Known Limitations/Problems: - If you delete a entry in Mplay which is in front of the actual playing file and the actual playing file name is twice in the event, it's possible that mplay catch the wrong one. - The File repeat function does only work on files without in/out points - If you use files shorter than 5 seconds at the end of an event, make sure that "Auto cue next file" is shorter then this file. - Single file in a break and as next does follow a floating event. The "Auto cue next file" needs to be shorter then length of the shortest single file. - PE2: if there are audio/video synchronisation issues of certain files, configure in Options/Boards/Playback Engine/others/mFormats Decoder Logic to "old" save configuration and restart Mplay - If there are audio drop outs when playing large crawl or picture sequence in CG verify that Overlay Threading is enabled. (since 5.9.6.28 if enabled even default is selected.

If enabled and the source is a transport/program stream then all audio pid's of the selected program stream are decoded and added to the channel mapping. - If in the board tab a panic input is defined a panic button added on main user interface. If pressed it does switch the router to the predefined input AND does disable external control (so no further router instructions or other instructions are sent) With pressing the restore external control button panic mode is disabled. - HW acceleration drop down for decoding in the Board/Others tab updated. - Fps in capture tab and source tab might keept showing 0,00 in certain region settings. - PlaylistEditor if drag and drop of files on the event tree, the EventEditor does open so a new event can be created and then the dropped files will be added to that event. - Source might showing black OnAir, if source was not enabled before going OnAir. Notice: even it is not needed anymore to have it enabled it is prefered to do so, because depending of source type it can take a while until the source has stable picture. for example if the source is a live stream it may delay to going to air couple seconds. - Wild char in Filename is now working without having "Search with wild char" enabled - Drawing speed of playlist improved. - if EAS audio is activated but the source was not enabled already, the main output audio might staggered if mainout was 720p - Audio map TTS SOM/EOM added - "On stop set background" option improved. - If Mixer is enabled, per default sync mode is now on default which means "enabled" it was used to be disabled. if there are issues noticed change it back to disable, save the setting and restart Mplay. - in Break tab "Use SCTE 35 triggers" checkbox added. - Search type drop box added in the importer for file check function. - Lite SD software type added. if Lite SD is selected, it is only possible to select SD resolutions for playback. - improvement of live duration detection raised some compatiblity issues in 6.0.6.18. use 6.0.6.19 or newer. - improved live duration detection.

Now when the source is closed, the last configuration is instantly reloaded to make sure correct configuration is loaded. - if 3rd party logfile format was not found and not "None" selected, it could cause serious delay when writing the logfiles. - Added StreamingStart and StreamingStop command to ip protocol. In case of multichannel of Mplay or several streaming configurations, the command can be used like streamingstop,2,3 means instruction is for channel 2 and streaming 3. - If Mplay was started on secondary monitor the capture configuration was not visible. - Timecode format drop down added in the board configuration. This does only work for SDI output of Decklink and Deltacast cards. - Synchronized playback, resume improved. - Synchronized playback, if seeking is used on channel 1 it will also seek all other channels. - In multichannel enviroment and source is used as background, init was not working properly on application start. - In ImportUser.cfg the parameters CartNrDatabaseName and CartNrDatabaseFormat added 6.0.5.0 (2017-04-05) - Compiler update - Encoders/Decoders updated - SendTo instruction may raised an exception. - Synchronized playback could fail. - Multi channel capture panel added - CartNrDatabaseName and CartNrDatabaseFormat parameter added to ImportUsers.cfg - CC in SegmentEditor was not showing, even if it was enabled in Tool/Config PE2 - Create support logfile does not block user interface anymore. - SDK updated - beta of iTX protocol in playlist importer - Return path enable/disable thru Monitoring software - Restart of a stream which is live on the fly thru Monitoring software. - Start of sources does not block user interface anymore - In Windows 10, Mplay did not restore the left position of windows/forms correct, if the position was below 0. But because windows 10 has a invisible border of 7 frames, if a window is moved to top left it is actually -7,0 and NOT 0,0 ridiculous. But in case of interested why that is, look up with a web search engine DWMWA_EXTENDED_FRAME_BOUNDS - Capture start/stop does not block user interface anymore - Exception in PlaylistCopy thread Metadatachangedatabase. - in Metadata Manager a right click in the system tab it is possible to configure "interlace override" per file. - Virtual Out does now use the channel name configured in the board tab or is called MplayVirtualOut with the channel number. - Audio jukebox improvements - in status protocol, return value of the total running time and the total played time were not properly updating. - LiveBug on secondary slave channel might not showing. - PlaylistEditor does show and use correct start frames if frames are used in the time events. 