Changelog inoRain

We've launched Channel Builder, a new way to run linear television from content you already own. Alongside it, a dedicated VOD streaming service, RTMP ingest, HLS generation and an authenticated CDN complete the delivery stack underneath.

What Channel Builder does

Operators can now create and manage live channels built from the VOD library - schedule titles into a linear stream and broadcast them as a channel. The library you've been renting out on demand becomes programming, without new content, new rights or new production. For operators whose audiences still want something to just turn on and watch, it bridges broadcast and streaming in one workflow.

This release removes the most common reason people abandon sign-up, and brings two of the world's largest content libraries inside your app.

Magic Link login

Viewers can now sign in with a secure one-click link sent to their email. No password to create, no password to forget, no recovery flow to fail at - which shows up directly in sign-up conversion and in the volume of support requests you never receive.

YouTube integration

You can now embed YouTube content across TV, mobile and web - trailers, promotional videos and live streams. No separate hosting, no duplicate uploads, and playback and management stay inside the platform.

Getting content onto the platform and into your viewers' languages used to be the slowest part of running a catalog. This release attacks both.

Bulk upload for whole seasons and libraries

You can now upload an entire season, series or content library in a single operation instead of title by title. What took an afternoon takes one action.

##Automatic metadata from TMDB

Episode metadata, artwork and descriptions are now fetched automatically from TMDB. Your catalog arrives complete rather than needing a second pass to fill in what's missing.
