General Improvements
- Improved the Data Quality of the "Playlist Type" and "Playlist" Dimensions:
- Beginning on 5/24/22, the Playlist Type and Playlist Dimensions are being more fully populated for Embeds, including in cases where a relevant embed does not result in a play
- The Embed count tallies the number of times a player has been set up on a page and will now let you segment by playlist
- This change will allow you to track how often a playlist is loaded with a player and subsequently how often these convert into plays
Fixes

- Fixed a bug around duplicate key values for dynamic playlists custom param filtering in Management API v2

|
| Date |
Description |
| 10 Mar 2022 |
General Improvements
- Updated the JWP Management API for the MRSS Imports POST action (Create an import) so that all of the "ingest_metadata" settings will be defaulted to true if it is undefined:
- In the past, these were defaulted to false
- Now, these need to explicitly be set to false if desired
See Create an import for more information.
- Updated the User Agent for resource retrieval on MRSS Imports to display JWP rather than a generic python library

General Improvement
- Custom Parameters can now be imported directly with videos imported by MRSS Feeds to make importing this metadata easier:
- Custom Parameters can be specified to be added to all videos imported via a specific MRSS feed. When desired, these can use the default custom parameters set at the property level.
- Custom Parameters can also be parsed from custom name-spaced fields on the MRSS feed to import custom parameters that differ for each video.
See Set up a new import feed for more information.

Fixes

- Fixed an issue where “Copy to Property” from the Media Library Page would result in reduced resolution thumbnails instead of the highest quality thumbnail
|
| 13 Jan 2022 |

- Improvements were made to more frequently refresh the status of imported media
See Set up a new import feed for more information.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where uploading an alternate audio track that contained surround-sound content and had a non-ASCII character in its display name resulted in HTTP 500 delivery errors.
- Fixed an issue with MRSS Imports API PATCH calls where a PATCH call overwrote fields that were not included in the request.
