Affecting streaming and recording
l
When switching layouts while streaming or recording it's possible to have a small number of frames
(approximately 100ms worth) repeated in the stream or recording file, and over the same time period a small
number of frames from the new layout skipped.
Workaround
: If dropped frames are problematic for your application, avoid the layout switching feature.
l
Streams and recordings at very low frame rates (e.g. 1 fps) are not playable in VLC media player.
Workaround
: Use an alternative media player, such as Windows Media Player and Quicktime Player.
Affecting the Admin panel
l
It is possible to name two or more channels with the same value. Use of automatic file transfer and UPnP is
unpredictable if this occurs.
Workaround
: Ensure each channel has a unique name.
l
The automatic file upload (AFU) file queue shows a maximum of 15 files, Newer 15 and Top of the list buttons
do not work. All files are transfered, even though they are not listed.
Workaround
: Wait for the queue to have fewer files in the list.
l
Saving layout changes in a channel's layout editor and then immediately navigating to a different layout
occasionally causes the second layout to temporarily malfunction.
Workaround
: Wait 1-2 seconds after pressing Save in the custom layout editor before performing further
actions on the page. If the error has already occurred, simply refresh the page in your web browser to restore
the malfunctioning layout.
l
When deleting video or audio items in a custom layout and then navigating away from the page, the "Save"
prompt does not appear, and layout changes remain unsaved.
Workaround
: Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the customer layout editor page to save all layout
changes before navigating to a different page.
Affecting Epiphan Live
l
Navigating to the Switcher interface before the Dashboard monitoring panels finish loading any configured
channel or source previews can sometimes cause the monitoring panels to display an error upon return to the
Dashboard interface.
Workaround
: Allow the monitoring panels to load any channel or source previews before navigating to the
switcher interface. If the error has already occured, simply refresh the page in your web brower to restore
monitoring panel previews.
l
Streaming status on the Epiphan Live Dashboard interface does not include information regarding Wowza
Streaming Cloud transcoder settings.
Workaround
: Ensure the transcoder in the Wowza Streaming Cloud web interface is enabled.
Affecting other areas
l
Due to changes in the way channel layouts are created, some HTTP and RS-232 remote layout commands are
no longer available. These include values for setting the text overlay, logo, logo positioning, keep aspect ratio
and no signal image.
Workaround
: Update your scripts to avoid using these commands. See the manual for a full list of available
commands.
