Cablecast 4.7.3 Release Notes ========================================================= * Bug 2622 | Internet Explorer incorrectly caches ajax schedule data -Due to the way IE caches ajax calls, you would occasionally see strange behavior in the schedule. This should be resolved by using non-cacheable HTTP requests, and forcing IE to never cache. * Bug 2814 | SX is smarter about scaling or centering video that is not the correct resolution -Previously the SX would scale all video that wasn't the correct resolution. This has been changed to center videos that are within the safe area and scale only videos that are smaller than that. This will improve the quality of output for files that are within the safe area (between 640x480 and 720x480). * Bug 2867 | SX Playback stutters if the drive is fragmented -SX Servers will now perform maintenance on their media storage to ensure optimal performance. The SX Configuration utility now has a screen for configuring when this maintenance occurs. * Bug 2883 | Installer is missing the Transcoder application -The installers will now correctly install the Transcoding application that is required for VOD operation. * Bug 2887 | Database is missing a stored procedure -The default Cablecast40 database now contains the GetChannelName procedure. * Bug 2890 | SX Player has encountered an error and needs to close error -Playback of certain video files would cause the SX to put a message on the system console after they have finished playing. The SX Player now properly cleans up after playback and does not produce this error. * Bug 2891 | SX plays shows late -Certain video files would play late, especially under heavy load, on the SX. The SX has been changed so that it now pre-buffers several seconds of video before the scheduled start time for a run so that it can play back on time. * Bug 2895 | Some non-standard resolution files cause the SXPlayer to crash -Some non-supported video files would cause the SX server to crash. Now, the SX produces better error messages in many cases that indicate that they're not supported files. * Bug 2897 | ChannelIO Page does not check for improper configuration -The 'System Settings.Channels.Channel IO' page is now smarter about which options to present to the user depending on their configuration. * Bug 2907 | Producer list is not sorted -The producer list is now sorted by the producer's name. * Bug 2909 | MoveFile on SX not finding some files -When using the force menu to perform a "MoveFile" on an SX server, the system will now move the correct file. * Bug 2922 | Autopilot creates take events even if it is set to 'no switch' -If an event is manually edited, such that the input is set to "No Switch", the event will now be created correctly when sent. * Bug 2934 | New show screen will allow user to upload files before show has been saved. -It is no longer possible to upload files via the Manage Files link until the show has been saved. * Bug 2936 | Copy and Paste in the schedule will allow illegal paste -A bug existed that allowed you to copy and paste a run into a different location's schedule, which resulted in the pasted run being completely inaccessible. The UI now disallows pasting of runs from different locations. * Bug 2937 | Autopilot shows overwrite error when it shouldn't -Autopilot was incorrectly reporting that files that were encoded by an event in the past would be overwritten if autopilot is resent for that past time. It now only warns about overwriting files for future encodes. * Bug 2938 | Pasting a Manual event causes exception -A database connection was being forcibly closed before we were done using it. We now explicitly create a connection for pasting manual runs.
