Version 1.25.0
  • Release Date: Jan 4, 2020

    • Added: EncodingClient combines chunks with output file on fly as soon as they are encoded in correct order
    • Added: Option in EncodingClient to suspend jobless server
    • Added: Option in EncodingClient to shutdown server at IDLE state
    • Added: Audio profiles in ProfileAudio.txt
    • Added: Variable priority mode to EncodingServer.
