In a few weeks the Server for our lecture capture system is going to be updated to a new version (v 4.7). It is not a fundamental change, but is to bring some enhanced functionality.<\/p>\n
The major benefit will be the change to recording and using videos using HLS rather than Silverlight. This means that the playback will use Flash and HTML 5 to stream a version of the content specific to the watching device. The upshot of this should mean that if you watch a recording on a PC, Mac, tablet or phone, you should get a much better experience by having a version of the content specifically suited to your device.<\/p>\n
We'll confirm the actual date when Panopto confirm the date to us, as there will be a small downtime whilst the upgrade happens. The update usually happens in the early hours of a Saturday evening\/Sunday morning. We understand that it may be happening on 23 November from 2-5am.<\/p>\n
After this update, the next scheduled one after that will be in July 2015.<\/p>\n
