Full descriptions of the issues are provided below in case you have run into them.

Issues Description

Live Smooth Streaming Videos without text tracks fails on playback

When playing a live smooth streaming video without any text tracks, a message is shown explaining that the video can’t be played.
The log has the following related entry: “Exception: Failed to parse manifest: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.”

First chunk duration are not generated sometimes

In some scenarios, the duration of the first chunk of the video and audio streams is not generated.

The error message when playing the generated CSM is the following: “Caught exception trying to parse main manifest: First audio chunk in clip 1 [start time = X, duration = Y] does not contain clip start position Z]“, where X, Y and Z are values that depend on your clips. For more information on common issues when generating and using CSMs, please check this blog post.

Hopefully, you will find this new release useful.
