• #11460 (Flussonic) For devices that cannot play DASH with multi-period timeline, such as LG TVs on WebOS, we designed a single-period manifest enabling you to play DASH on that devices.

If there are thousands of published streams and the configuration file is frequently updated, this measure makes your service work without delays. Stream configurations are dynamically updated from this external system.

• #11713 (Coder) The transcoders’ metrics are collected separately for each transcoder and can be obtained in Pulse via custom queries, for example, ‘dec_timnig{media=stream_name}’. The metrics are ‘dec_timing’, ’enc_timing’, ‘bitstream_err_count’ (errors in an input stream), ‘dec_err_count’ (errors when decoding), ’encoders’ (the number of output qualities), ‘fps_in’, ‘fps_out’, ‘mqlen’ (queue size of the transcoder process).
• #11886 (Coder) We are further preparing the transition to the seamless-only mode where the transcoder does not drop frames when the stream source changes.
• #5118 (Player) You can play live and VOD streams on LG TVs, which have WebOS, by using the Flussonic’s embed.html player in the browser. For WebOS, the player uses DASH.
