In this release we are fixing issues related to livestreaming and Google DAI. There are a few other fixes and improvements included.
FEATURES
We've updated the app login experience to allow viewers to sign in without the need for an additional device. This also complies with Roku's new rule regarding on-device sign in. (OTTROKUTV-23)
IMPROVEMENTS
While viewers were watching a pre-roll advertisement and clicked back they would be taken to the selected video rather than the previous menu causing confusion. Now, the viewer will be taken back to the previous menu. (OTTROKUTV-82)
If auto-play was turned on within the preview player, Google DAI streams would play within a standard video player rather than the Google DAI SDK player. This would cause ad insertion to not fire properly. Streams no longer play in the preview player and require viewers to click to full screen where the Google DAI SDK is used. (OTTROKUTV-97)
We've improved the Roku user-agent provided by our macro parameters. The updated user-agent will compile with most major user-agent indexes. (OTTROKUTV-105)
We've updated support for the new Google URL scheme and URLs will now run using the Google DAI SDK. (OTTROKUTV-68)
BUG FIXES
There was a bug where, in some cases, buffering would cause a viewer to leave a livestream and return to the video to continue playback. We've addressed this and if buffering takes longer than 30 seconds then the stream will restart seamlessly. (OTTROKUTV-84)
