Release Notes - Cablecast v4.6.4

New - 2804: Knox256CM
Added a new control module for Knox routers with more than 100 inputs or outputs.

New - 2691: Subscribing to Podcasts via iTunes or RSS
The public site podcast page now has links for both iTunes and standard XML subscriptions.

Bug - 2719: Autopilot creates incorrect CG events for closely scheduled shows
When shows were scheduled too tightly, autopilot didn't bother to check if the shows were CGExempt or not, and blindly created the CableDisplay events for Carousel. Resolved by making autopilot check for CGExempt in all cases.

Bug - 2771: VSX CM Play and Stop events do not fire at correct times
Resolved several issues that would cause inaccuracies in the timing of events on the VSX.

Bug - 2782: Vela Argus 200 CM starting late
Resolved an issue that was casing encodes on Vela Argus 200 hardware to start late.

Bug - 2799: Integra CM not Stopping DPC 7.7 changers
Improved the "Force Stop" mode on the Integra DPC series Control Module. This option allows for slower changers to still work correctly with auto-play discs.

Bug - 2353: Cue-Times with multi-reel shows not working
Resolved an issue with multi-reel preassigned shows being bumped incorrectly.

Bug - 2589: Duplicating a show places reels in incorrect order
Duplicated reels were being saved in reverse order, which caused some confusion when loading up the show record.

Bug - 2610: Small force menu doesn't update the SX record/playback time
The small force menu will now update periodically with new status information.

Bug - 2632: Public site banner graphic isn't uploaded correctly
Two different file upload modules were conflicting with each other, resulting in corrupted uploads for the public site. Fixed by forcing only one upload module to be in charge of the public site.

Bug - 2644: VOD doesn't tolerate minor errors in setup screens
Added significant improvements to VOD server ease of setup, and reliability.

Bug - 2659: VDCP Control module can't find some files
Resolved an issue where forced events on the VDCP control module could fail to find the desired file.

Bug - 2680: VOD Servers leak memory during transcoding
VOD servers will no longer leak memory while transcoding.

Bug - 2690: Podcast links don't support non-standard ports
Generated podcast links were ignoring the port, so they would always be forced to port 80. Port numbers are now included in the podcast link.
