Previous Builds of PlayOn Producer

Version 8.22

Download here

  • Release Notes
    • Added support for 720p60 video ingest.
    • Fixed bug where 60fps video was forced to 30fps, which caused frame jitters
    • Modified the "Confirm Close Broadcast" dialog box verbiage and appearance

Version 8.21

Download here

  • Release Notes
    • Re-enabling score updates in broadcast manager
    • Changing default network profile from “Probe once at startup” to “Adaptive bitrate: tuned for WiFi”
    • Changed network probe duration from 30 seconds to 10 seconds
    • Adding in a message box to ask the end user if they want to complete an event if Playon Producer exits cleanly. This allows users to close Playon Producer and re-launch if necessary without completing the event.
    • Modified the S3 upload process so that it is capped at 20 Mbps. This prevents CPU usage spikes that caused encoder issues and warnings inside of Playon producer.

  • Release Notes

    • Bug fix that prevents hard crashes when iterating over CPU models for determining hardware acceleration

Version 8.18

Download

  • Release Notes

    • Adjusted media encoding parameters to reduce CPU usage. In our testing, this led to an average of 10% CPU usage reduction when streaming at 720p while maintaining video quality.

    • A reduction in CPU usage helps with the Playon Producer “fast-forwarding” bug we’ve seen in previous releases.

    • Fixed bug where local recordings were deleted when double-clicking on the .bat file next to the mp4.

    • Added in try-catch with logging to prevent Playon Producer from hard-crashing with a potential out-of-memory error when making new graphics overlays.
