Control SCTE-35 segmentation types for Dynamic Ad Insertion
You can now select which SCTE-35 segmentation types should trigger ad insertions when using Ad Replacement in DAI services, as well as those to be removed from the manifest after processing. This offers more granular control over ad signaling, ensuring compatibility with downstream workflows and a cleaner output stream.
You can configure this behavior via the API or directly in the WebApp:
Timeseries charts for consumption metrics
We’ve enhanced the billing dashboard with timeseries charts for each of the six consumption metrics. You can now visualize usage trends over the past 6 months, making it easier to monitor and anticipate billing-related activity at a glance:
🚀 New Adaptive Streaming CDN application
The Adaptive Streaming CDN application is now generally available (WebApp & API). This new capability allows you to create and manage CDN distributions tailored for your streaming services.
Highlights include:
Custom domain name management: Add and configure your own hostnames, with SSL certificate support, including automatic provisioning via Let’s Encrypt or the ability to bring your own certificate (BYOC).
Geo-blocking: Restrict content delivery based on geographic location using a country deny list.
Referrer management: Control access with an allow list or deny list of HTTP referrers.
Token protection: Secure your distributions with token-based authentication.
1-click setup from Ad Insertion services: Easily create and link a CDN distribution to an existing Ad Insertion service.
Adaptive Streaming CDN is now available to all users. For full API usage, see the API documentation.
Support of HLS discontinuity sequences (EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY-SEQUENCE)
We’ve introduced support for the EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY-SEQUENCE tag in HLS manifests to provide enhanced synchronization between different variant streams or different renditions of the same variant stream.
This feature is now applied by default for all new tenants created after June 2nd, 2025.
For existing tenants who would like to benefit from this feature, HLS Discontinuity Sequences can be activated by reaching out to the Customer Success team at broadpeak.io or by submitting a request via the chatbot. Our team will assist in enabling this functionality on your services to ensure smooth integration.
Default audio channel layout set to stereo for inserted ads
When the audio channel layout isn’t defined in your original content, we configure by default the value of the ad audio channel to stereo.
New "Read only" grant profile for API keys
You can know create API key with read only profile. You will have to select the grants associated with the key:
Addition of ad impressions metric
We added a new consumption metric for ad impressions. You can find it directly in the webapp dashboard:
You will also have it when you call the Consumption API.
Improvement of the configuration of our Ad server parameters
We recognized that it was not so easy in the past to configure Ad Macros and other query parameters in the Ad Server source creation.
As a result we redesigned the configuration in both the webapp and API.
Please see our knowledge center article for more details.
Relative URLs in the location header in the redirections
Historically, broadpeak.io was setting by default the value of the Location header in the response to be root-relative. This was working in a majority of situations, including when going through a CDN. However there are situations in which the path of the streaming URL through the CDN starts with elements that are not linked to the source URL, and therefore not handled by the player. In such cases, you can configure the Service (through the WebApp or APIs) to use relative URLs instead.
Please see our knowledge center article for more details.
AC3 support for ad transcoding
We now support AC3 as an audio codec output for the ads that we transcode and package on behalf of our customers.
