Release notes for OpenTV Video Platform
Release summary
This release comes with improvements in the Operator Console that will help to handle content deletion as a bulk operation or shorten/extend live events for catch-up. We are also adding the integration with Gracenote ON for data ingestion.
Bulk delete nodes (select multiple to delete)
Customers will have the ability to manage the deletion of content as a bulk operation.
This release includes support for bulk deletion, in a similar manner to the existing bulk copy and movement of nodes.
New Content Builder – ensuring production readiness
Content Builder has been rebuilt from the ground up, resulting in important performance improvements.
Search Façade improvements
The search syntax used by Search Façade has been updated to align it with SAS, making it easier to use and ensuring consistent search results.
Content metadata ingestion via Gracenote ON
For customers who use Gracenote as their metadata provider, we have created a new OPF service to ingest data from Gracenote On APIs.
This new service will allow OPF to ingest data from Gracenote more efficiently – we can now ingest just the changes to the metadata since the last import (deltas). This allows the service to be more efficient in its data processing, reducing the time taken to import metadata, allowing the service to be configured to run more frequently if required and resulting in less overall load on downstream services.
Shortening/extending ongoing live event in OpConsole doesn't reflect changes on CU CaptureJob
This feature has been created to address an issue related to shortening/extending ongoing live events.
One of the most common operations during live events for certain customers is to shorten a certain live event as it is going to finish earlier than the original scheduled time.
This requires the end time of the event to be changed while the event is being still broadcasted and for its duration to be shortened.
This is feasible using OpConsole, but such duration changes were not being reflected to the WFM LTCU_Capture job attached to the event.
