Version 20.1.0

What's new in this release?

  • OPUS support with VidyoConnect
  • When registering to the VidyoPortal, the VidyoReplay checks the system's capabilities, and then one of the following occurs:
  • If the VidyoPortal supports Opus audio, the VidyoReplay configures itself to use Opus audio on the SVC side so when a VidyoReplay recorder joins a VidyoConnect call, the conference continues to use Opus. 
  • If the VidyoPortal does not support Opus audio, the VidyoReplay configures itself to use SPEEX/RED on the SVC side for the recorder. 
  • Record for up to twelve hours
  • You can now record for up to twelve hours continuously.
  • Content share recording profiles are supported for CIF resolution
  • VidyoReplay supports recording shared content at CIF resolution.
  • Conference and application recording mode supported for HD-1080 resolution
  • VidyoReplay supports the "Conference and application" recording mode when recording a conference in full HD 1080p resolution.
  • Important bug fixes
  • In this release, we've addressed some important issues to improve usability and reliability.
  • System updates
  • For added security and stability, updates for multiple third-party packages and libraries are included as part of this release.

VidyoReplay version 19.1.0

Important notices

  • You must upgrade to VidyoReplay version 20.1.0 from VidyoReplay version 19.1.0. Therefore, if you have a VidyoReplay version earlier than 19.1.0, you must first upgrade to 3.1.5 (03) and then upgrade to version 19.1.0. Once you have done so, refer to the Upgrade a VidyoReplay 19.1.0 Cluster to 20.1.0 section below to upgrade from VidyoReplay 19.1.0 to version 20.1.0. These steps must be completed in order.
  • Multiple Super users can be managed only from the Active Controller in a VidyoReplay cluster.

Upgrade a VidyoReplay cluster to 20.1.0

Due to the database changes required for this new feature, the procedure for upgrading an existing Replay cluster is the following:

  1. Upgrade all recording nodes in the cluster. Note: You cannot log in to recorder nodes until the entire cluster upgrade is completed.
  2. Log in to each controller and reconfigure them as standalone.
  3. Log in to each standalone cluster and perform the upgrade.
  4. Log in to the old active controller and reconfigure it in cluster mode. The machine will reboot. Check the portal to see if the machine is properly registered.
  5. Once registered, you can log in with the default user (‘super’). The Users tab should be visible. The Settings > Cluster > Component Status page should show the current machine as an active controller with all the recorders present.
  6. Log in to the old standby controller and reconfigure it in cluster mode. The machine will reboot.
  7. The active controller page located at Settings > Cluster > Component Status should now show the successful replication and that both controllers are currently online.
  8. You can now log in via the UI on any machine in the cluster.

Notes:

  • We recommend taking a snapshot of the machines using VidyoConsole, or via VMware if using a virtual machine.
  • It is mandatory to perform the above procedure step-by-step. Failure to do so may result in unexpected results, including the inability to log in. In such cases, you can revert to a previous snapshot.
  • If a recorder node is reconfigured as standalone, the Users database is cleared and the default username/password combination may be used to log in.
  • If a controller is reconfigured as standalone, the Users database remains untouched.

Compatibility

VidyoReplay version 20.1.0 is compatible with VidyoPortal versions 19.1.0 and later.

If your organization has an on-premises VidyoPortal (rather than a cloud subscription), refer to the Vidyo compatibility matrix to determine which endpoint versions are compatible with your VidyoReplay release.
