Slicer Release 21081100

Fixes:

  • Inaccurate logging during remote config for live slicing.

  • NVENC bitrate undershoot when Profile frame rate is higher than content frame rate.

Enables:

  • Detect source content frame rate changes (PAL, film, etc) and adjust
    encoder frame rate at runtime to match content.

NOTE: The playback manifest will always show the maximum frame rate
allowed by the Profile, even if the content frame rate is always lower than the maximum.

Other changes:

  • Enhance slicer logs.

Prerequisites:

  • Due to the slicer being built on CentOS 7 it picks up a new library dependency on libnl-3.200, which is not included in the base install of Ubuntu 18.04. You may need to pre-install it: sudo apt install libnl-3-200

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

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