Dear publishers, it’s been a while since our last platform update, and we’re excited to share what we’ve been working on over the last few weeks. This platform update brings a few new, exciting features and various bug fixes, and platform improvements. Let’s take a more detailed look into what came with this update!
New Sticky Player Close Button Options
As of today, publishers can take advantage of several new sticky player close button options! A few of the most requested (and now available) options are:
- Opting to put the close button inside the player.
- Custom close button types that include the video title above the player.
Publishers can access these options from the Ad Units section of our CMS.
HLS Support for URL Tokenization
URL tokenization has been the backbone of Brid.TV’s content theft and piracy prevention, so we’re glad to announce further improvements to it. As of today’s update, publishers will be able to enjoy video URL tokenization for HLS streams as well!
Full 6.1.1. Changelog
Here’s a complete list of changes that came with the 6.1.1. update:
- Introducing new sticky/floating player close button options! You can now set the close button to be inside the player if you wish or select a new type of close button, which includes the title of the video above the player.
- Streamlined our implementation for video URL tokenization and added support for HLS stream video tokenization.
- Added the option to enable/disable graph display in our analytics section.
- Added an option to see how many videos each of your users has uploaded on the USERS list screen.
- Added Google Open Bidding data reports to our Marketplace reporting section.
- Added an auto-rotate option for our encoding engine so that certain rare vertical videos would not get rotated unnecessarily.
- Fixed a scrolling issue with our new playlist content units.
- Fixed an issue where SOFT deleted playlists from the platform would appear as valid playlists for videos to be added under certain sections.
- Fixed our API endpoint which returns the # of ad requests per player.
If you have any questions about these changes or need help with anything, let us know!
