Ultimate Playout

Hi @elbizcocho,

We have just released a new update (v1.2.2) that directly resolves the issues you reported.

During our test runs, we tracked down two root causes that matched your exact symptoms:

Memory & VRAM Accumulation: Played cues were holding onto system and GPU memory until a new schedule was loaded. Over a few hours of broadcast, this filled up the shared memory on 8GB RAM / Intel UHD setups, causing longer programs to fail when going on air. Cues now release their memory immediately after playing.

Playback Race Condition & Watchdog: We fixed a timing issue where simultaneous stop/start commands could leave a video stuck on a black screen with only the overlays visible. We also added an automatic recovery watchdog that restarts any stalled video within seconds (or advances the rundown if a file is unreadable) so your broadcast never hangs.

You can download the latest version now from the website. Please give it a run on your setup and let us know how it performs for your team!
