Bugs fixed:

Reading teletext from SDI cards pixel=10 value for reading teletext from SDI cards became default.

SDI input
To keep broadcasting SDI channels and then return to live as expected, an issue with SDI input not switching back after a failure (with a backup input engaged) was fixed.

VOD files are played via DASH as expected with certain combinations of parameters in the source file.

Receiving publications from Cisco CMS

WebRTC Player
To make it clear to customers how to enable and disable screen casting, the readme was updated with the corresponding information.

SRT ingest does not fail anymore when a providerparameter is added in the stream config.

“Restart” button
The “Restart” button is displayed correctly after an update.
