Enhanced OnDemand, Improved UI, and Key Fixes

Features

  • Renamed "VOD" to "OnDemand" to better reflect its expanded functionality.
  • Expanded OnDemand Content Support: All content types can now be assigned to the OnDemand area, not just videos.
  • Playlist Integration: Playlists can now be assigned to an OnDemand Group for greater flexibility in content organization.
  • Thumbnail Support:
    • Added the ability to assign a thumbnail image to any content type.
    • Playlists can now have a dedicated thumbnail image for improved visual identification.
    • Categories within an OnDemand Group can also have thumbnail images assigned.
  • Content Type Icons: All content pages now display content type icons to help users quickly identify different content formats.
  • OnDemand Publishing:
    • Added the ability to manually publish an OnDemand Group.
    • OnDemand Groups will also auto-publish during the normal publishing schedule if changes haven’t been manually published.
    • Publishing functions the same way as general publishing—changes won’t reach Players until published.

Fixes

  • Schedule Display Issue: Resolved an issue where the Schedules area did not properly display all Players assigned to a Schedule.
  • Incorrect Schedule Assignment in Inherit Settings: Fixed a bug where the Player Edit → Inherit section sometimes showed the wrong assigned Schedule.
  • SSO Login Failure: Addressed an issue where SSO logins would fail if the Account Variable Mapping ended with a space.
  • CSV Download Formatting: Fixed inconsistent date/time formatting in Player data CSV exports. The format now matches the MSS 5.18 release.
  • "Save and Add to Playlist" Permissions: Account Admins can now successfully create content from a Content Template and add it to a Playlist.
