1.163.0

Released 2023-06-01

Added

• Manifest Generator V2 is now available for DASH manifests by specifying manifestGenerator=V2 in the DASH Start-Manifest Request. For customers who sign up after June 1st 2023 V2 will be the default manifestGenerator. The minimum encoder version for that feature is 2.121.0. Differences to the LEGACY generator can be found here.
• Added a check for Live encodings to allow ProgramDateTimeSource EMBEDDED only for SRT and ZIXI ingest. Configuring it with RTMP ingest now triggers a fail-fast.

• autoLevelSetup: property for video configurations (h264, h265, av1, vp9) to enable/disable the automatic calculation of level, maximum bitrate, and buffer size based on the lowest level that satisfies maximum property values for picture resolution, frame rate, and bitrate. In the case the target level is set explicitly, the maximum bitrate and buffer size are calculated based on the defined level.
