Hi All,

Open Tuner 0.9 has now been released. You can find it in the usual place: https://www.zr6tg.co.za/open-tuner/

- The annoying VLC window bug should be fixed (feedback welcome)
- Ive also integrated MPV so you now have the option to select VLC/FFMPEG or MPV as video player. This binaries for MPV also includes VCC support.
- Misc other stability fixes
And then also this version contains experimental support for Colin (G4EML) PicoTuner Support. Use a Raspberry Pico to replace the FTDI Module, also includes support for dual TS (and only 1 usb cable ). Thanks to Colin for all the great work. More details here: https://www.zr6tg.co.za/2024/02/11/pico ... ternative/
As always, let me know if any issues.

73, Tom

Hi Tom,

0.9 working well on my system.
No problems will keep testing.
The addition of MPV makes 266 user friendly.
I had forgotten how good the Chat window is.
Thanks for all you do!

Worked well right away with the converted minitiouner.

Thanks Tom en Colin.

Adaptor PCBs should be available soon.
These will allow a Pico to be fitted to a V2 Minitiouner.

That great news Colin, I'll certainly be ordering some. Thank you for the amazing work you've done on this.

I am using the Open Tuner Ver. 0.9 All working OK and the screens are now stable. One small point when I close the program using the X in the corner the program does not always close but freezes and I have to go into TASK MANAGER to close the program. Not really a big problem Hi. THANK YOU very much for the wonderful software. 73 de OE8PCK Paul

I find I can get it to close reliably if I click the X on the debug window.
