Flussonic Media Server 22.07

Мы выпустили Flussonic Media Server 22.07.

Реализована GeoIP балансировка. При обращении зрителя, балансировщик отправляет его не просто на наименее загруженный стример, но еще и географически ближайший.

Реализована балансировка транскодеров: публикация, принятая от сервера захвата Flussonic, отправляется на транскодер с наименьшим количеством активных потоков.
