  • Commercial Counter window now includes both primary and secondary (graphics, etc.) commercial and promo events calculation in Time Used
  • In-playlist note option added to Event Editor -> Notes. It can be used to add one row comments on video events or groups and will be displayed in the playlist. Color of the text and background for these notes can be customized in Preferences -> Customize.
  • Hotkey buttons are now highlighted with yellow color when pressed. Button will stay highlighted for the whole scheduled duration of a hotkey event or until it is removed with other hotkey event.
  • An option to Color the currently playing event row was added to Preferences -> Options -> List.
  • Added option to Show selection duration in footer in Preferences -> Options -> General. It can be used in the same way as Tools -> Calculate Selection Duration, but the calculation will be displayed in the window footer immediately.
  • Added column for Played Duration, which shows actual played duration of the event after it’s played.
  • Active hour in Commercial Counter is now highlighted with the darker shade of originally present color, depending on the unused time status (green, orange, red).
  • MXF files with 9 audio streams can be played (files with 9 audio streams can be processed in LML, but Player has limitation of 8 audio streams and will play 8).
  • Added option to show a certain number of played events above the currently playing one when Current event on top option is enabled. The number of events can be set in Preferences -> Options -> List. Upper limit is 10 events.
  • Output streaming VBV buffer option was added in Configure and is now configurable. Default value is 0.5, but it can be set up to 10. Values over 4 are not recommended, as 4 is already considered a very large buffer by Nvidia.
  • Option for configurable timing calculation pause (in seconds) before switch was added to oachannel file. Tag is <PauseTimingCalculationBeforeSwitchS> and can be set to a value between 3 and 12 seconds. This feature briefly pauses timing calculations when switching between two events to avoid issued with lengthy playlists.
  • Added option to Allow pasting only once after Cut in playlist. It can be found in Preferences -> Options -> List. It is used to limit the Paste operation only once when cutting an event in the playlist, but for Copy it will continue to work normally (unlimited number of Paste available).
  • Added logging for automatically merging playlists.
  • Improved audio processing with Medialooks.
• Redundancy Manager

• Schedule Importer
  • Improved handling of multiple notifications in automation mode.
  • Automatic audio shuffling rules were added. This option can be found in Edit -> Options -> Custom channel rules.

  • Fixed issue with updating Commercial Counter window on the fly when editing peak times.
  • Fixed issue with IP stream interruption which was happening in rare cases.

  • Fixed issue with events scheduled in Clubland plugin not being added one by one to the playlist.

  • Fixed issue with Expand playlist on load and sync not working correctly when enabled.
  • Fixed issue with objects not being cleared correctly or not being displayed after Resubmit
• Known Issues-Player
  • When using MXF files with 9 audio pairs in them with Matrox readers, files can be played, but not edited if Edit and preview output is used. They can still be edited without the preview output. This works correctly in Player with ML readers option on.
