Новое:

Flussonic Media Server

• #10312 (new) (Flussonic) The support for TTML subtitles in MSS streams.

• #12218 (new) (Flussonic) Now the API command 'modify_config' by default returns OK only after all the changes were applied in Flussonic (not only saved on disk). To make 'modify_config' respond quicker, add the query string parameter '?async=true'.

• #12343 (new) (Flussonic) Playing only specified tracks via MSS (this is useful, for example, for devices that do not support multi-language MSS manifests).

• #12386 (new) (Flussonic) You can create an audio chat as a mosaic of published streams and play it via WebRTC.

• #12594 (new) (Flussonic) You can specify which track to include into output MPTS by assigning it to a PID. Now only tracks with a PID will be sent to transponder or pushed to UPD2. This eliminates the need to create an additional stream to ingest only the tracks you want and then send this stream to MPTS.

• #12629 (new) (Flussonic) The preliminary support for the SRT protocol was added, publication to Flussonic via SRT is now possible.

• #12703 (new) (Flussonic) Output to MPTS now supports bitrate changing right during broadcast. This allows adjusting bitrates to utilize bandwidth. The option 'vb' is no longer useful, specify bitrates for tracks in 'transponder' as follows: 'pid 1122 a1 bitrate=150'.

• #11342 (improved) (Flussonic) The following API calls are deprecated: 'get_config', 'config/stream_list', and the UI paths: streams, files, select_media, clear_select_media, hls_reader_info. To use them, you'll need to enable the environment variable 'FLUSSONIC_OLD_CONFIG=true'. Commands 'stream_create', 'stream_update', 'stream_delete', and 'media' work as always.

• #12275 (improved) (Flussonic) When pushing to UDP2, you can list PIDs in the following way: 'push udp2://239.1.2.4:1235 bitrate=7000 pnr=2 vb=6000 pmt=2000 v1=2011 a1=2021'. The option 'mpegts_pids' cannot be used with UDP2.

• #12752 (improved) (Flussonic UI) The Runtime column in Media now shows the number of days if the number of hours is greater than 24.

The players

• #8247 (improved) (Player) Publishing of audio-only tracks via WebRTC to Flussonic is supported now (and this can make it possible to stream audio-only content via WebRTC).
