Video Service​

  • Incorporated to the Video Details station to give possible explanations for an encoding error and provide recommendations. The button Ask Axi is available on the encoding details; no need to expand the Encoding History to search for an error message.
  • Improved the workflow on the Video Acquisition Settings station where previously a SAS Token (when using Azure Blob storage provider) or a Management Access Key (when using AWS S3 storage provider) was required. Now these values are no longer needed, as we use the existing storage credentials to securely list the storage contents when a user would use the New Video station. You will not find the SAS Token / Management Access Key fields anymore in the Video Acquisition Settings.
  • Added an easy way to access the Processing Profile that was used from within the Video Details station.

Image Service​

We've added a new feature Bulk Edit for BETA testing. This should allow you to perform edit operations on the Images explorer currently, where changes will be applied to all selected rows in the explorer as a bulk-operation. Feel free to take it up for a spin in the Image Explorer. We will launch this feature in its full glory soon.

AxAuth Service​

  • With Email Exclusion Patterns you can disallow specific email domains or well-defined email patterns from using the Email/Password authentication to authenticate. This comes in handy when you want to exclude certain email domains (i.e. your company email addresses) from using direct Email/Password authentication, and want to always use a federated authentication provider such as Microsoft Entra ID for them instead.

Axinom DRM Service​

DRM Widevine API 6.29:

  • Minor security update.
  • Fixed error handling of requests from “Unknown” devices. They’re now once more properly handled as client errors, instead of resulting in a server error.

DRM FairPlay API 6.25:

  • Minor security update.
  • Modified device class data type to match value returned by widevine device type used in traced requests logging.
  • Fixed log attribute casing
  • Exposed X-AxDrm-ErrorCode HTTP Header for clients that use CORS. This is a relatively new custom header that represents Axinom error codes. Currently, this header is only used in Concurrent Stream Limiting.
  • Added the "blocked users" feature. A user can now be blocked from receiving new licenses based on the "user_id" in the entitlement message when the same user is also added to the blacklist via the Management API "api/BlockedUsers" endpoint.

DRM PlayReady API 6.23:

  • Added the "blocked users" feature. A user can now be blocked from receiving new licenses based on the "user_id" in the entitlement message when the same user is also added to the blacklist via the Management API "api/BlockedUsers" endpoint.
