Cablecast 5.3.8 Release Notes
=========================================================

                                                        * Bug 8810 | Cablecast Web Service AdvancedShowSearch incorrectly filters event dates by time
-Fixed an issue where the Cablecast Web Service's AdvancedShowSearch method would incorrectly filter event dates by time of day.

                * Bug 8932 | SXConfiguration application shows 'stopped' status when in Test mode
-The SXConfiguration application now shows 'bars and tone' in the status field while Test mode is active.

      * Bug 8933 | It's hard to infer the relationship between the 'Test' and 'Play' modes of the SXConfiguration application
-The SXConfiguration application no longer allows a user to simultaneously use 'Test' and 'Play' mode of a given output channel.  You must now stop playback in order to use the 'Test' function.

                          * Bug 9026 | Scheduled Encodes do not always stop as expected
-Resolved an issue that would prevent scheduled encodes from stopping as expected when the user fails to provide a file name.

                * Bug 9052 | Improve Autopilot error message when a device isn't available for a scheduled record
-The error message is now much easier to understand.

      * Bug 9089 | Digital File Management reports "everything is wrong" if it fails to get information about a file
-Digital File Management will now log a helpful error message if it completely fails to process a file.  In previous versions, it would log that every aspect of the file was wrong.

                                                                  * Bug 9224 | Automatic database backups are never deleted from local storage
-The local copies of automatic database backups are now periodically deleted.  This will prevent them from eventually filling the drive.

                * Bug 9262 | ChyTV DSK fails to work if reverse DNS is incorrectly configured
-Resolved an issue that would prevent the ChyTV DSK application from functioning when reverse DNS is incorrectly configured, and the server's address is specified as an IP address.

      * Bug 9280 | Files disappear and reappear if the user uses incorrect slashes in their PortSetting field
-Use of "incorrect" slashes ('/') in PortSetting paths will no longer cause files to repeatedly disappear and reappear in Digital File Management.

                                    * Bug 9409 | VOD player fails to enter full screen mode in Safari
-Resolved an issue that was preventing full screen mode from working correctly in Safari.

      * Bug 9465 | VOD processing sometimes fails due to an error while transferring files
-Fixed an issue that could lead to VOD repeatedly failing to transfer files from the video server.

      * Bug 9479 | 'Preparing Source Files' VOD transcoding step should prefer content on local drives
-VOD will now favor files that are located on a particular server's local drive.  This prevents an issue that could occur when the same file is also available over a network share from a second server.

      * Bug 9480 | VOD 'Transcode' step can get stuck forever
-The transcode operation will now be cancelled if the transcoder application fails to report status for over two minutes.  This prevents specific files from derailing VOD transcoding.

      * Bug 9488 | Transcoded VOD files don't respect override aspect ratio
-VOD transcoding now uses the user-defined override aspect ratio setting.

      * Bug 9494 | Fill Gaps batch function doesn't use Start Date and Start Time as you might expect
-The Fill Gaps batch function now starts filling gaps at the user-specified start date and time, and continues until the user-defined end date and time.  Previously, it would only fill gaps that occurred after the start time on each and every day.

                * Bug 9547 | Digital File Management doesn't sort processing files
-The Digital File Management function now sorts the list of processing files based on their ShowID from highest to lowest.  This should allow newer files to be processed before older files.

      * Bug 9548 | Audio Sync Issues on Older iOS devices viewing live stream
-Adjusted an audio encoding parameter to eliminate audio sync issues with older iOS devices.

                          * Bug 9561 | Files named with invalid characters sit in the processing tab in DFM indefinitely 
-Resolved an issue that caused files that contained invalid characters in the file name from leaving the 'Processing' state in Digital File Management.
