Connect Improvements
Audio Track Pre-Caching
By default, all audio tracks are now pre-cached, drastically improving player performance.
Audio Popping in Player
Improvements have been made to how media is interpreted, so that audio popping between audio segments have been reduced.
Language Locales
The file languages have now been consolidated according to the language codes from the Netflix Full Technical Specifications and Operators Manual, on 10 Appendix – 10.1 Language Codes.
Media Item Details Page Improvements
The following improvements were made to the redesigned Media Item Details page:
- Long file paths or file names are now text-wrapped to fit in their respective containers;
- Lists of associated files now contain only 5 results, to reduce used space;
- You can now see detailed media information, as well as file details (parsed from the FFProbe resulting JSON file);
- On the Workbench tab, the list of FrameDNA activities now displays only the most recent one, with the possibility to see older tasks by clicking See More.
New Comments Section Placement
The Comments section on the Media Item Details page can now be accessed from the top-right corner.
Check Storage Action Feedback
Feedback has been added when clicking Check Storage on the Media Item Details page, so you can see the result of your action.
Archiving Action Warning
A warning has been added when clicking Archive on the Media Item Details page, so you can confirm the intention to archive media.
Default Demux Profile Timecode to Follow Source
Extracting IMF Essences by using a demux profile with no Timecode configured will now use the timecode of the source
Media Items Page Re-Designed
The Media Items Page has been redesigned and is now more comprehensive and better structured.
The following tabs have been added:
- Details – contains the player, information about the file, its parent asset, associated files, as well as the media details, as extracted through Probe;
- Inspection – contains a list of ingest tasks applied to the media;
- Tracks – contains a list of tracks along with their details;
- Workbench – contains controls for media processing: Clips, Crop Settings, AD Breaks, Input Clipping, FrameDNA, Extract Original, Extract IMF Essence, Transcode;
- AI – contains information from the GreyMeta analysis;
- QC and Deliver – contains information about Deliveries and AutoQC for the media;
- History – represents a log of all updates on the current media item.
De-Archiving Media for Jobs
De-archiving is now automatically performed when running a job that contains archived files. De-archiving settings are inherited from the Organization Settings menu > Ingest Options section.
If the Auto Dearchive toggle is disabled, the job cannot be processed, as the files will need to be de-archived manually.
Awaiting Media Ingest for Deliveries
The Awaiting Media Ingest task has been added to delivery workflows, which entails an ingest task to be run on the deliverable media.
Player Performance
The performance of the player has been improved, leading to less buffering time on track seeking.
DFXP Timed Text Conversion
You can now convert DFXP timed text into any formats from the Convert Workbench.