6.0.4.0 (2017-02-12) - SDK updated - Aspect ratio detection improved. - Changes in "Mute main audio as long as EAS pin is active" - Disabled of audio level meters might kept a black window visible. - SegmentEditor audio level meter is now possible to configure outside of the video window. the setting is saved with "Save window parameter" in the main menu of the PlaylistEditor. - Audio Channels added to right click on video files. with that it is possible to select which audio channels should be used. channels start at 0. for example if the original file does have two audio channels, but they need to be available on channel 2 and 3 as well then change the value to 0,1,0,1. If the original file does have several audio languages but just language of CH 2 and 3 is needed then change the value to 2,3. - Prefetch of a file with no metadata does now automatically analyse such a file, so the playlist is updated correctly. - Checkbox in EAS "Mute main audio as long as EAS pin is active" - Checkbox in EAS settings, to keep EAS audio passing enabled and EAS crawl up until EAS audio is below the configured level for the configured duration. - EAS and EAS TTS audio source selection items where might doubled listed. - Save of Metadata in the Metadata Manager didn't save into the prefetch folder. - Since 6.0.3.10 in case of prefetch was enabled, the metadata was refreshed too often which could cause the cursor to stay in hourglass. - Watchdog Advisory timeout was correct applied in case of EAS Advisory - Resume from remote system was not working properly since 6.0.3.2 - Big clock added for clip time code - Timing issue in case of resume play in progress and the system was already playing. - Auto uncue of Livestream added if central monitoring can't reached within configureable time. - "LiveBugMode" parameter added to IP protocol - Substitute table added in the directory tab.

Also if file is same file is replaced it will trigger an on the fly update. - "Check Monitoring" warning in Monitoring software was not working properly in case of multichannel systems because Mplay did report wrong value. - While Mplay is updating there is a file created called UpdateInProgress. The file will be deleted when Mplay is started after the update. - Livestream or live source might stopped up to 500ms too late if used with a duration in the playlist. - Added memory only possiblity in source delay configuration. Very helpful in case Mplay is used for profanity or CC text correction delay. - If Livestream was cued, still pictures where not working anymore as always the Livestream was showing instead. - Support for using a redistributed live feed instead the original feed. Does save internet bandwith if internally redistributed live feed is used. - Support for redistributing a receiving live feed over decklink or NDI. - Support for several channels using the main live source. - Support for several HD/SD at the same time on one computer. - Minimum live duration added at InsertDirectory and InsertPlaylist instruction. - It could happen that the frames too early error was raised but it was false alarm. 6.0.3.0 (2016-11-18) - Compiler update - SDK updated - If join to macro was enabled, delayed instructions where joined into the macro as well, which then made the instruction to fail as it was not executed on the configured time. - Using of Macro in the Instant Access Panel the name parameter was not working properly. - RSS feeds are now read as UTF8 per default. - in AsRunUser.cfg if column name not found then it is used to search as parameter in the playlist item. - in AsRunUser.cfg at Columns name RunDateTime added - in AsRunUser.cfg %CH#% can used at FilePre and FileExt parameter. - IfNOAccurateFileFoundUseLastFound value in ImportsUser.cfg.

Might check after the update that the DLLs in Mplay's system folder are accurate. If unsure, simply make the MplayUpdate again. - In DTMF Tab the Checkbox configuration does now get saved and restored - In Board Tab "Duration recalc on open" added. If enabled it may can help on strange files to get the correct file length. The disadvantage is that might opening of files takes longer. - In Board Tab "CC embed in files and streams" checkbox. It es enabled per default. - In configuration tab windows, checkbox "Upgraded System" added. If enabled, and Windows build 1607 or newer is installed from scratch, the driver signature verification is disabled even if secure boot is enabled in the motherboard bios.

