changelog VP-Core 1.6 (30-8-2009 14:30)

---

#31 GET /statistics/searchrequest returned 404, now the

searchrequests statistics.

#35 Transcoding: more and better output in the admin interface in

case of a transcode error.

#36 A failed transcode, now never starts a bogus analyse.

#38 Now the still generation never tries to make a still at a

frametime higher than the video length. Even if the video is
shorter than 10 seconds.

#40 Images are now generated with aspect ratio maintained, and there

are extra parameters: width and height or size (widthxheight,
for example 200x400)

#41 In the admin interface "streaming servers", it is possible

per streaming server to modify the objectcode.

#46,47,48 several issues in documentation fixed.

#50 "is_unappropriate = true" in CQL works now.

#52 mime_type search in CQL works now.

#54 Support for OGG Vorbis en Theora; also playable in firefox 3.5.

#55 Support for wowza streaming server/mpeg4

#56 mp3 streaming with wowza/jwplayer is default now, but others are

also possible.

#60 quotes support in the download of mediafiles.

#62 crossdomain.xml in webroot van uploadserver.

#63 XML output change. We fixed the awkward xml output with

mediafiles. This change is versioned in the restcall/parameter,
so backward compatibility is ensured.

#68 The analyse script now takes into account possible multibitrate

videos. It only reports the bitrate from the stream with the
highest bitrate.

#69 autorisation_group; it is not possible anymore to create a REALM

groupname which has the same name as a DOMAIN group, and
visaversa.

#73 When an original does not have a duration but a transcode has,

the duration of the transcode will be stored with the asset as
the duration of the original.

#91 /collection search on description bug fixed.

#116 streaming server selection based on a combination of

container/codec.

#117 playtickets are prefixed by eganumber as subdirectory.

Bulkupload

---

#21 The mail and the results file after processing the vuf had a

wrong title.

#22 Aspect ratio is not overruled by batchupload (issue with flash

preview).

#34 The watcher for vufs (deamon) can only run once.

#64 incorrect error with wrong transcode profile fixed.

#66 Bulkupload supports stills.

#71 Sharing to other applications in vuf syntax is added.

#88 Inherit_acl=true is default behaviour now.

OAI
---
#43 Stills are now shown in the <czp:technical> oai tags.

#44 In the reference tags we show the reference url's if

master/slaved.

#45 Support for dc/qdc and lom in OAI.

#72 <dcterms:extent> support.

changelog VP-Core 1.5.7 to 1.6.1 (9-10-2009 1:38)

---

#31 GET /statistics/searchrequest returned 404, now the searchrequests

statistics.

#35 Transcoding: more and better output in the admin interface in case

of a transcode error.

#36 A failed transcode, now never starts a bogus analyse.

#38 Now the still generation never tries to make a still at a

frametime higher than the video length. Even if the video is
shorter than 10 seconds.

#40 Images are now generated with aspect ratio maintained, and there

are extra parameters: width and height or size (widthxheight,
for example 200x400)

#41 In the admin interface "streaming servers", it is possible

per streaming server to modify the objectcode. In this release
we made no modifications for support of other videoformats (yet,
in a followup we will try to support the wowza server better).

#46,47,48 several issues in documentation fixed.

#50 "is_unappropriate = true" in CQL works now.

#52 mime_type search in CQL works now.

#54 Support for OGG Vorbis en Theora; also playable in firefox 3.5.

#55 Support for wowza streaming server/mpeg4; (only the preparation)

#56 mp3 streaming with wowza/jwplayer is default now, but others are

also possible.

#60 some quotes support in the download of mediafiles.

#62 crossdomain.xml in webroot van uploadserver.

#63 XML output change. We fixed the awkward xml output with

mediafiles. This change is versioned in the restcall/parameter, so
backward compatibility is ensured.

#68 The analyse script now takes into account possible multibitrate

videos. It only reports the bitrate from the stream with the

#69 autorisation_group; it is not possible anymore to create a REALM

groupname which has the same name as a DOMAIN group, and
visaversa.

#73 When an original does not have a duration but a transcode has, the

duration of the transcode will be stored with the asset as the
duration of the original.

#91 /collection search on description bug fixed.

#116 streaming server selection based on a combination of

container/codec;

#117 playtickets are prefixed by eganumber as subdirectory. Useful for

analyse of the apache streaming log files.

#122 ffmpeg / vpx-analyse miss

Beter support in the analyse tool; a bug with some specific mp4 files
which resulted in a wrong mimetype (MIME-type:
application/octet-stream) is solved. The corresponding files should be
reanalysed from the admin interface.
(there is a followup for the mime/type detection upgrade )

#157 Total count is incorrect in /collection/{coll_id}/asset and /asset

[get]
Be careful with search calls with the parameter limit=3 or limit=6. It
does not return a correct total count, but have a better
performance. This is a workaround for Surfmedia until a better
solution is implemented.

#168 /version [GET] call

We added a new rest call /version which only returns the current version of
Mediamosa.

De rest interface is tegenwoordig gedocumenteerd op mediamosa.org/api

OAI
---
#43 Stills are now shown in the <czp:technical> oai tags.

#44 In the reference tags we show the reference url's if

master/slaved.

Met "set=app_id:5" als extra parameter kan een zoekopdracht van 1 ega
worden opgegeven. Als een set=app_id wordt opgegeven zullen alleen de
playurls van deze applicatie getoond worden (zie ook vpcore-trac issue
7). Een test met master/slave kan het beste in met een batchupload
test gecombineerd worden (zie ticket #71)

#45 Support for dc/qdc and lom in OAI.

#72 <dcterms:extent> support.

Changelog VP-Core 1.6.3 (20-10-2009 9:59)

---

#53: [Core] VPcore heeft geen mogelijkheid om collecties op 'inactief'

te zetten
Vanaf nu is dit geimplementeerd mbv: is_unappropriate. zie
/asset/{asset_id} [POST] op mediamosa.org (Reference Guide).

note: Bij een controleslag bleek dat dit veld nog geen impact heeft
op OAI, dus dat zijn we op dit moment nog aan het uitbreiden.

#122 ffmpeg / vpx-analyse miss

We hebben de mp4 aanvulling uitgevoerd in /etc/magic en geconstateerd
dat de mime-type van het probleem bestand nu in ieder geval juist
wordt geconstateerd. We wachten nog wel op de wijziging voor een
nieuwere versie van de debian packages.

#49 [Documentatie] Documentatie Bulkupload aanpassen

Is aangepast, het document is opgenomen onder het ticket bij
Mediamosa.

#44 [OAI] Set specificatie nog niet goed

Via Bulkupload is de master/slave (APP) in te stellen en via OAI
("set=app_id:5") op te vragen.

#54 [Core] Ondersteuning voor OGG Vorbis en Theora formaten (ogg en

ogv)
Deze type videobestanden krijgen tegenwoordig een extentie in de
ticket mee, voor een betere afspeelondersteuning.

#57 [Core] GET instead of POST in create method (Forum)

aangepast.

#60 [Core] Download struikelt over sommige filenamen

Is aangepast. quotes in bestandsnamen zijn geen belemmering
meer voor de download, wel wordt het bestandsnaam daarvoor
urlencodeerd.

#71 [Bulkupload] Afschermingsregel aut_app toevoegen vanuit bulk

<accessRule>

<ruleType>APP</ruleType>
<ruleValue>5</ruleValue>

</accessRule>
Is toegevoegd aan de specificatie van de bulkupload.
