I've finally taken the plunge and upgraded from 0.2.2 to 0.2.3 with TV server. Only carried out last night so not too much experience with it yet but it appears to be working so far.
My main observation / annoyance is the aspect ratios. I use DVB-T most of the time. With the old TV plugin using DScaler on Normal aspect ratio setting, I would always get a correct aspect ratio viewing. It would happilly switch between 16:9 and 4:3 according to what was on. Now, everything comes in as 4:3 and I have to toggle between Normal and Stretch. I'm using .ts if that matters.
Any workarounds? I'll play with other codecs later tonight to see if that helps but I observed the same with MPV.
