Just Playout 2026.1.0.B1.1552 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2026.0.0.GM.360. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Improved performance and stability using AJA devices, particularly under heavy loads.
  • Improved compatibility with HTTP/1.1 keep-alive connections using the REST API.
  • The REST API now supports https:// connections in addition http://. If there is a certificate installed at ~/Library/Application Support/ToolsOnAir/certs/server.p12, then it will be used and the REST server will only accept https:// connections. If there is no certificate installed, the REST server will only accept http:// connections. If there is currently no certificate installed, the configuration panel now has an additional "Install Self-Signed Certificate (HTTPS)" button that will install a default self-signed certificate on the local system. Note that most modern browsers will show a security alert when using such a certificate and ask you to accept the certificate before connecting.

  • When assigning an image to an “empty” viewer in the multi-viewer, the image is now “clipped” to the viewer’s size depending on the scaling selected. For example, “Resize Aspect Fill” will ensure that the aspect is preserved while filling the available viewer area, but now without exceeding the bounds of the viewer.
  • When selecting an empty viewer in the multi-viewer, there is a new “Channel Preview” option that allows you to display a channel’s preview in the viewer, including a channel’s live input if enabled for the channel. This allows you to monitor the channel’s live input in the multi-viewer even if the live input is not currently on-air, or the channel’s backup engine’s output if redundant playout is enabled for the channel. Both can be useful for confidence monitoring during playout.

  • When configuring an engine’s preview settings, there are additional fields to change the ports used to send the preview and (if enabled for the channel) the live input preview.
  • In the configuration panel there is a new “Show All Ports” button that displays a list of all ports used by the device, channels and engines. This can be useful to identify possible conflicts, and for system administrators for networks with a firewall to ensure that all ports are open on the network.
  • Updated the “TOA Template Package ReadMe” link in the DMG for the 2026 release.

Just Playout 2026.0.0.A1.1512 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2026.0.0.GM.349. Please refer to separate release notes.

  • All timecode overlays now correctly use “;” instead of a “:” between the second and frames for drop-frame timecode.
  • For live channels, the view menu in the scheduling tab has 4 additional menu items: “Load Selected Item”, “Load And Cue Selected Item”, “Load And Play Selected Item” and “Clear, Load And Play Selected Item”. These correspond to the “double-click” options available in the App settings, but they are now always accessible via the menu or keyboard shortcut. In each case, first select one item in the workbench and then either the menu item or the keyboard shortcut. In combination with the cursor keys, these actions allow for quick keyboard-only operation.

Just Playout 2026.0.0.A1.1509 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2026.0.0.GM.347. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in a channel configured with live input default pass-through always passing any VANC data from the live input to the output, even if video was being played over the live input.
  • With a multi-channel setup, the TOA System Profile now includes the logs from each engine with the name “<Channel Name> <Engine Name>.zip” to prevent naming conflicts if, for example, all of the channels had an engine with the same name e.g. “Primary”. This ensures that the System Profile includes all of the logs from all of the engines on all of the channels.

Just Playout 2026.0.0.A1.1508 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2026.0.0.GM.347. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in unexpected behaviour if the selected device was connected to the system but unavailable (e.g. in use by another App). Specifically, no error was displayed, but the output did not start correctly and quitting Just Out resulted in a stall requiring a force quit. Now, if the device isn’t available, Just Out will continuously restart itself until the device becomes available.
  • When a video with OP-47 subtitles finishes playing out (either scheduled or using jump to next), the subtitles are now cleared to prevent subtitles remaining on air until another video with subtitles is played out.
  • Any outgoing SCTE-104 VANC messages are now logged in the channel’s “Messages” inspector group. Hovering over the message in the inspector will display a tooltip with more information about the specific SCTE-104 message.

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2026.0.0.GM.347. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented channels with SDI (AJA or Blackmagic) configured for RGBA fill+key output correctly outputting a key signal on the output adjacent to the fill output.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in a channel configured with live input default pass-through always passing any VANC data from the live input to the output, even if video was being played over the live input.

