Updates

Core Player

• Increased contrast ratio of the quality level label when “Auto” is selected.

Fixes

Core Player

• Fixed an issue causing header logos to be pushed above the viewable area on JW Showcase sites.
• Fixed an issue in Safari that caused duplicate captions tracks to appear in the menu of a small player (<320px wide) when switching captions in a live HLS stream with embedded WebVTT captions.
• Fixed an issue where players in iframes autostarted out of the viewport when autostart: 'viewable' was set.
• Fixed an issue with paused DVR streams in Safari where the player would seek to the live edge when a viewer scrubbed to a specific position.
• Fixed an issue where pausing and resuming a live stream with 708 captions would cause the captions to no longer be in sync with the video.
• Fixed an issue where parsing an hls manifest containing an EXT-X-MEDIA tag with no URI would result in an error, though this is spec compliant.

Advertising

• Fixed an issue with ad frequency rules in the VAST and Google IMA plugins causing audio from a playlist item to play over the next playlist item when used with the playlistItem() event.