(Mplay can talk with 32 and 64bit of MplayAccel.exe) - VGA: at end of play exception. - VGA: still pictures where not sliding. - PE2: CG object was attached even if no CG was enabled in the configuration. - PE2: 24/7 capture might didn't start automatically correct and restart of stream/capture might cause freeze of application. - PE2: if cueing of a file did took longer than the pre cue time the already played file was played again and then new cued file was played. Now the already played file is not played again but there will be black and a minor error message is written to the log that disk/networks speed should be checked and/or pre cue time increased. - If Mplay did analyze a file, the last analyzed file was not released until another one was analyzed. - InsertDirectory the Include SubDirs checkbox is replaced with a drop down with "no subdirs","Include Subdirs" and "one file per subdir" selection - If number of visible events was higher than 1 and if there where many files with no metadata, it could happen that the exact event was delayed to happen until that files where analyzed. - PE2: If livestreams are used, they were not pre cued and the video file after the live stream was not pre cued neither. Which could cause to quite many black frames especially if not using SSD's for the files. - PE2: SDK downgraded to that one which still compatible with 9.8 Decklink drivers. - PE2: if FadeOut was 0 the exact event was not working properly. - PE2: Preview window on desktop in case of NTSC 16:9 and PAL 16:9 was wrong aspect ratio - PE2: 3840x2160@50p,3840x2160@59.94p,3840x2160@60p,4096x2160@50p,4096x2160@59.94p,4096x2160@60p added. Notice: if DCI or 3D resolutions are used, they need to be reconfigured after updated, as the index is shifted by 3 respectively 6. - SegmentEditor might showing a black window on top of the video window. - SegmentEditor might crashing when closing certain type of files. - PE2: SDK downgraded (On Windows 7 Version 5.9.6.29 and 30 might closed instantly on start, to restore functionality extract the update manually, replace all files if it asks to and delete MplayNew.New after extraction) - PE2: EAS audio source might was not able to select, if router option was not activated. - PE2: Overlay Thread is now enabled on default setting - PE2: In capture "Max Age" added. If the value is larger than 0 then every time when a capture is started or file switched then all files which are older than the value are deleted. the value is in days and can be like: 1.5 which means files older than 1.5 days will be deleted. - Button "Audio loss warnings" button added in the Source window, which simply does open the popup menu which is in the source monitor. But might the source monitor is currently not open so this is a short cut to configure the alarms or restart of source if no audio is received. - Adjustments for Windows 10. Auto start can now selected to use Registry combined with task, so that it is possible to keep UAC enabled but Mplay still started as Admin so it is able to change the clock. Notice, we strongly suggest to use the Monitoring software to sync the time. which means, that actually the monitoring software should have the "Run as administrator" checked in the compatibility settings of the Control.exe. - In enhanced mode of the configuration there is now a tab called Windows. There are some Windows configuration settings which can be helpful in certain situations. As some of that settings are stored in the Windows registry, if Mplay is copied to different computer this settings on this tab, might need to configure again. The application MUST be started with right click "as Administrator" that the modifications can be applied. - Audio level numbers in preview window improved. - PE2: In version 5.9.6.13 live inputs where not working properly - Playback monitoring has now "Resume play in progress" as possible recovery scenario to select. - If "Graph stopped" is detected the system can be instructed to recovery with resume play in progress instead going to next file. - Play duration check has now "Resume play in progress" as possible recovery scenario to select. - Midnight CPD cleanup does not block user interface anymore. - PE2: 24/7 video/audio logger built in. Simply configure one of the streams the file format to use, destination folder define filename structure and how many seconds each file should be and Mplay will keep capturing as long as it runs. - PE2: "Live error" message on program start. - "Read only Enable/Disable" checkbox in the interface configuration. If this is checked even in Masterplay OnAir there is the "Playlist Editor" checkbox visible in the main user interface. (like it is in EasyPlay) - PE2: sources and streamings can be added and removed in the configuration tab without restarting of the software. - In PlaylistEditor when changing a date might an exception did happen. - In InsertPlaylist at Loading Mode "select event#" added. - PE2: If mixer mode