Encoding Encoder Releases
Beta
2/21/2019
2.12.3
Added
- Enabled Live-to-VoD for Zixi ingest streams
Fixed
- Fixed a bug where encodings could fail when trimming is applied in combination with long GOP sizes of the input file
- Fixed decoding of JPEG2000 assets where our encoder detected a wrong source FPS
- Improved turnaround time of 3pass encodes when doing lots of encodes in parallel
Known Issues
- Per-Title encodings only work with GCS, S3 or Akamai NetStorage output
- VP9 in combination with 3-pass does not hit the target bitrate, please use 2-pass instead

2.12.2
Fixed
- Fixed an issue where an upload to Akamai NetStorage failed. The initialization for calculating the MD5 hash crashed when uploading a large amount of files concurrently.
Known Issues
- Per-Title encodings only work with GCS, S3 or Akamai NetStorage output
- VP9 in combination with 3-pass does not hit the target bitrate, please use 2-pass instead

frameSelectionMode
on the deinterlace filter)
Fixed

2.11.0
Added
- Redundant RTMP input
- Per-Title with fixed resolutions and bitrates constraints
- Improved error messages when downloading of subtitle files fail

- Added support for multiple audio streams in Broadcast TS muxings
Fixed
- Improved download speed from S3 storages with role-based authentication
- Reduced delay of writing backup packets for live streams with RTMP ingest
- Fixed a/v sync issue for H.264 files that contain open as well as closed GOPs

Known Issues
- Per-Title encodings only work with GCS or S3 output
- VP9 in combination with 3-pass does not hit the target bitrate, please use 2-pass instead
- Visible decoding errors could occur for RTMP ingests
