our latest video player

December 12th, 2011, Toronto - The release of Media Factory 3.0.8 includes some major enhancements in all areas of the Media Factory platform. Check out some of the major updates below and refer to the full release for all information.

Dedicated transcoders

Don't ever want to wait in line for your files to transcode again? Ask your Filemobile sales representative about a dedicated, scalable cloud-based transcoder!

Security

Projects can now be configured to have services return https URLs. For example, using the {$assetbase} variable will automatically return an https:// path to the templates. Also, some components such as <fm:UserAvatar> will automatically request secure URLs from 3rd party services and return the appropriate avatar path. With this configuration, any application can immediately be used in secure environments. Most notably Facebook!

Password security options can now be configured for projects. Features include requiring up to 10-character alphanumerical passwords, and lock-out after multiple failed login attempts.

External Storage

External storage options have been added to media transcoder settings. You can now specify external storage on a transcoder profile basis. For example, you might send video files to a secure streaming server while keeping image thumbnails on our storage servers.

Embed Options

The Embed Options page has received a makeover. Now all stock and custom transcoder profiles can be previewed, and the embed code generator provides a video player that automatically renders in HTML5.

Cheers,

The Filemobile Development Team
