New Features
- New redundancy and sync status visibility / configuration. Configure your secondary redundant system (secondary copy or failover) directly within the LTN Schedule settings and see a detailed sync status.

- User triggered version updates. From this version on, you will see when new updates are available and can directly start the update yourself with a click of a button. (not available for all customers)
- Purge old elements from the playlist and from library folders after a certain time.
- Use a live stream as fallback asset.
- Hold Flag for playlist elements. Automatically prolong playback of the current element until hold is disabled or you skip to the next element. Can be applied to live streams and VOD assets.

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. |
| 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. |
| "Remove button" in the inspector of video folders |
The "remove button" in the inspector of video folders is currently not visible in its default state but can be seen when hovering. Also, the state of the "remove button" of folder elements has the wrong state and looks disabled but works normally. |
| Looped state removed from element when edited |
When a looped element gets edited the loop state gets removed automatically. |
