Migrated to Python 3 and Flask

This code was using an obsolete version of Google App Engine that is based upon Python 2. This is the first release to use Python 3, with Flask and SQLAlchemy to provide the web framework and database.

This is a breaking change that requires all data to be manually migrated from the v1.6

DASH event boxes

PlayReady v1.0 support

PlayReady v1.0 support

In some situations it is useful to be able to limit the PlayReady features to be compatible with a particular version of PlayReady. This release adds a "playready_version" CGI parameter that is used to set the version parameter in the PlayReady class. It must be set to a floating point number in the range 1.0 to 4.0.

When playready_version is set to 1.0 the schemeIdUri field in the ContentProtection element will be set to the PlayReady v1.0 UUID rather than the normal PlayReady UUID.

Added

• PlayReady v1.0 UUID
• "playready_version" CGI parameter

v1.0

LA_URL override support

Added

• override the LA_URL specified in the stream settings.