is enabled, EAS audio is now supported by the LIVE sources. (no windows passing needed anymore). - PE2: EAS audio will be passed to ALL channels in the system IF Live sources are enabled and mixer mode is enabled. - PE2: Master volume out was not working on the fly since about 5.9.5.20 5.9.6.0 - PE2: SDK updated - New Compiler (2015-07-02) - PE2: CG Layer is now also the priority on the screen. As higher the number as more on top. on previous version of Mplay the latest loaded CG was always on top. - BackgroundColor=rrggbb parameter added to playlist items. The value is in HEX. This value overroles the background value defined in the color database or color drop down. - PE2: SDK updated - Since 5.9.5.73 might the application couln't start correctly - Email notification in info field enhanced, additional values: Over only, Under only. Does also need new Monitoring software which does read that values. - Possible access violation at address 40F175 in refresh display fixed. - The load popup menu has a new entry called "Change clock offset". With this it is possible to define a offset between the computer clock and the channel. Helpful if there is more than one channel on a computer and the channels do have different time zones. The AsRun does honor that offset. Status, Operator and debug log does use computer clock always. The configuration is saved with Configuration/Save window parameters. - PE2: SDK updated . Reinit of source is possible to enable in the audio warning settings of a source. - PE2: SDK updated - Since 5.9.5.59 aja card was might not correct initalized. - If external control enable on start was enabled and router was configured might an exception was happen on application start. - PE2: 4K progressive resolutions added. - PE2: SDK updated - Load of saved window parameter while application is running. - in case last file was playing of a floating mode event and playlist was reloaded, Mplay didn't clean up the playlist correct after that file was played. Which could to skip files in next time event if there were several files with exact same filename after each other, if the playlist was reloaded again while one of that file was playing. - External Control is now per default enabled which means even with no router configured and no Monitoring Software Mplay does now show the "ON-AIR" text, which means the SendTo instructions are sent and if there is a router, the router instructions are sent as well. In the system tab there is "External control" group to configure the behavor. - Single play mode improved and now also available in Masterplay OnAir if in break mode. (Not just in EasyPlay), as long as "Single play" is checked, as long Mplay does always just play one file, stop and then cue the next one, if that is configured to cue in the interface configuration. - Instant Access Panel "Add from clipboard" added in the right click context menu. - PE2: if a output card didn't have an out line, it was not listed in the output devices. - In case of break mode the G key is mapped to stop current playing break list and cueing the next break list. - PE2: SDK updated. - Metadata Manager search improved. - External OnAir status polling added. Helpful if is a main and backup player but the switching is done externally with 3rd party tool - Metadata search might didn't work if create database was not selected. - Traffic import, if "Create Playlist from Scratch" was not checked and the schedules didn't start at same start time, some of the first event's of day where skipped. - Aspect ratio if MplayAccel was used for analying the files, was not correct sometimes. - Sub level increase (coloring bar in the playlist) possible thru text compare. - PE2: Live stream functionality enhanced. InsertDirectory and InsertPlaylist can automatically get replaced if a defined live stream is cued. Also they can be replaced with an alternet directory if there is a newer file. - PE2: SDK updated. - In Parameters.txt Library the file duration and LastChange are now in human readable format. - Enable of automatic library update and the interval is possible in the Metadata configuration - Mplay sometimes kept the mouse in an selected area, even Mplay or that form which actually was ment, was not active. (If that should happen in earlier versions, press CTRL-TAB) - Additional watchdog for advisories - In Metadatamanager added configuration for volume offset and enable/disable of Dynamic Audio - PE2: SDK updated. - Max Age Handling added. It can be selected by right click in the playlist of Mplay and it is saved with Confgiuration/Save Window Parameter - PE2: Audio jukebox improved - PE2: click on next might didn't cancel the a currently running live stream. - PE2: With external decoding enable on certain system there might be audio drop outs, especially in case of several channels on one computer. If so, it is possible to disable it in Board configuration/others. Restart of Mplay is needed after a change. - EAS might