Release notes for OpenTV Video Platform

Release summary

This release comes with new functionality on User Recordings, that will allow the user to record only those episodes marked as new for a given series, as well as some improvements on the User Recordings API. We have also a new feature on OpCon, so the operators can now manage their system locales. Additionally, we have a new API status dashboard to inform about the health status of SSP/OPF APIs.

OPF & SSP Service API Status Dashboard + APIs usage coverage extension

The existing dashboard has been reworked into the new Service API Status Dashboard.

Recording option for only newly airing series/episodes

For operators that use Gracenote metadata, this feature allows the creation of series recording events that will only record episodes in a series that are marked as 'new' within the Gracenote metadata.

Cessation of channels – removal of user recordings

This feature allows the platform to be configured such that if an editorial channel is deleted, associated user recording data and recordings on the capture devices are removed. This is for both shared and private copy nPVR.

User Recordings API improvements

User Recordings API improvements:

GET /recordings API is enhanced to indicate (seriesRecordingId) that the recording is made as part of a series.
DELETE recordings based on filter.

OpCon – locale administration

Ability in Operator Console to view and administer system locales.

Improved redo of the OTT/DVBC contents

Redo of OTT/DVBC contents – because of the complex content structure of OTT/DVBC, the redo workflow functionality and other operational are now supported.

Non-editorial source file definition

This feature aims to allow operators to drive the workflow of technical content independently from the editorial metadata entry.
