So, anyword on when the first of the 2019 updates is going to be released
ReplyDeleteWe don't have precise plans for dates of future releases. But as you can see, we're doing it on a regular basis. If you have any specific request, pelase use our helpdesk: https://wmspanel.com/help
DeleteThank you.
I do have a question regarding 3.5.6-4 May 07 2019
ReplyDeletesupport limiting streaming bandwidth in WMSAuth rules
increase backlog for SRT multipoint listener socket
in paywall it says limiting bandwidth is wowza only has that always been the case it just seems odd that feature is just NOW being added to nimble
Hello Doug,
DeleteWe've removed UI note that it is for Wowza only, currently it works for both Wowza and Nimble (and previously it did not work for Nimble as note stated).
