24.10.0 October 2, 2024 Release

Features and Changes

  1. Exportable Device Info Reports [ENG-396] - Customers required the ability to export device info as a csv (or similar) from inside our app interface. We have created an exportable report that now can improve advertising list-matching tasks to identify all devices with locations, and helps with troubleshooting.
  2. Playlist Folder-ing Permissions Change [ENG-491] - Previously some accounts were using a configuration of the playlist folder-ing and permissions where a parent folder allowed users view only access, while sub-folders gave users edit access for specific sub-folders. Because of this it was not possible for those users to edit any playlists residing in the sub-folders. Now it is possible for users to edit playlists in any sub-folder with permissions.
  3. Increase Trial Account to 30 Days [ENG-858] - We have increased trial accounts from the current 14 days to 30 days for potential customers to get more time to evaluate our product.
  4. Device Report API: Support New Media Parameter for Played Records [ENG-869] - We have added a new media object to facilitate recording media file playback independently.
  5. Removing Credit Cards/ Switching to Invoiced does not Change Subscription Settings [ENG-736] - Previously could occur if a customer removed a credit card from their account from within the TelemetryTV app. This has been corrected and our payment service correctly adjusts the subscription payment settings.
  6. Remove "SmartRoom" app, Google Calendar Integration and Scopes [ENG-699] - We have removed the SmartRoom app from our player as it has been deprecated for some time, as well as removed Google Calendar integration (due to changes from Google making it deprecated in our product), which was used by the SmartRoom app.
  7. Export & Import Playlist Templates [ENG-768] - We have added the ability to import and export templates for Playlists.
  8. There is a new button next to the + button in the template list to open a file browser to select a saved template.
  9. Another button is added to the right of the background icon to download the template as a .json file.
  10. Rename Playlists to Pages in Playlists Tab [ENG-835] - We have renamed the Playlists tab to Pages for user clarity.
  11. Homepage Refactor [ENG-837] - We have refactored the homepage for better user control and functionality:
    1. The list of video tutorials now scrolls vertically on the page.
    2. All parts of the page are responsive and scale as needed.
    3. The Buy a Device video has been updated to include the Droid-1 and also plays the TOS Box video.
    4. The TelemetryTV device store has been added to the page.
    5. Hardware Setup Guides has been updated to go to the support by device help page.
    6. Translate Droid-1 Model [ENG-853] - In our device settings we previously were displaying old text for our new Droid-1 device. We have updated this to correctly display the Droid-1 model information for CPU Model (RK3568), Device Manufacturer (TelemetryTV), and Device Model (Droid-1). We also added a new Device Product Version (1.0.7.5).

Fixes

  1. Reseller plan billing Improvements [ENG-544]

    1. An edge case was present that made it possible for a under-billing to occur on some invoices. We have now made adjustments to improve the handling of Reseller billing.
  2. Video causing storage error, which is appearing in playlist editor [ENG-688]

    1. An error was displaying in the playlist editor, when previewing single videos. It was displayed for devices with insufficient storage space, and has been corrected.
  3. Calculate button fails to compute time for media/video folder with corrupted video [ENG-824]

    1. When using the Calculator button on a video that is corrupted, it was not calculating the total video time, when it should either give a message about the presence of a corrupt video or calculate the total time without the corrupt video included. The calculator button now works correctly to calculate the video time.
  4. Investigate Why Some Videos' First Chunk (10MB) Has Zero Buffer [ENG-919]

    1. The functionality of the re-transcode button has been optimized to fix a larger variety of videos.

  6. Google tag manager running on js_user [ENG-861]

    1. Google tag manager (GTM) was previously located inside js_user but is not needed for any operations, so it was removed.
  7. Selecting all devices not working when an organization/playlist is selected [ENG-885]

    1. Previously selecting all devices within an organization was causing the batch update functionality to not work as intended. Now when selecting a large number of devices for an organization, they can be updated as intended.
  8. Devices displaying Play Button [ENG-886]

    1. When devices were waiting for video data, playback may have stalled for a period of time. We have now corrected this issue.
  9. Download device list contains duplicates and is missing some devices [ENG-894]

    1. The downloaded device list could contain duplicates or be missing a device. All unique devices should be included in the device list, and has been corrected so that only unique devices are listed.
  10. FireTV devices not displaying live screenshots, showing "Screenshot unavailable" on devices page [ENG-548]

    1. We have updated FireTV devices so that the message "Screenshot unavailable" is not displayed on the devices page. Screenshots are not currently supported by FireTV devices, so the messaging is not needed.
  11. Playback Issue [ENG-806]

    1. Specific advanced configurations for media folders and pages used simultaneously were causing some devices to not advance from playlist pages for extended durations.
  12. Quality Assurance (QA) Media Player Environment reset password link is sending out the production reset password link instead of the QA link. [ENG-812]

    1. The QA reset password link was sending the production reset password link and has been fixed.
  13. Weatherbit 400 Errors [ENG-813]

    1. It was possible to receive a 400 error from Weatherbit when invalid information was entered. We have improved the error handling and informs users when an invalid location is entered.
  14. Playback no longer stalls on images under edge case conditions [ENG-818]

    1. Some devices were playing content longer than the set duration for media items. This occurred when a large amount of specific content management configurations were used, and conflicted.
  15. Droid-1 is not Displaying Live Screenshots [ENG-855]

    1. When attaching a playlist to a Droid-1 device, live screenshots were not displaying on the device list and screenshot tabs. This has been corrected and now displays as intended.
