## 1.165.0

Released 2023-06-20

**Fixed**

  • For Live Encodings, when using `AesEncryptionDrm` with a specified `keyFileUri`, the keyFile was not properly uploaded to the designated output. This has been fixed.



## 1.164.0

Released 2023-06-06

  • Internal stability improvements



## 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.

  • Added a check for Live encodings to allow `ProgramDateTimeSource EMBEDDED` only with ManifestGenerator V2. Configuring it with ManifestGenerator LEGACY will now result in a fail-fast.



## 1.162.0

  • Internal stability improvements.



## 1.161.0

Released 2023-05-16

**Added**

  • An option to configure the source of _ProgramDateTime_ for [Live HLS manifests](🔗). Supported sources are SYSTEM_CLOCK (default, using UTC time of segment written) and EMBEDDED (using the first UTC timecode in the source video stream and current date).

In the case the target level is set explicitly, the maximum bitrate and buffer size are calculated based on the defined level. The _autoLevelSetup_ is enabled by default and is automatically disabled if the maximum bitrate or buffer size is set.
