MIPSDK General

• RawSource has been added to offer similar functionality to BitmapSource, except for raw video. It can provide both live video, as well as playback, taking care of buffering and synchronizing with the given PlaybackController.

Component integrations

Driver framework

• Output devices from driver framework-based drivers will now have the Output Trigger Time property, which the driver should read and utilize in the OutputManager.TriggerOutput method.

Configuration API

• Support for configuring network ranges has been added.

• Support for configuring mail server has been added.

• Support for configuring evidence lock profiles has been added.

• Support for enabling and disabling Customer Dashboard and usage data collection has been added.

Event and alarm APIs

• Events and States WebSocket API

  Updated protocol with field inactiveTimeoutSeconds that is included with the Start Session Response message. This specifies the lifetime of an inactive session before it is removed from the server.

  Added Authenticate command that can be used as an alternative to the Authorization header when connecting.

WebRTC

• Support for specifying playback time, speed, and whether gaps should be skipped when creating a WebRTC session is no longer in beta.

Smart Client

  Client Actions: Plugins can now create Client Actions in the Smart Client.

Samples

The following samples have been changed:

• Demo driver has been updated so that the OutputManager.TriggerOutput method utilizes the VideoOS.Platform.DriverFramework.Definitions.Setting.OutputTriggerTime setting.
• Smart Client Insert Camera has been updated to also create TextBuiltInId, CarrouselBuiltinId, and ImageBuiltInId view items.

The following samples have been added:

• SCClientAction: Demonstrates how plugins can add Client Actions to the Smart Client.

The following samples have been removed:

Fixed issues

• For driver framework drivers not all combinations of username, password and address would be used during the manual add hardware process.
• Paging did not work for the /hardware endpoint on API Gateway.
• VideoOS.Platform.ConfigurationItems.Hardware.UpdateHardware method did not persist found changes.
• In certain cases using the Replace Hardware function in Management Client to upgrade from a device pack driver to a driver framework driver would cause the Management Client to crash.
