VidyoReplay Version 20.2.0: General Availability Release
Product Bulletin No. 1291
What's new in this release?
HTML5 player replacing Flash player
Starting with this release, VidyoReplay will use an HTML5 player instead of a Flash player to play videos.
Flash-based streaming is now being deprecated on most major browsers, and after 2020, it will become blocked by default.
All modern, popular browsers support HTML5 videos (including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and more). Unlike with Flash, you do not have to install any browser plugin or video player. Your vrowser is your player.
HTML5 is lightweight, fast, and takes less CPU time to render content than Flash does.
Ability to enable and disable audio-only avatars
You now have the ability to enable or disable the avatar that displays when a particiapnt has their video source muted (only when the participant is in audio-only mode).
When enabled, if a participant's video source is muted during a call, an avatar with the first three letters of their name appears on their tile.
When disabled, if a participant's video source is muted during a call, their video tile does not display at all.
You can easily configure this setting using the new "Use Avatar" checkbox on the Recorder > Configuration page.
New icon to indicate when participants have muted video
When all the participants in a video call have their video sources muted, the mute camera icon now appears on the full screen.
This icon lets you know that the reason you're not seeing video is because the participants have chosen not to display it rather than because of a video problem.
Audio quality improvements
We've added support for recordings of up to 48 kHz.
Bug fixes
In this release, we've addressed some issues to improve usability and reliability.
System updates
For added security and stability, updates for multiple third-party packages and libraries are included as part of this release.

What's new in this release?
Opus support with VidyoConnect
When registering to the VidyoPortal, the VidyoReplay checks the systme's capabilities, and then one of the following occurs:
If the VidyoPortal supports Opus audio, the VidyoReplay configures itself to use Opus audio on the SVC side so when a VidyoReplay recorder joins a vidyoConnect call, the conference continues to use Opus.
If the VidyoPortal does not support Opus audio, the VidyoReplay configures itself to use SPEEX/RED on the SVC side for the recorder.
Record up to twelve hours
You can now record up to twelve hours continuously.
