Avalon 7.8 includes a new component for searching transcripts within the transcript viewer, dependency upgrades, and a variety of bug fixes and minor improvements.

Search, Navigation, and UI Updates

  • Upgraded to Ramp 3.2, which includes a component for searching within documents in the transcript viewer with rich navigation and match highlighting
  • IIIF Content Search service
  • Playback rate control: media playback speed can be decreased or increased with a widget in the media player
  • Catalog searches return more quickly
  • IIIF manifest URL added to the Share panel
  • Embedded media player now uses Ramp

Other Major Changes and Updates

  • Captions can be marked as transcript documents, allowing them to serve as both captions in the media player as well as a document within the transcript viewer
  • The Avalon API now allows for CRUD operations for supplemental files, including caption and transcript files
  • Batch ingest now accepts columns captions and transcript files and metadata
  • Transcript language can now be specified per file
  • New configuration added to provide a link for direct download of derivatives through the UI
  • New recordChangeDate field to track the last change to descriptive metadata

  • File size limit for web upload changed to remove the 2 GB default
  • Added setting for configuring alternative Rack tempfile location
  • Bibliographic ID value added to the search index for instances where import is not performed

Bug Fixes

  • Short playlist descriptions do not results in buttons next to text
  • Playlist description is now collapsed by default
  • Poster and thumbnail images are no set to improper aspect ratios for certain video container files
  • Added handling for media whose ratio is defined in metadata and was not reported by mediainfo
  • Limit the number of stream tokens in a user session to avoid session overflow errors
  • Timecode values in the Timeliner tool display properly for media longer than 60 minutes
  • Fixed an internal error when saving a parent object fails
