Notes

Google Compute Engine is now supported in Ubuntu22 with this release.

We’ve deprecated some older ffmpeg builds, and specifying them in your job configuration will result in an error. See below for more details.

• In the Transcode task, we have deprecated older ffmpeg versions prefixed with “hybrik_” when setting encoder_version and ffmpeg_version. These values are still supported:
  3.0, 3.1, 3.1_10bit, 3.1_ex, 3.2, 3.2_10bit, 3.2.4, 3.2.4_8bit, 3.2.4_10bit, 3.3_8bit, 3.3_10bit, 3.4_8bit, 3.4_10bit, 4.0_8bit, 4.0_10bit, 4.2_8bit, 4.2_10bit, head, head_8bit, head_10bit, hybrik_4.2_8bit, hybrik_4.2_10bit, latest_release_8bit, latest_release_10bit
• For decoder_version, only “4.2” and “latest_release” are supported.
• In the Analyze task, we have deprecated all values for analyzer_version except for “hybrik_4.2” and “hybrik_4.2_8bit”, and for decoder_version, we’ve deprecated all values except for “4.2” and “latest_release”
• In the Script task, we’ve deprecated all versions prefixed with “ffmpeg_hybrik_” except for “ffmpeg_hybrik_4.2_8bit” and “ffmpeg_hybrik_4.2_10bit”
