Cancellations & Deprecations

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 / CentOS 7 are not longer supported with VidiCore 24.1

With the upcoming release 24.2, Solr will no longer be supported as search index. Customers need to use OpenSearch instead.

To support this, the following feature was developed in 24.1: Inhertiance Rules

The API methods under /relation have been deprecated and superseded by /item/relation. See below at "Support non-hierarchical relationship between collections" for details.

Features

Ability to remove/add an item from the search index (item 224463)

It is now possible to mark items to not be present in the search index at all:

CODE 
PUT /item/(item-id)/indexed

If the parameter indexed is set to false, the item is removed for the search index; setting it to true brings it back to the index.

See Items - Vidispine REST API documentation for details.

Use language code for subtitle burn-in (ticket 227303)

If a language is specified when doing subtitle burn-in, VidiCore now only uses the timed metadata containing that language code.

Update Elastic APM agent (ticket 226530)

The Elastic APM agent was updated to version 1.45.0.

Respect storage priority for conform jobs (ticket 226592)

Conform jobs now use the defined storage priority to select the source video locations.

Support of inheritance rules for metadata (tickets 226242 & 226858)

Inheritance rules can be used to set one or more rules for inherited fields based on conditions. It is also possible to configure the field to be inherited with another name in the target object.

This allows for example to inherit the field title of a collection to the items inside as “collection_title”.

See Inheritance Rules - Vidispine REST API documentation for details.

Support non-hierarchical relationship between collections (tickets 227242 & 227829)

Collection-to-collection relations can be defined in the same way as item-to-item relations. For API consistency, the existing item-to-item relation calls under /relation were moved to /item/relation. The deprecated API path /relation is deprecated, but will be supported for backward compatibility at least until version 24.4.

See Collection-to-collection relations — Vidispine REST API documentation for details.
