REST API Services 1.200.0 - 1.215.0

1.215.0

Released 2024-12-17

Changed

  • Internal stability improvements

1.214.0

Released 2024-12-10

Added

  • When configured to be dynamic, prewarmed encoder pools now have a maximum size of 10 instances. This will be enforced the first time the pool adapts its usage.

1.213.0

Released 2024-12-03

Added

  • Improved error feedback when Encoding Template execution fails.
  • Accelerated mode is now supported in the following Azure regions: EUROPE_WEST, US_EAST2, CANADA_CENTRAL, US_EAST, US_WEST, JAPAN_EAST, GERMANY_WESTCENTRAL, EUROPE_NORTH, US_WEST2, AUSTRALIA_EAST.

1.212.0

Released 2024-11-19

Changed

  • The LiveEdgeOffset property for HlsManifests in Live Encoding now supports values smaller than the segment length, allowing settings down to 0.

1.211.0

Released 2024-11-12

Added

  • Encoding Templates can now be managed with these new API endpoints: store, list, details and delete
  • Encoding Templates now support customData fields for any resource
  • Using dolbyVisionInputStream as an input for a timeBasedTrimmingInputStream is supported now

1.210.0

Released 2024-10-29

Changed

  • Internal stability improvements

1.209.0

Released 2024-10-22

Added

  • Implemented rollover behaviour for TimecodeTrackTrimming for which the end time code of the input exceeds the 24h format. E.g., a configured trimming start time code of 00:00:00.000 would be interpreted as 24:00:00.000 for an input with a start time code of 23:59:45.000 and an end time code of 24:10:00.000.

1.208.0

Released 2024-10-15

Added

  • Added seamless support for integrating Akamai Object Storage as both an Input source (for VOD) and an Output destination (for both VOD and LIVE products). Check out Bitmovin dashboard for an easy setup or read through our documentation.

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where encodings could potentially run out of disk space when processing DolbyVisionInputStreams with input files larger than approximately 500GB. This update ensures smooth processing for large input files.

1.207.0

Released 2024-10-02

Added

  • "resolutionScaleFactor" is now available on all pertitleStartConfigurations. With this parameter it is possible to influence the Per-Title results of the lower part of the Per-Title ladder. For negative values, Per-Title will start off with smaller resolutions. For positive values, Per-Title will start of with higher resolutions.

1.206.1

Released 2024-09-26

Changed

  • The maxrate and bufsize requirement on the H265/HEVC Codec Configuration in case of Per-Title + Dolby Vision output has been relaxed and is now not required to be set for Per-Title. Instead codecMaxBitrateFactor and codecBufsizeFactor are now required to be set to the h265PertitleStartConfiguration in case of Per-Title + Dolby Vision output. With this, the combination of Per-Title + Dolby Vision output + hrd parameter (needed for Dolby Vision) is now working as intended.

1.206.0

Released 2024-09-24

Changed

  • Internal stability improvements

1.205.0

Released 2024-09-17

Changed

  • Improved reporting in case an encoding fails to provide more information about the failure. Specifically:
    • errors when initializing the hardware encoding context
    • wrong or missing permissions when uploading output to S3 storage
    • missing start code in input video streams preventing decoding
  • It is now a requirement for Dolby Vision encodings to set maxBitrate and bufsize on the H265/HEVC Codec Configuration

1.204.0

Released 2024-09-10

Added

  • Added support for HLS manifest creation with WebVtt muxed in FMP4.

Fixed

  • Fixed wrong AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH and BANDWIDTH attributes for HLS I-frame playlists ( EXT-X-I-FRAME-STREAM-INF ) generated with manifest generator V2.
