Exciting news for all streaming enthusiasts and professionals! Ceeblue has just released Update 1.7.1 for their Media Fabric, and it’s packed with enhancements and new features that promise to elevate your streaming experience to new heights. Here’s a rundown of what to expect:
1. Unlimited Sessions for Private Streams
Say goodbye to session limits for private streams. With the new update, setting the sessionLimit to -1 allows for unlimited sessions. The default session limit is set at 40, and a maximum limit can be set up to 100, offering more flexibility in managing private streams.
2. Reduced Elevated Port Usage
In response to compatibility issues in restricted networks, such as corporate environments, Ceeblue has modified API calls for Resource URIs to exclude elevated ports. This means goodbye to port 4433, ensuring smoother operation across different network setups.
3. Custom CMAF Timescale
The Media Fabric now allows you to specify a custom timescale for CMAF-push output tracks. This feature is applicable to audio, video, and timed metadata tracks, offering enhanced control over your streaming content.
4. Enhanced Closed Captioning Support
Update 1.7.1 brings added support for CTA-608 and CTA-708 Closed Captioning for RTMP and SRT protocols. This is a significant step forward in making content more accessible and inclusive.
5. SCTE-35 Marker Support
The implementation of SCTE-35 markers in RTMP and SRT protocols is a game-changer for ad insertion and content segmentation, providing more opportunities for monetization and content customization.
6. Added “#EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME” Tag for HLS Output
The integration of this tag in HLS output enhances stream metadata and synchronization capabilities. This feature is crucial for live streaming events where accurate timing is essential.
7. Support for AMF ‘onFI’ Timecode Messages in RTMP
With this addition, time synchronization and metadata handling in RTMP streams have been significantly improved, offering a more seamless streaming experience.
8. Enhancements in HESP Implementation
Ceeblue’s commitment to staying at the forefront of streaming technology is evident with several improvements in the HESP (High Efficiency Streaming Protocol) implementation. These enhancements ensure better compatibility with Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).
9. Snapshot Request via HTTP Redirect
In a move to streamline operations, snapshot requests will now return an HTTP 301 Redirect to the designated resource, instead of the snapshot directly. This change simplifies the process and enhances security.
10. Node Group Resource Callback
A new feature has been added for callbacks when a persistent or allocated Resource (Node) changes. This feature requires activation through a request via email, including the callback URI.
This update is a testament to Ceeblue’s dedication to providing cutting-edge streaming solutions. Each feature in Update 1.7.1 has been carefully crafted to address the evolving needs of streamers and content providers. The enhancements in network compatibility, content accessibility, synchronization, and protocol support are set to offer a more robust, efficient, and inclusive streaming experience.
