HoloStream 2021.1.2 Release Notes

New Features

Web Player

  • Updated playback UI on preview webplayer

  • Fixed an issue with the buffering spinner

  • Fixed an issue with the large Play button

  • Fixed an issue with the volume controller

  • Fixed an issue with the seek bar length not correctly matching clip duration

  • Numerous performance and reliability enhancements have been made across all major browsers (Chrome, FireFox, Safari, Edge)

    • These updates are backwards compatible with all existing uploaded content while using our default player

If you're using a custom UI, seek has been changed to use absolute time values (previously it was percentage-based)

Uploader

  • The Uploader is now used to initiate a job on the remote server, which will be used to process your clip online rather than locally

    • This greatly simplifies the process of generating a streaming clip and reduces the amount of local resources required

    • The Uploader can still be used to update a clip using an existing Content ID

  • Upload security is now handled using Arcturus license credentials

    • You will be prompted to sign in via a browser window during the upload process

    • Credentials will be stored for a short time (~1 day)

Upload for Streaming (HoloEdit)

  • Streaming content can be processed using Export Composition > Streaming in HoloEdit

    • This will package and upload a clip directly from HoloEdit, using our remote job servers

Improvements

HoloStream Plugin

  • Numerous performance and reliability enhancements have been made to the plugin across iOS and Android platforms

Uploader

  • Fixed an issue with manifest generation that could cause clips to freeze early in playback

  • Fixed an issue with manifest generation that would cause clips to not play on iOS

It is recommended that any clips which experienced either of these issues should be re-processed using the [Uploader](uploader-mpd).  If you continue to experience any issues, please contact our support team.
