Encoding Encoder Releases

Latest Releases

Date

Version

Beta

3/14/2023

2.158.0

Added

  • WebM Muxing now supports CENC PlayReady encryption for VP9 video streams using fMP4

Known Issues

  • S3 role-based output for segmented muxings: No upload verification available.

3/7/2023

2.157.0

Added

  • Smart Chunking enabled in Dolby Vision to HDR10 and SDR workflows with frame rate changes.

Changed

  • Internal stability improvements.

Known Issues

  • S3 role-based output for segmented muxings: No upload verification available.

2/28/2023

2.156.0

Added

  • Smart Chunking is enabled for Dolby Vision workflows without frame rate changes.

Changed

  • For HDR manifests the ManifestGenerator.V2 does not write the profile attribute on AdaptationSet level anymore.

Fixed

  • Improved the turnaround times for encodings with 4K inputs shorter than 16 seconds.
  • Creation of a GcsInput or GcsOutput was failing randomly with "Unable to query location of the bucket" if a bucket with the same name existed on AWS S3. The same could also happen for S3Input or S3Output for a bucket with the same name on GCS.

Known Issues

  • S3 role-based output for segmented muxings: No upload verification available.

2/23/2023

2.155.0

Fixed

  • Stability improvements for Dolby Vision workflows with ProRes inputs

Known Issues

  • S3 role-based output for segmented muxings: No upload verification available.
  • Creating a GcsInput or GcsOutput might fail randomly with "Unable to query location of the bucket" if a bucket with the same name exists on AWS S3. The same may happen for S3Input or S3Output and a bucket with the same name on GCS.

2/14/2023

2.154.0

Added

  • Smart Chunking
    • We completely overhauled the general bitrate distribution in our outputs to prevent quality drops at segment borders thus leading to a smoother playback experience.
    • This optimization is automatically applied to all encodings except when using the following features which will be added over the course of the next releases:

Changed

  • Codec settings for VP9 will now be automatically optimized for Live Encodings.

Known Issues

  • S3 role-based output for segmented muxings: No upload verification available.
  • Creating a GcsInput or GcsOutput might fail randomly with "Unable to query location of the bucket" if a bucket with the same name exists on AWS S3. The same may happen for S3Input or S3Output and a bucket with the same name on GCS.

2/7/2023

2.153.0

Changed

  • We completely overhauled our muxing engine for fMP4 output with codecs H.264, AAC, HE-AAC, and HE-AACv2. For more details about the changes, read this article.

Fixed

  • Manifest segment durations were calculated inaccurately when a concatenation contained fractional and non-fractional framerate changes. Now the segment duration calculation is based on the number of encoded frames.
  • Corrected an issue which lead to Nielsen audio watermarking with multiple output video renditions to not be correctly applied under certain conditions.

Known Issues

  • Live Encodings using fMP4 or Webm muxings could potentially fail after running longer than appr. 6 hours. We highly recommend using the STABLE version or the higher versions (from 2.154.0 onwards) for such encodings.
  • S3 role-based output for segmented muxings: No upload verification available.

1/31/2023

2.152.0

Changed

  • Internal stability improvements

Known Issues

  • S3 role-based output for segmented muxings: No upload verification available.

1/24/2023

2.151.0

Added

Fixed

  • Configuring a lot of muxings sometimes resulted in failed encoding.

Known Issues

  • S3 role-based output for segmented muxings: No upload verification available.

1/17/2023

2.150.0

Changed

  • Internal stability improvements

Known Issues

  • S3 role-based output for segmented muxings: No upload verification available.

Stable

1/10/2023

2.149.0

Changed

  • Usage of conform filter in combination with relaxed concatenation setup (enabled in 2.142.0) is not supported!

Fixed

  • A bug that led to incorrect brightness levels on encodes with DolbyVision inputs using 2 Pass & 3 Pass Encoding. Fail-fast had been added for the impacted encoder versions: 2.137.0 - 2.148.0.
  • For 3-pass H.265 encodings, some resolutions could lead to encoding failures. This is fixed now.

Known Issues

  • S3 role-based output for segmented muxings: No upload verification available.