Just Playout 2026.0.0.A1.1505 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2026.0.0.GM.347. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • The “Audio Monitor” multi-viewer inspector group has been renamed “Preview Monitor” and now has an additional checkbox to enable monitoring of closed captioning. When enabled, if the output signal (or if the live input is currently on-air, the input signal) includes CEA608 or 708 VANC captioning, the live preview will overlay the captions. Additionally there is a “Show Captions” menu item in the “View” menu in the scheduling tab for each channel.
  • The AJA device selection popup menu is now disabled if the configuration panel is currently locked or the channel is active.
  • When adding a channel to an existing setup in the configuration panel, the setup wizard now finishes correctly once the channel has been created.
  • When adding a channel to an existing setup in the configuration panel, the multi-channel options are now disabled as they are currently only available when setting up a new, clean system. If you already have channels and wish to switch to a multi-output setup (more than one Just Out running on the same system), please use the ToolsOnAir Uninstaller first to start with a clean system.
  • Fixed a crash starting Just Out if the port used to send the live preview was already in use.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in unexpected behaviour if your system had two or more Blackmagic devices attached.

Just Playout 2026.0.0.A1.1504 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2026.0.0.GM.346. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Each instance of Just Out (Just Out 2, Just Out 3, Just Out 4) now produces a separate log file instead of all sharing a single log file.
  • Removed an unnecessary “Notification” alert once per day related to the license check.
  • Updated the icons for Just Out 2, Just Out 3 and Just Out 4 to make the number more prominent.
  • Updated the license watermark “blips” shown when a channel isn’t licensed to make it more apparent that the watermark is related to an unlicensed channel.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in any VANC data from the live input being passed through to the output even if the live input wasn’t currently active/visible.
  • If you have a valid license with the end of maintenance date set, this is now displayed in the “Activation” tab in the configuration panel.

Just Playout 2026.0.0.A1.1503 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2026.0.0.GM.345. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Fixed a crash after selecting an AJA device for output.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in a channel from v2025.4 configured to use AJA or Blackmagic devices for input or output reporting missing video device after updating to this version.
  • When configuring a new system, if you select a multi-channel setup the option to use AJA devices is now disabled as AJA devices are currently only supported for single channel setups.

Just Playout 2026.0.0.A1.1502 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2026.0.0.GM.345. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Updated all DMG and in-App links for the 2026 release.
  • The “Just Out 2”, “Just Out 3” and “Just Out 4” Apps now have different icons with “2”, “3” and “4” included to make it easier to identify the different Apps in the Dock and/or App Switcher.

Just Playout 2026.0.0.A1.1501 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2026.0.0.GM.345. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Fixed a crash in Just Out if an AJA device was attached to the system.
  • Fixed a bug where stopping and re-starting a channel using a Blackmagic device resulted in the channel not starting correctly and “freezing”, requiring a “Force Quit” of Just Out.
  • Removed duplicate channel settings groups in the multi-view inspector that are now found in the scheduling tab inspector.
  • When configuring an engine to use AJA or Blackmagic hardware, there are new UI controls showing the actual devices found on the system, allowing you to choose the exact input and/or output port to use for the channel. Note that devices can only be shown once Just Out has been started once. If Just Out has not yet been started, or if no relevant devices were found on the system, a relevant warning is displayed.
  • After installation, the “/Applications/Just Playout” folder now contains three additional Apps, “Just Out 2”, “Just Out 3” and “Just Out 4”. In combination with “Just Out”, this allows you to start up to 4 Just Out engines on the same system for multi-channel operation.
  • Changed the default port used to send the preview from 8554 to 8590 to prevent collisions with some RTC/WebRTC services.
  • When configuring a new system, the setup wizard has an additional popup menu allowing you to set up a single channel system, or a multi-channel system with 2, 3 or 4 channels. Note that AJA hardware is not currently supported for multi-channel setups.

