.

Would it be beneficial to install this on a Windows Client or would you only want to do this on the server?
