- Fixed playback of "You Got Served" (SD) on Strato
Just because I'm a nerd, do you have any info on why one version of one movie required a software update to play correctly? I'm just so damn curious.
It's a specific fix for an HDMI interop issue between kOS and certain 2019 models of Samsung and LG TVs.
New kOS 10.6.4-20558 for the Encore systems. More bug fixes ?
Thanks,
Kostas
My Encore system has updated to kOS 10.7.0-21045. Issue solved @Mark H ?A fix for this issue has started rolling out. Affected systems should update over the next few hours as they check in for updates.
I should start first by saying that kOS 10.7.0 is still in the very early stages of release, mostly to internal users, sales, and dealers at this time. It will continue to roll out over the next couple of weeks.
The most user-visible thing right now is that starting movie playback using the PLAY command from any OSD view will present a dialog prompting the customer to choose to resume playback or to start from the beginning. This scenario was previously handled by displaying a wedge with similar options, but that could be missed in certain customer installations that require lengthy display mode changes. This also gives you a way to more cleanly start a movie from the beginning, rather than having it jump to the paused location first. The default option in the dialog is to resume from the paused location, and you can just hit the Play button again (or OK) to choose that option. This feature will also apply on Premiere/Co-Star, although that kOS release to external parties has not yet begun.
Second, on Alto and Strato, we've done some work on better integrating movie details pages when you have multiple different versions of a movie on your system. Previously, things like extras might be broken up into groups, showing what was on the HD download, what was on the SD download, etc. Now they are all shown together. The "Other Versions" item, which used to be there to let you get to the details pages of those other versions, has been replaced with a "Play Other Version" menu under the More Options menu, since playing a different version was the main motivation for having access to the other details pages.
Somewhat more subtle is that pause bookmarks now span versions. The pause bookmark was previously bound to a single quality. kOS 10.7.0 maintains a single pause bookmark for all qualities of a movie. Note that in systems with a Strato and an Alto, a paused bookmark created for a 4K UHD/HDR movie will not be visible on the Alto. This feature does not apply to Co-Star content, because the pause bookmarks for content on the Premiere system is stored on the Premiere.
There are many other under-the-hood changes and bug fixes as well, but those are the user-visible highlights.
