Summary

This release implements rundown support (managed by new service module Rundown Broker) with fade curves (“route levels”).

A basic version of usage reporting is available now.

Mpeg Audio Layer III (mp3) as recording format is supported for custom templates.

Some less severe issues were fixed.

Setup

New Features

  • Add pdb files and Lame.dll (Mpeg Audio Layer III support)

Service

New Features

  • Implement "routelevels" REST API

  • Implement "usage" API

  • Improved log message in case a relayed subscription isn't accepted by target host (usually this occurs with hosts of an older version)

  • Consider alias, but also jobId passed to REST interfaces markers, metadata, outputswitch, rundown

  • Handle two jobs with same alias (not recommended, but now it always refers to the first created job with same alias)

  • api/jobs: Removed unused query syntax "alias" (without value) to reinterpret a jobId parameter as alias

  • Query filter expressions now support condition terms also in lowercase ("and", "or", "not")

  • API access to service log files

  • Update own hostinfo to non-running when windows system enters sleep mode and wakes up again, so others know if it's available (works only as real service)

Fixed Issues

  • Defective schedule prevents other schedules working

  • Service started altough setting “hostInfo.IsDisabled=false”

  • An active schedule referring to deleted template could block other schedules to be executed

  • api/templates?count didn't respond with { "count": xx"}; fix applies only if nLimit!=1000 to be compatible with older Admin client

  • api/jobs option "LogInfoCount" was not functional

  • Implement a simple way to create MP3 files

  • Extended interface to “Rundown Player” filter for transmission of metadata of currently playing item

  • Implement "RouteLevels" messages and notifications

  • Enable transmission of arbitrary item metadata to/from “Rundown Player” filter

  • Metadata updates originating from a “Rundown Player” are suppressed, when no non-silent routes using that player as input exist

  • Support for "Skipped" state in rundown notifications

  • Implement filter settings change API for VST3 filter

  • Pass "DpeToken" option to DpeWriter filter

Fixed Issues

  • Suppress metadata updates from Rundown Player, if the rundown is "silent"