doesn't show up and in the status log is an unhandled exeption listed. - Router instructions since 5.9.5.34 might terminated the playback. - Initalisation of router might did fail and raise an major error - On 64Bit, DTMF decoder and Encoder are now working as well. - Memory leak when creating export list. - Memory leak when reading from ini file but the file does not exists. - VGA mode might did raise an error every time when Mplay was started. - PE2: SDK is used to analyse the file information. - Help/Download latest build, does reconize if application does run 32/64bit and download the correct update for it. - Mplay does now reconized MplayUpdatePE2x64New.zip - also available as 64Bit version. - PE2: SDK updated - Background audio might didn't calculate the length of the still pictures. if that was the case there were messages like "003 Exception: Control '' has no parent window in CountAudioLength..." in the status.log - PE2: SDK updated - If #of visible events was higher then 1 and the next visible event was added with sub playlist and subplaylist update monitoring was enabled not need reload of Playlist did happen. - Audio low level warnings can be enabled on source and on main output by making a right click on the video windows. - OSD Panel improved. - PE2: SDK updated - If "Monitor sub playlists" was enabled and a repeat floating event event was between two exact break events, the GPI instructions during the floating event might were not ignored. - PE2: SDK updated - Init of live source does only happen, if really needed. before it was always initalizied even if not needed, which might resulted that no playback was possible on the decklink card because the card was already occupied by a live source. - In case of prefetch enabled and metadata attached to file, the metadata might was not updated if file length was changed or change after play was enabled. The setting is now enabled per default to try to update the metadata. if there are speed issue experianced it can be disabled by uncheck the "Try to update attached metadata" in the metadata settings configuration of Mplay. - Debug file selection in the Error/Status window didn't work correct. - Since 5.9.5.6 the router instruction duration was not counted to the total duration - In traffic import it is possible configure how many days it should look ahead. - PE2: Because of problems with RTMP stream creation in 5.9.5.7 previous writer from older SDK does replace the new one. - PE2: Fast forward button enabled. with every click on it the playback speed is increased by 2 up to 10 - PE2: SDK updated - Per default duration of missing files is not added to the total calculation anymore. if there should be need for, it can be enabled in the playlist properties - PE2: SDK updated - Salt Lake City import can now handle serveral dash's in the commercial name and it will reconize the start time which starts also with dash correct. - Nvision tcp-ip router protocol added - Since 5.9.5.1 audio jukebox function was not working properly because might the duration of the audio files was not able to calculate. - Auto clean up function for the CPD folder. If Metatadata is configured to "Use cpd directory" and "Auto cleanup" is enabled, every day around midnight Mplay does scan for all video files found in the search folders and does remove ALL cpd files for where was no video file found. With right click on the option it can also triggered manually. if you do it the very first time, as there are might many files in the folder, it might does take several seconds to clean. - Since 5.9.5.1 might an additional *.cpd file is created at the original position where the video file is. - On multichannel systems, Mplay did cancel export even if 3 of 4 playlists where available. Chancel of export does mean, prefetch stopped working and internet export until all playlists where available - To determine the file parameters MplayAccel is now used and not analysing tool inside of MPlay or PlaylistEditor. This does avoid a memory leek in case of many new files are used without metadata. Also it does avoid a possible sudden closing of Mplay or PlaylistEditor if analysing does fail. 5.9.5.0 (2014-11-21) - New Compiler - PE2: in the capture configuration the directory and the configuration string was not stored correctly - Since 5.9.4.48 there was a problem with the searching for files in the search folders. - PE2: SDK updated - PE2: Warning if output can't get enabled because the board is might already in use. - Do NOT use versions 5.9.4.46 to 5.9.4.49 they have serious issues with inpoints. - To avoid issues of half installed update, the subscription warning message with the possibility to cancel is removed. Because if cancel was pressed and the update was a PE or PE2 the update was already installed half and could cause some troubles. To get it back working, the easiest way was delete the Medialooks folder in Mplay system folder start Mplay and make the correct update again.