Just Playout 2026.6.0.A1.1500 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2026.0.0.GM.344. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Updated to NDI v6.3 for improved performance and stability when using NDI.
  • Video and SimpleFX layers have a clickable “visibility” button in the timeline as was previously already the case for FX layers. Clicking on the button toggles the visibility on and off, or, in addition there is a new “Toggle Visible Layers” menu in the “View” menu with menu items for the individual layers. Finally, these menu items have keyboard shortcuts allowing quick toggling of layer visibility using the keyboard.
  • If the engine is configured for live input, hiding the video layer automatically shows the live input. This can be used as an “emergency broadcast” or “breaking news” feature, allowing instant switching from the current schedule to live input and back. Note that scheduled items are never altered by this action, so some items may never be played out at all. For example, if you hide the video layer for 30 minutes in order to show the live input, anything previously scheduled for those 30 minutes will never be played out.

Just Playout 2025.4.1.GM.1466 Release Notes

Just Playout 2025.4.0.B1.1450 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2025.4.0.GM.328. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • If live input is enabled for a channel, it is now possible to preview the current input in the user interface even if it is not currently on air. To preview, simply select “Live Input” in the library, open the preview below the library, move the mouse over the preview area and click on the “play” button just as with previewing video, audio or FX files.
  • Added an additional option to output RTMP (or RTMPS) for streaming to YouTube, Wowza or other video servers. When configuring there is an additional button for YouTube for quick configuration using the stream ID from YouTube.
  • The restriction that the live input and output “device” are the same (e.g. SDI, NDI) has been lifted, enabling many more combinations such as SDI output with NDI live input or vice-versa. To this end, the engine configuration panel has been redesigned, with the “Streaming” tab and the device selection in the “Setup” tab now replaced by “Input” and “Output” tabs allowing individual configuration for the input and output including the device to use.

Just Playout 2025.4.0.B1.1449 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2025.4.0.GM.327. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in unexpected results rendering any FX (Quartz Composer, Composition Builder, HTML) in any interlaced format, particular with movement / animation (e.g. scroller, crawler).

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2025.4.0.GM.326. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in Composition Builder graphics without any stop-frames defined not rendering at all.
  • When selecting an RGBA format, there are now two colourspaces available, one with the suffix “Pre-multiplied RGBA” and one with “Straight RGBA”. You can select the one most suited to the video mixer or downstream equipment that you are using as some will work with pre-multiplied RGBA, some will not, and some will accept both.

Just Playout 2025.4.0.B1.1447 Release Notes

  • This version includes Composition Builder 2025.4.0.GM.325. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • The Just Control App settings “Playout” tab there is a new “Show video timecode where available”. By default this is off, but when selected the video trimmers (both library and inspector) and the inspector fields for in- and out-points will display timecode relative to the video asset’s timecode track. So, for example, if the in-point is set to one second after the start of the video, and the video has a timecode track with the first frame specified as 10:00:00:00, then the in-point in the inspector and trimmers would be shown as 10:00:01:00.
  • When configuring the engine in the “Engine & Layers” tab, the “Setup” tab has a new “Output video timecode if available” checkbox. By default this is off, but when selected the timecode sent to the SDI output will be the timecode specified by the currently playing video instead of the channel’s current clock time. Using the previous example, the first frame of the video would have the timecode 10:00:01:00 on the SDI output. This setting also affects the timecode shown in the Just Control’s user interface, as it shows the engine’s output timecode. So here the main timecode in the user interface would also show 10:00:01:00 instead of the current clock time.

Note that activation now requires the system running Just Connect to have a live internet connection.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in incorrect colours from an FX template (Quartz Composer, Composition Builder, HTML) when using transparency. For example, a pixel in an FX defined with full red and 50% alpha (1, 0, 0, 0.5) should result in a red value of 0.5 or 50% (1 * 0.5), but instead was resulting in a value of 0.25 or 25% (1 * 0.5 * 0.5).
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in incorrect alpha values in the “key” output when using SDI Fill+Key via an RGBA format. For example, a pixel with an alpha of 50% or 0.5 would result in a key value of 25% or 0.25 (0.5 * 0.5).
  • The majority of the channel settings (users, user interfaces, gaps, FX and SFX) have been moved from the multi-viewer inspector to a new “Channel” tab in the scheduling tab inspector.

