  The poster images may have a strange aspect ratio when in full screen mode. This does not affect video playback which retains the correction dimensions.

Player Embedding

• Avalon uses iframes for video embedding. Embedding should work with sites that support iframes.

   For embedded Avalon media to play in Safari, you have to go to Preferences -> Advanced and UNcheck "Stop plugins to save power"

Batches

• If you have a batch with large files added to the dropbox, the batch may fail while the files are being copied.  If that happens, once batch ingest package is completely copied over, delete the error file in the dropbox and the batch will be begin processing again.

System configurations

• Jira
  server IU DLP JIRA serverId 7db187da-a52c-3750-b791-4dc703aec548 key VOV-2032

  Uploading a file larger than the value configured in the Master File model will throw an exception instead of being gracefully handled. If routinely uploading files bigger than the default either change it or use the dropbox interface.

Bulk Actions

• Jira
