New Features

• Support for X.mio5 boards and NMOS discovery.

• Support for both Viz 3.x and Viz 4.x by automatically detecting the installed version (SH-359).

• Ability to configure a Windows Session (as Service Host or User Session) to start Viz Engine. This is a workaround for Windows Session 0 Isolation problems, due to additional operating system restrictions that restrict GPU access from Session 0 (SH-365).

• Support for WIBU OEM licenses and the latest WIBU license format (data stored in the license) (SH-376).

  Note: It may require a refresh/reactivation of existing licenses that lack this information. If an error with "This might be caused by an outdated WIBU license." or missing information happens, the WIBU licenses in the container may need to be updated/renewed. All licenses issued after the end of March 2019 should contain this data already.

• Ability to configure the WIBU license container and core license in the Channel Recorder and WebRTC configuration (SH-379).

Known Issues

• Configuration page needs to fetch the license information. This results in a wait time until the configuration pages for plug-ins show up.

• Service Host is not forward compatible. Configurations created with a newer version will not work on older versions.

• Service Host is not able to start Viz Engine if DCH type of nVidia driver is installed. Try to configure Service Host to start Viz Engine on User Session or clean install "Standard" type of nVidia driver instead.

• Service Host is not able to start Viz Engine when it is configured to start Viz Engine on User Session when no users interactively logging on.

• For WebRTC plug-in, the nVidia Standard Driver is mandatory. DCH drivers are known to be incompatible.

• Special characters not supported when trying to rename services while using Firefox.
