Added​

• Remote Player to view live-streams and recorded videos in non-interactive environments.
• Ability when editing a layout for a Session or Recording to manually adjust the x, y, width, height, and z-index properties of each rect.
• Labels that show the stream or file name being displayed in a layout rect. Labels can be enabled, and their position configured, when creating or editing a layout for a Session or Recording.
• Searching of transcripts in the dashboard.
• Ability to crop streams, which can be set from the Stream Configuration dialog.
• Support for connecting to a multicast address to record DIS.
• A configuration option to manually set the Server's local IP address in situations where it cannot be automatically retrieved.

Changed​

• The Settings > Connected Apps page to be called "Streamers" instead.
• Videos to show a message when errors occur instead of continuing to show a spinner.

Fixed​

• Streams not restarting and showing spinners when switching layouts.
• RTSP streaming and recording from certain IP cameras and the Matrox 5150.
• Bug where changing a layout rect's sources on the Session Details or Recording Details pages wouldn't save properly.
• Map zoom and center states so they are now persistent when Map is re-rendered.

Known Issues​

• Setting a bitrate in Stream Configuration is treated as a maximum and varies inconsistently; It should apply a fixed bitrate rather than a variable one.

Performaar v1.0 provides an all-in-one debrief and AAR solution that lets you:

• Configure video, audio, and data sources from PCs (displays, speakers, microphones, etc.), IP Cameras (and other RTSP devices) and network protocols (e.g. DIS).
• Capture multiple sources in a time-synchronized recording, while monitoring those same sources in real-time.
• Annotate recordings with bookmarks and automated speech-to-text subtitles.
• Debrief recordings with playback controls to interactively play, pause and seek.
• Analyse recorded data with performance metrics and customizable dashboards.
• Create and manage user accounts with fine-grained access control.

The following is a list of additions, changes and fixes from the last pre-release version of Performaar:

Added​

• Support for MPEG-4 GENERIC audio codec for RTSP streams.
• Support for Personal Access Tokens, which can be used as an alternative authorization mechanism when using the API directly.
• Usability improvements to the Dashboard map.
• Additional trace and debug logging for better diagnostics.

Changed​

• Updated API and UI so Recording name can be set when creating a new one.
• Installer for Server and Streamer so it now checks for minimum VC Redistributable version.

Fixed​

• Handling of unsupported video and audio codecs when connecting to RTSP streams, which are now skipped properly.
• Issue with Server stalling when an RTSP stream is being closed.
• Issue with the Dashboard and Media Player going out of sync when one of them seeked to 0.
• Auto-layout not working on the Recording Details page when monitoring an in-progress recording.
• The first configured DIS destination address not being selected automatically when a Debrief is opened.

Added​

• Layouts can now be created for Sessions and Recordings.
• User Management page under Settings, with the ability to create, edit, update and delete users.
• Permissions for Sessions, Recordings, Streamers and Streams can now be edited.
• User Profile page so users can change their own name and password.
• DIS destination addresses can now be added for Sessions and Recordings.
• Media Storage root can now be configured in Performaar Server using CLI arguments or Environment variables.
• Added an offline map for the dashboard which renders entities without satellite imagery.
• Settings page to supply a Google Maps API key which will be used to render a map in the dashboard if an internet connection exists.
• Streamers can now be edited or deleted from the Settings > Configured Applications page.
• Media controls on video elements are hidden if only one video source is present, to prevent duplicate controls.
• Streamer now adds an icon to the system tray.
• License notices for third-party libraries are now part of the installer.

Changed​

• The Recordings list page now auto-updates when Recordings are finalizing.

Fixed​

• The Graphql API explorer (aka Graphiql) showing just a blank page.

Known Issues​

• If a previous version of Peformaar was in use, the browser may cache the user interface and therefore not show the updated UI from v0.10. The recommended workaround is to clear the browser cache after installing v0.10. As verification, the Settings > About page in the UI should say v0.10.0.

Added​

• Volume and fullscreen controls for live streams and recorded videos.

Known Issues​

• Session live stream and Recording live stream volume controls hidden and streams with audio muted by default.
• Changing the layout of videos during live streams and recording playback hasn't been implemented yet.
• User Management is currently not implemented.
• The map on the data dashboard still uses Google Maps so won't work offline yet.
• Destination address for DIS packets when playing back a recording with DIS data is currently not configurable.
• The on-disk location of the media storage is currently not configurable.
