Thumbnail scrubbing, billing management, and automatic app translation
This release improves three different parts of the experience: finding the moment you want in a video, running subscriptions and payments from one place, and serving the app interface in your viewers' own language.
Preview images while scrubbing
Viewers now see preview thumbnails as they drag along the progress bar, so they can find the scene they're looking for instead of guessing and overshooting. It's a small interaction that people notice immediately when it's missing - and it's what makes rewatching a favorite moment effortless.
Billing management
Administrators can now manage subscriptions and payments from a single place - plans, renewals and transactions in one view rather than split across systems. Monetization stops being something you reconcile after the fact and becomes something you operate.
Automatic translation of the mobile app interface
The mobile app interface now works from a managed list of translated terms, so menus, labels and buttons appear in your viewers' language without a separate build per market. Adding a language to the app becomes a content task rather than a development cycle.
Offline downloads on mobile
Viewers can now download VOD titles to their phone and watch them later without a connection - useful on commutes and flights, and meaningful in markets where mobile data is the main cost of watching.
Better audio language handling in the player
We've improved how audio languages are presented and selected in the player, so viewers land on the right track and can switch to the one they want without hunting through it.
Together, these make the app easier to watch, easier to translate, and easier to run.
