Connect

What’s New in Release 88:

  • We added a new product feature called Media Item Metadata that will allow users to store metadata specific to Media Items for descriptive information that they can’t put into a tag or the file name. Users can create Media Type Metadata Fields, as well as custom metadata fields, and populate these fields on Media Items once ingested into Connect. Users can also import metadata to a Media Item so they can leverage the CSV Import functionality.
  • We made an improvement to the Netflix Backlot Delivery that prevents a potential error due to triggering a delivery with no request selected. Now the “Submit” button is disabled if no request is selected.
  • We updated the Language field on the MediaWarp page so that users can utilize the search function for Audio Language selection. 
  • We made improvements to FTP deliveries so that they are more reliable. Users will now notice that copy FTP activity scales automatically, and now 20 deliveries can be made at the same time.
  • We made improvements to the CSV Import feature so that the user now receives immediate feedback on the progress of the import on the frontend. 
  • We added alerts that will let users know if a CPL has any issues with track lengths or marker positions in order to prevent users from sending packages through to Photon QC with incorrect lengths.
  • UX/UI and Workflow Improvements

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where logging in with OKTA for Multi-Factor Authentication was failing.
  • Fixed an issue where pending MediaWarp workflows were missing from all workflow lists.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing Task pages on the Task Management Dashboard to not properly load.
  • Fixed an issue causing transfer providers to be filtered by protocol rather than delivery type only.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing Copy tasks to take too long when creating an IMF package. 
  • Fixed an issue that was not allowing a user to re-inspect a file after canceling a Probe workflow on that file.
  • Fixed an issue that was displaying an error when trying to Edit a Video Track on the Tracks tab. 
  • Fixed an issue that was displaying an error when trying to create two new Suborganizations in a row.
  • Fixed issues that were allowing certain buttons to remain active even for jobs that weren’t supposed to be started or tasks that hadn’t finished yet. 
  • Fixed an issue where switching a MediaConvert transcoding profile to a Hybrik provider was not allowing the user to save the profile.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the new Title Navigator to not display full names of Episodes and Media Items. 
  • Fixed an issue causing files to not display upload status if the user navigated to a different tab and then back again. 
  • Fixed an issue where users were unable to close pop-up error messages.
  • Fixed an issue where filters had no functionality when trying to filter deliverables or packages on both jobs that had multiple packages/deliverables and packages with multiple Child and Flat packages linked to them.
  • Fixed an issue where Child Packages weren’t populating the Job or Build Status columns and Flat Packages weren’t populating the Build Status column when inspecting the initial IMF package.
  • Fixed an issue where a non-JPEG image set as a Title’s cover image would display as broken or missing everywhere besides the Details tab. 
  • Removed the Asset filter from the Storage Explorer tab on the Media Items page as it had no functionality. 
  • Fixed an issue where the hyperlinks for the source and destination files were missing under the Transcribe Task after running the Convert Speech to Text task on a Media Item. 
  • Fixed an issue where Dolby Vision metadata extraction was failing.
  • Fixed an issue where the Timed Text Compare analysis was failing at the “Analyze Timed Text” process
  • Fixed an issue where users were unable to create an IMF package using a Timeline that contained a Dolby Atmos audio track. 
  • Other UX/UI fixes

 

Discover

What’s New in Release 88:

  • We have added a global “Create new” button on every page under the Discover Admin. Now, users can click this button to quickly create entities regardless of what page they’re on. This button has multiple options available, including Title, Group, Channel, Screening Room (if enabled), and User. 
  • When selecting the background for an Image Transcode, users will now notice better differentiation between the page color and the select color component.
  • UX/UI Improvements

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where Titles created in Connect were not being displayed on the Titles page in the Discover Admin.
  • Fixed an issue where Metadata values were not being displayed in the Discover Admin for Titles created in Connect.
  • Fixed both frontend and backend issues with the Search Service functionality. 
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the Live Start Date and End Date on the Details Tab to change upon input.
  • Fixed an issue that was displaying an error when a user tried to change an Entity Type on the Metadata Settings Classifications page.
