Increase the maximum value of the DVB timeout to 240 seconds.
Some devices may need more time for the initial tune (e.g. firmware loading).
Let the user specify higher timeout value if there is need to.
The default remains 30 seconds.

artifact types: --------------------------------------------------------------------- ringing wave or noise like patterns around sharp edges bad: sinc, lanczos (with high filter length) acceptable: lanczos (with low filter length), cubic, spline ok: area, (fast)blinear, gauss, point blur loss of detail / high frequency bad: gauss with high variance acceptable: (fast)bilinear, area ok: others aliasing (only downscale) straight lines look like staircases areas of high detail look worse regular patterns turn into a funny looking mess (moire patterns) bad: fast bilinear, point, gauss with low variance acceptable: area ok: others blocky (upscale only) looks like the image is made of rectangular blocks like a mosaic bad: point ok: others recommendations: (based upon my personal opinion many ppl might disagree ...) --------------------------------------------------------------------- the recommended scalers for upscaling: fast_bilinear, point if speed is important cubic, spline, lanczos if quality is important the recommended scalers for downscaling: fast_bilinear, point if speed is important gauss, bilinear if quality is important cubic, spline, lanczos if a sharper picture is important note: when encoding at a limited amount of bits (not constant quantizer) then a slightly blurred input might look better after decoding than a slightly sharpened one, especially for lower bitrates sws numbers / names / artifact types ------------------------------------------------------------------------- r ringing b blurry a aliasing (downscale only) m mosaic (blocky) (upscale only) -sws 0 fast bilinear bA -sws 1 bilinear b -sws 2 bicubic high sharpness r low sharpness b -sws 3 experimental ???? -sws 4 nearest neighbour AM -sws 5 area ba -sws 6 luma bicubic / chroma bilinear r -sws 7 gauss low sharpness B high sharpness AM -sws 8 sinc R -sws 9 lanczos long filter R short filter b -sws 10 bicubic spline r Notes: area upscale is identical to bilinear
