HLS SSAI Updates

•  Ensure discontinuity sequence tracking over time is correct in all cases for slate ad insertion

May 9th, 2025

Encoder Updates

•  Added additional checks for corrupted encode segment duration data

May 8th, 2025

DASH SSAI Updates

• Improved handling of availabilityStartTime for DRM protected stream encoding.
• Modified logic of break creation for picking segments based on creation duration to account for divergent video and audio segment lengths.

HLS SSAI Update

• Ensure slate ad insertions have appropriate init files in all cases for all FMP4 streams

April 16th, 2025

DASH SSAI Update

• Account for audio segment duration discrepancies when building new periods for manually inserted breaks to ensure proper timing of subsequent periods.

April 15th, 2025

DASH SSAI Update

• Ensure manual InStream ads will not be processed when they are inserted with the exact same timestamp as a SCTE break in the source stream. As always the SCTE break takes precedence to any manual inserts and this release specifically addresses a manifest writing issue when they had the same start time in a DASH stream.

Encoder Update

• Detect init files that get created with an incorrect mehd box during encoding. The presence of this extra box occurs very rarely but can cause crashes in certain players. This fix also guards generally against any corrupted init files in the FMP4 encode pipeline.

DASH SSAI Update

• Handle out of sync closed caption adaptation sets in source streams when creating new periods for ad breaks.

DASH SSAI Update

• Handle out of sync trick play adaptation sets when creating new periods for ad breaks. Sometimes a source packager trick play lags behind the video and audio streams causing timing calculations to change and be incorrect over time. This change ensures such divergence will not result in inconsistent manifest rendering.
