Known Issues and/or Limitations
| MPEG-TS Muxing Overhead |
Because of vbv-buffer compatibility the muxer overhead is set to 80%. This result of this is an overall increased bitrate of 80%, in regards to the configured video bitrate within LTN-Schedule transcoding settings. For example: 10MBit configured within the Schedule UI will result in 18MBit MPEG-TS muxed stream output on the actual MPEG-TS Output (SRT). RTMP and HLS Targets are not affected by that. LTN continues improving this component to reduce the overhead in upcoming updates. |
| Deletion of rundown elements | Deleting more than 2000 assets in the rundown at once does not work. |
| Library bulk delete problems | Deleting more than 500 Assets of the Library can slow down the system. |
| Starting Playback during an ad-break issue |
Starting Playback during an ad-break can cause the current video element to skip to the next one too early when the backup video is overall shorter than the ad-break itself. |
| Control View |
Control View is currently not fully functioning |
| Start Playback not correctly initialized |
When initially starting a rundown with a sequence, it can happen, that the output (program output) is not starting and a red "switch preview URI" info appears on the interface program preview window. To prevent running into this state, please put a single playlist element as first element into the playlist and start from there with using sequences. Skipping into the next element usually also fixes this bad state. |