  • If you try to remove all of the current users from a channel, you will see an error and be asked to remove fewer users as a channel without users is unusable.
  • All changes to users including name and password are now applied “live”, meaning if you rename the user currently “logged in”, you will automatically be disconnected and will need to log in again using a different, valid user name.
  • Fixed a bug that could result in a channel’s “action button” (e.g. to open the scheduling UI) disappearing after logging into Just Control, requiring you to move the mouse out of and back inside of the channel viewer to show the action button.

  • When configuring and channel with NDI live input, there is a new “NDI Timecode Mode” setting in the “Streaming” tab in the engine’s configuration panel with the options “NDI UTC Timestamps” and “SMPTE Timecode”. The former expects frames with standard NDI UTC timestamps, as provided by the majority of NDI devices. The latter expects SMPTE timecode encoded as 100ths of a nanosecond. This may be useful in conjunction with some devices such as the AJA Bridge that take embedded SDI SMPTE timecode and converts it for use with NDI.
  • Quartz Composer and Composition Builder templates with multi-live text input fields with up to 5 lines are now supported in the Just Play and Just Live inspectors.
  • When configuring items in the “User Interfaces” group in the multi-view inspector, the “IP” column is now wider to prevent clipping of longer IP addresses.

Just Playout 6.0.0.A1.1373 Release Notes

  • This alpha release of Just Play and Just Live 6.0.0 is only intended for testing and should not be used for production purposes.
  • This version includes Composition Builder 5.0.1.GM.247. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • This version of Just Playout uses an all-new graphics pipeline based on Apple’s Metal graphics framework. Some features may not be implemented, some may behave unexpectedly and there may be stability issues.
  • This version of Just Playout uses an all-new low-latency processing pipeline, resulting in most actions (jump to next in Just Play, starting/stoping media in Just Live, changing properties) being reflected on-air much more quickly.
  • Improved the visual quality of the live channel feed in Just Control. In addition, for HDR channels the live channel feed is now mapped back to SDR.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in QTZ / Composition Builder stop frames being ignored after playing the template the first time in a Just Live channel.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in Just Out “freezing” (spinning wheel) after either quitting or stopping the channel in Just Control, requiring a “Force Quit”.

Just Playout 6.0.0.A1.1372 Release Notes

  • This alpha release of Just Play and Just Live 6.0.0 is only intended for testing and should not be used for production purposes.
  • This version includes Composition Builder 5.0.1.GM.247. Please refer to separate release notes.

  • Just Out can now play out Rec.2020 HDR content in either HLG or PQ using a Blackmagic or AJA device. In order to select HDR output, you must first select a UHD 10-bit format and then the correct colourspace in the menu underneath the format selection. SDR content will be mapped to HDR using a spine-curve tone-mapper.
  • Updated the “TOA System Checker” App with the latest Mac models and GPUs, and added a check that the local calendar format is Gregorian, as this is a requirement when running this software.
  • In Just Control’s settings there is a new “Error display” option to set how errors and warnings are displayed in the multi-viewer. The new “Show icon in the lower bar” setting shows a small warning icon in the channel’s lower bar next to the timecode option button when the channel has any warnings or errors. Clicking on the button opens the inspector if closed to the “Settings” tab to show any messages. Using control-click will clear any messages for the channel. The “Show icon and status over the viewer” setting shows the “ERRORS” status with warning icons over the channel’s preview, as was the case in previous versions.
  • Renamed the “Warnings and Errors” group in the inspector to “Messages”.
  • Fixed missing station ID SimpleFX for UHD channels.
  • Fixed an occasional crash when quitting or restarting Just Out.
  • Resolved a bug where videos that didn’t match the channel’s frame-rate with an in-point set would start playing at an incorrect frame.
  • Fixed a bug where changing a video’s in-point in Just Live for a video on the workbench resulted in the video playing from the first frame instead of the in-point.
  • Compositions using the “TOA Engine Output” (which is discontinued in this version) now no longer render a grey rectangle for the output. Instead, nothing is rendered leaving the background transparent.
  • Updated Blackmagic drivers to release 14.3. If you are using Blackmagic devices, please update your system to this release.
  • Updated NDI to v6.1 for improved stability and performance.
  • NDI VANC metadata is now sent using the standard recommended root XML tag to ensure better interoperability with other NDI devices.
  • Just Connect now automatically publishes a HTTP REST API. To access the documentation, open a browser to http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html (or the IP address of the machine running Just Connect instead of “localhost”, or use the button in the device settings in Just Control.

