The new release will include the upgrades, features, and issue fixes listed below:

Release Notes for Client 2.0.8​

  • Upgrade: Optimizing Player control buttons on mobile.
    • Updated sizes on mobile view of Player controls. Specifically on embed page.
  • FIX: Video dissapears when you try to go fullscreen.
    • Some users were experiencing issues on specific android devices. Was caused by the Player handling of “fullscreen sizing” for different aspect-ratios of displays. Exiting fullscreen by gestures did not call the reseting of Player size so the Player “disappeared”. Added proper listener for gestures to fix issue.
  • Added: Custom overlays.
    • Added custom overlays. Now the Player offers the possibility of displaying custom text on screen based on specific time ranges (0 - video duration) given by the user. The position (1-9. 1 = top left, 9 = bottom right) of said overlay can also be customized.
  • Upgrade: Livestream re-connectivity and proper custom-screen handling.
    • Since changes have been made to the livestream encoding and handling from the backend, the player has updated its re-connection (in case of stream interruptions) handling. Further more the custom-screens for ended, interrupted and started have been combined into one.
  • Added: Interactibility between all VP media players (vpPlayer, vpAudioPlayer and vpVerticalPlayer).
    • All 3 of the current media players have the option to pause other players of the same time if the user presses play on a specific player. Now if “pause other videos/audios” is turned on, pressing play on that player will pause all other types of players in that page. E.g: If a video Player (VP) and audio Player (AP) are both used on the same page, pressing play on VP (assuming they have pauseOtherVideos: true) will pause audio on AP.

Upgrade: Dashboard update

The new update of dashboard includes key metrics such as Stream, Encoded Minutes, Storage, Ad Impressions, and Embeds per project at the top of the page.
