Description
- Major Improvement: Livestream Reconnect improved
From now on it is no longer necessary to have a producing client (Studio / ShowControl) running in order to have a livestream reconnect properly while a live-show is airing. You just need the ShowControl to start a live-show and can keep it closed until the end of your show. If your external encoder disconnects for whatever reason but reconnects within some minutes, our system detects the reconnect and automatically exchanges the old stream with the new stream in all scenes. This will of course work also for your archive.
The system will also keep previously set volume- and global-settings for the new stream. If you use an external encoder like the Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder you just have to make sure, that the stream-name you are publishing stays the same when it reconnects.

- Major Improvement: Faster access to scene-editing
Editing scenes in the Studio should now be possible way faster than before. You will also see a direct change in the availability of livestreams in the scene-editors, when a livestream reconnects or disconnects.

- Major Improvement: Playback of recorded shows
We improved the playback of recorded shows. Playing back a recorded show won't use up all available bandwidth anymore. It also will seek faster.

- General Improvement: Viewer - Bandwidth-Management
If a livestream, encoded with video and audio is only being heard and not seen, the Viewer will only use up the bandwidth needed to stream the audio-part of the stream.

- General Improvement: Viewer - Improved error-handling with livestreams
The Viewer will now identify even more different kind of problems with the playback of livestreams and will try to switch to alternative delivery-ressources.

- General Improvement: Viewer - Improved connection-loss-handling when playing back recorded shows or playlists
If the Viewer recognizes a general problem with the internet-connection while playing back an archived show it will now stop the playback until the internet-connection is available again.

- Fixed Bugs:
- Viewer: Fixed issues with very long playlists.
- Studio: It could happen, that an available livestream was displayed as "not found" all of a sudden in a scene editor.
- Studio: We fixed a bug that had images and objects turn into text.
- Studio: Changes on a text-object were not always stored properly.
- Studio: When a selected library-item was deleted, it was still visible in the object-editor-pane.
- Studio: Changing the aspect-ratio of one livestream could lead to representation errors of the stream in the Studio.
