GTA V Session Sniffer v1.1.6

• Renamed project file \Modules\capture\sync_capture.py to capture.py.
• Fixed a bug where players were shown as "disconnected" after rejoining (the script now enforces the use of Tshark v4.2.8).
• Fixed an issue where players who leaves the session, would occasionally be first marked as "disconnected" then returns with a couple packets, and finally again be marked as "disconnected". This was resolved by changing the default value of the STDOUT_DISCONNECTED_PLAYERS_TIMER setting from 6.0 to 16.0. (Basically, we are just waiting longer before marking them as "disconnected".)
• Improved code.
• Updated URLs to match my new GitHub profile.
• Updated project dependencies:
• "prettytable" from 3.10.2 to 3.11.0
• "urllib3" from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3
• Updated the DISPLAY_FILTER by adjusting from frame.len<=999 to frame.len<=1032
• Added a new method, live_capture, to \Modules\capture\capture.py (currently unused).
• Added IP ranges for "BattlEye", "UK Ministry of Defence", and "Others".
• Added the script's crash-handling mechanisms for enhanced safety on function definitions.

Full Changelog: v1.0.6...v1.1.0

GTA V Session Sniffer v1.0.6

• IMPROVED code.
• UPDATED the packets scanning approach. Previously, it searched indefinitely for a set number of packets (PYSHARK_PACKET_COUNT), stopped scanning, and then resumed. The new algorithm continuously scans as long as there is no delay of 3 seconds between the received packets. In other words, it no longer triggers the creation of tshark.exe processes every second, providing a more efficient and streamlined operation.
• UPDATED a bunch of code, especially for the rendering, with a focus on optimizing performance.
• UPDATED players are now marked as disconnected based on packet timestamps rather than real-time, ensuring a more secure and reliable detection method.
• REMOVED setting PYSHARK_PACKET_COUNT as it is no longer needed in the source code.

Full Changelog: v1.0.5...v1.0.6

GTA V Session Sniffer v1.0.5

• Refined code.
• Fixed display rendering to update in real-time, no longer dependent on receiving packets.
• Fixed <STDOUT_COUNTER_SESSION_DISCONNECTED_PLAYERS> from the settings; it was previously mixing up disconnected individuals in the output.
  Now, it accurately displays only the latest {x} people who've disconnected.
• Fixed <PYSHARK_PACKET_COUNT> from the settings that was not working.
• Added more documentation in the README.md
• Added now when user hit CTRL+C, it will tries to gracefully exit the script.

Full Changelog: v1.0.4...v1.0.5

GTA V Session Sniffer v1.0.4

Full Changelog: v1.0.3...v1.0.4

Big thanks @txshia for providing me with testings of the script on Xbox One console.
