Slicer hotfix release 23031600

March 27th, 2023

Fixes:

  • Fix mac slicer app forgetting vod_config on app restart.

  • Do not stop updating vol status during an ad break or blackout.

  • Fix mis-detection of small luma & vol changes (less than 1.0) as no-change.

Other changes:

  • Add rtp_enforce_unique_ssrc: yes/no option, off by default.

Known issues:

  • A rare race condition affecting use_brokers=3 and use_brokers=4 slicers may cause the slicer to crash during a broker upgrade.

Prerequisites:

  • Due to CentOS 6 reaching EOL in November 2020 this slicer release requires CentOS 7 or newer.

  • Due to the slicer being built on CentOS 7 it picks up some new library dependencies which are not included in the base install of Ubuntu 18.04. You may need to pre-install them: sudo apt install libnl-3-200 libatomic1.

  • Nvidia driver 418 or later is required for HEVC 4K HDR/SDR.

As of 23020901-rc1 VOD slicer no longer requires a CPU with AVX instruction set support, and is compatible with rosetta on Apple M1.