  • The restriction on mixing videos with different timebases has been fully lifted, meaning that any video encoded with a “standard” broadcast timebase can be played on any channel. Frames are duplicated or dropped to match the channel’s timebase.
  • Fixed a crash in Just Control when scanning the metadata for the library.

Just Playout 6.0.0.A1.1368 Release Notes

  • This alpha release of Just Play and Just Live 6.0.0 is only intended for testing and should not be used for production purposes.

  • The restriction on mixing videos with different timebases has been partially lifted. Specifically, videos with a factor of either 2 or 0.5 compared to the channel’s timebase can now be scheduled on the channel, for example p25 on a p50 channel or vice-versa. Such videos are now coloured yellow in the library in Just Play and Just Live’s scheduling tab, and can be selected, previewed and trimmed, and dragged and dropped into the schedule / workbench. When playing, frames will be dropped or duplicated to match the channel’s timebase. Note that the frames part of the duration shown in the library and the scheduled duration will be different due to the different timebases. For example, a p25 video with a duration of 00:00:10:10 (10 seconds and 10 frames) scheduled on a p50 channel will have a duration of 00:00:10:20, as each frame is doubled.
  • The “Playback Speed” property for videos in a Just Live channel is now respected by Just Out, allowing for “slow motion” playback of video.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in an incorrect “fill” part of the “video+fill” output (for RGBA formats).
  • Resolved an issue that resulted in hidden FX layers still showing the FX (infinite FX layers could be hidden, but not “regular” FX).

Just Playout 5.1.0.GM.1255 Release Notes

  • This version requires a 5.0 license code, invalidating any older license codes. If you already have a valid license code for a previous version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
  • This version includes Composition Builder 5.0.1.GM.206. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in the library’s “codec” column incorrectly showing red for field order mismatches, particularly progressive movie files for channels set to a progressive format. Additionally, items dropped into the schedule previously showed an incorrect “Interlaced” selection in the inspector, for example “Interlaced, Upper” instead of “Progressive”, now the selection should match the file’s settings.

Once complete, the library will respond as quickly as before the update.
  • Resolved a bug that resulted in the “Invert Fields” property being automatically enabled when dropping a progressive movie file into the schedule of a channel set to a progressive format. Now this property is only automatically enabled for interlaced channels when the field order doesn’t match.

Just Playout 4.0.0.A1.1041 Release Notes

  • This alpha release of Just Play and Just Live 4.0.0 is only intended for testing and should not be used for production purposes.
  • This version requires a new 4.0 license code, invalidating any older license codes. If you already have a valid license code for a previous version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
  • This version includes Composition Builder 5.0.0.GM.122. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes resulted in the SimpleFX status shown in the timeline (both for Just Play and Just Live’s scheduling tabs) not matching the actual status of the SimpleFX elements shown on the channel’s output.
  • When fading SimpleFX elements in or out, the fades are now correct, previously they were visually incorrect (colours in the elements were fading to black instead of becoming transparent).

