Scrub Bandwidth & Schedule Reliability

· Build 900

Analyse

  • Scrubbing anywhere — the hover bar on the video, shift-dragging a clip edge, drag-creating a clip — now uses the same network-frugal seeking as the timeline playhead; previously these fetched video on every pointer movement and could burst hundreds of Mbps with a multi-angle grid open

Sessions

  • A recurring schedule whose start fails unexpectedly now records the actual error on the schedule and moves on to its next occurrence, instead of retrying every few seconds for an hour and reporting "the server was off"

Server tools

  • New per-box streaming measurement for network investigations — bin/hls_access_log on|off toggles a compact log of video requests, bin/hls_bandwidth_report breaks it down per client/app (bytes, rates, buffering and scrubbing waste); see docs/streaming_bandwidth.md
