Changelog

It is now possible to create, list, update and delete categories from the webapp (using the dedicated menu entry Categories).

It is now possible to manage Content Replacement and Virtual Channel slots with our brand new scheduler. You can:

• view slots in a calendar on a daily basis (2 filters, date and categories)
• view slots in a list on a daily basis (2 filters, date and categories)
• create additional slots with the following improvements:
• set the day of the startTime (no longuer limited to the current day)
• choose between duration or endTime
• set a category

→ 2 ways to access the scheduler (only for Content Replacement and Virtual Channel services)

• by clicking on the calendar ("Manage slots") icon on the services list (see following picture)
• by clicking on the "Manage slot button" on the preview page

ESNI API (SCTE-224)

We have optimized this API to avoid creating new slots in the following cases:

• When only the end time of an in progress slot is changed. We simply extend the duration of the slot in this case.


• When the replacement content is identical to the original source, which is equivalent to no replacement.

Check status API

We now return an error when the CODECS attribute is missing in a variant tag of a HLS master manifest, for a live, asset or asset catalog source.

This attribute is required by broadpeak.io to check the compatibility of variants when performing HLS manifest manipulation. Please see our Knowledge Center for more details.

Therefore, it is no longer possible to create such a source.

We now validate connectivity to ad servers before creating them.

The user-agent of the client is forwarded to the ad server in this process.

We have added the possibility to set the end time instead of the duration of a slot. One of them is required and they are mutually exclusive. More details in our API reference.

This application was deprecated 4 months ago and removed from the WebApp 1 month ago. It is no longer documented in the API Reference and will be completely removed in the coming days. Please use the Content Replacement application to address the blackout use case.

It is now possible to have several asset catalogs with the same path, as long as they have different samples. This is especially useful if you have DASH and HLS content in the same location.

The source analysis API now returns the list of representations (DASH) or variants (HLS) in the body of the response. They are not displayed in the WebApp.

We have added the possibility of defining query parameters sent to the service, to personalize the content.

We have aligned the asset catalog preview with other previews, to show the unmodified asset on the left.

You can now create up to 20 API keys through the WebApp.
