This is a small release that brings a few important improvements. Here are the highlights. Dramatically Reduced Transcoding CPU Usage New "just in time" HLS transcoding will dramatically reduce cpu utilization after the initial client buffering period. You'll now be able to enjoy more simultaneous streams and have more peace of mind about your server's resource consumption. The apps that will benefit from this are the mobile web client, Android, Android TV, Fire TV, Chromecast, Windows 8.1, and iOS (coming soon). Faster Video Start and Seek Response Times You'll notice this in almost every app, with faster, more accurate seeking. Improved Transcoding Image Quality We've cleaned up our HLS streams further by eliminating the first few seconds of artifacts that have been previously visible at the start of the video, as well as after seeking. New Video Player OSD The OSD for the web client video player has been revamped, allowing in-playback access to important information, scene selection, and more. Improved Internet Explorer Playback The web client in IE will now finally enjoy the full feature set that users have been accustomed to with other browsers. That means the new OSD, improved seeking, and more. New Slide Down Menus The web client also has new slide down menus will give you quick access to the most important features without having to navigate and switch context.
