Maintenance release

Fixes

• Fixes regression introduced in version 7.2.2, leading to DVR streams starting at an incorrect default position (start of the DVR window instead of live edge).

Maintenance release

Improvements

• Mitigates startup issue with malformed on-demand streams containing misaligned timestamps (such streams should still be fixed but at least the player will behave in a better was in the meantime).

Maintenance release for Xcode 14

• The minimum deployment target has been bumped to iOS 12.
• This release makes sure the project builds with Xcode 14 without any significant warning.
• Restore Catalyst support with Xcode 14 (#105).

Maintenance release

• Remove assertions which could not always be entirely fulfilled.

Forced subtitles support

• When no subtitles have been explicitly enabled, forced subtitles matching the currently selected audio language are automatically displayed.

Maintenance release

• Fix playback rate sometimes not immediately changed when playing a DVR stream (#117).
• Update layout implementation.

Playback rate

New features

• The controller supports the rates 0.5×, 0.75×, 1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, 2× for slow, normal or fast playback. These supported values are returned from the supportedPlaybackRates property and the desired rate can be set using the newly available playbackRate property.
• Livestreams might not always support some playback speeds. The effectivePlaybackRate property returns the currently applied playback rate.
• On iOS:
  • The track selection button has been transformed into a settings button from which playback speed, audio track and subtitles can be selected.
  • The settings button is visible at all times, not only when subtitles are available. The subtitle selection state is similarly not reflected anymore by the button itself.
  • The button delegate protocol provides new methods called when the user picks a playback speed, audio track or subtitles.
• On tvOS:
  • Playback speed can be selected using a dedicated button available from SRGMediaPlayerViewController main user interface.
  • The SRGMediaPlayerViewControllerDelegate protocol provides a new delegate method called when the playback speed is changed (no similar methods are provided for audio or subtitle track selection for technical reasons, though).

Improvements

• Playback setting window colors have been tweaked for better readability.
• Add slider dragging start and strop delegate methods to SRGTimeSliderDelegate.
• Add support for slider increment and decrement accessibility gestures (#116).

Fix

• Fix tvOS 15 crashes when playing another media.

Breaking changes

• SRGTracksButton has been renamed as SRGPlaybackSettingsButton.
• The alwaysHidden playback settings button property has been removed, as the button is now always visible. Simply use the hidden property when you need to hide the button.
• The selectedImage playback settings button property has been removed, as there is no selected state anymore.
• SRGTracksButtonDelegate has been renamed as SRGPlaybackSettingsButtonDelegate. Existing method signatures have been updated appropriately.

Migration instructions

If you were previously using SRGTracksButton:

• Update any code or resource (storyboard, xib) explicitly referencing the SRGTracksButton class, replacing it with SRGPlaybackSettingsButton.
• Update the SRGMediaPlayerDesignables.m file if you were using it by copying the updated file available from the Designables source code folder.
• Replace calls to alwaysHidden with hidden.
• Update your button delegate protocol implementation to SRGPlaybackSettingsButtonDelegate.

Maintenance release

• Fix crash when playing another media on tvOS 15.2 (#114).
