1.247 (8/1/2023)

NOTE

1.247 will be removed from all environments on August 28, 2023 due to a regression (see Known Issues below). Please use version 1.248+ instead. 1.247 will remain available in demo/dev environments for testing purposes.

Features

• Added support for displaying event times in analysis PDF results using time code values
• Added MD5 checksum and duplicate frame analysis result to PDF report outputs if they are enabled in the analysis task
• Updated libx265 to v3.5

Fixes

• Resolved issue where applying a speed change and pitch correction to discrete audio tracks could cause them to be out of phase
• Resolved issue where jobs with out-of-bound trims could cause tasks to stall rather than fail with error
• Resolved error when converting STL to TTML when the source has a large start time code offset
• Resolved issue where SCTE35 markers could be missing when creating video-only targets
• Resolved error when using segmented rendering with a source that has a large PTS offset
• Resolved error when creating Smooth Streaming packaged outputs with some language labels
• Resolved issue where HTTP sources with filenames containing url-encoded spaces would not have the spaces decoded when using {source_basename}
• Resolved issue with drawtext ffmpeg filter rendering Hindi characters incorrectly

Additionally, 1.247 includes a change to the channel_designators used in general_properties results and transcode tasks. Starting with this release, “Ls” and “Rs” will be labeled as “left_surround” and “right_surround” (formerly “left_side” and “right_side”).

Known Issues

• Specifying custom language tags using exact: causes an error when creating DASH packages
• Regression where audio track routing is handled incorrectly for certain multitrack sources (observed on 12-track sources, but may affect other configurations)
