RELEASE: OnTheAir Manager 3.0

Oct

Filed in:
OnTheAir Manager goes from version 1.3.5 to version 3.0. The reason for that version jump is that OnTheAir Manager 1.3.5 still used QuickTime to preview and trim the clip in the inspector. This could be confusing as OnTheAir Manager was not able to read some files that OnTheAir Node could, or the other way around. With version 3.0 we now use the same engine for the OnTheAir Manager preview as OnTheAir Node 3 uses to playout files. So the files that can be read by both applications are identical. This is a major change in itself which then diserved a major version number change. By using a version 3 we also bring it in pair with OnTheAir Node which is also in version 3.
So there were a lot of changes, but most are "under the hood". Below are the new features that can actually be seen :
- Added the ability to send more than a month to OnTheAir Node
- Update inspector UI
- EPG plugins have been updated to newer versions with a few fixes
- Fixed an issue with Keychain