Just Playout 4.0.0.A1.1040 Release Notes

  • This alpha release of Just Play and Just Live 4.0.0 is only intended for testing and should not be used for production purposes.
  • This version requires a new 4.0 license code, invalidating any older license codes. If you already have a valid license code for a previous version, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
  • This version includes Composition Builder 5.0.0.GM.122. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • When a channel that is in “2N Redundancy mode” is stopped, all backup engines are no longer automatically stopped but instead left to run while all main engines are stopped. Although the backup engines will no longer receive updates, this means that they can usually run for another 4-8 hours (depending on the scheduled items) without “going black”. Once the channel is started, all main engines should automatically resume playing, and once they are fully configured all backup engines will automatically restart in order to receive the updated configuration. This means that in a “2N Redundancy” configuration changes can be made to the channel without an interrupted signal.
  • The live channel preview in the multi-viewer and scheduling tab now switches automatically between running main and backup engines, so that stopping a main engine no longer results in the preview stopping. As long as at least one engine is running, the preview in Just Control should always show a live stream.
  • Updated the links in the DMG for the new v4 documents.
  • When using “jump to next” in Just Play, the As Run Log now correctly shows both the scheduled (original) duration and the duration actually played out.
  • For channels with backup engines, after using “jump to next” in Just Play, the As Run Log now correctly shows both the scheduled (original) duration and the duration actually played out. Note that the duration will be slightly longer for backup engines compared to main engines.
  • After upgrading a channel from a previous version to use the new “SimpleFX” feature, any pre-scheduled playlists or saved playlists that are dropped into the schedule are now correctly updated to have the correct information related to SimpleFX.
  • When generating a System Profile, “.ips” crash reports generated by newer versions of macOS are now included.

  • Fixed a bug that caused changes to the SimpleFX or InfiniteFX fade in/out parameters not to be saved.
  • The “Hidden Timeline Layers” in the “View” menu in Just Play and Just Live’s scheduling tab now includes the SimpleFX layer if the channel has one.
  • The status of the SimpleFX “Live Bug” is now correctly shown in Just Live’s scheduling tab depending on the active mode selected for the channel.
  • Fixed a bug that caused logs from a channel’s active engines to be missing from a system profile.
  • When creating a system profile, the option to exclude files older than a given period is now respected for logs and files from a channel’s active engines.
  • When creating a system profile, the option to remove any excluded (older) logs and files is now respected.
  • When creating a system profile, crash reports and other relevant files from a channel’s active engines are now included, not just the log files.
  • When creating a system profile, logs and files sent from a channel’s active engines are now first compressed, making the process to collect the system profile significantly faster.
  • In the channel’s scheduling tab’s inspector, only relevant options for the SimpleFX Layer Control are presented. For example, if the channel does not have a “Live Bug” defined, the option to disable the bug will not be shown in the inspector.

Just Playout 4.0.0.A1.1037 Release Notes

  • This alpha release of Just Play and Just Live 4.0.0 is only intended for testing and should not be used for production purposes.

  • After logging into Just Control, any multi-viewer inspector groups that are “collapsed” now have the correct icon next to the title and correctly expand when clicked.
  • Added a new “Heartbeat timeout” property to the engine configuration panel. This allows you to specify a longer timeout that is used to detect that Just Out has stopped sending heartbeats and should be disconnected. This may be relevant when using failover control when network issues may sometimes cause heartbeats to drop out for a few seconds.
  • After changing the “auto-hide Finder colour” of an FX or SimpleFX layer, the change is now immediately shown in the scheduling tab without needing to restart Just Control and/or Just Connect.
  • When an “auto-hide Finder colour” is defined for a SimpleFX layer, dropping a movie into the timeline with the same Finder tag defined now automatically disables the channel “bug” for the movie.

  • This version includes Composition Builder 5.0.0.GM.118. Please refer to separate release notes.
  • When a “default gap movie” is defined, it is now only played out when either a) a placeholder is on-air (that was never updated with media), or b) a movie is scheduled but the asset is missing or unreadable. In the case that a gap is scheduled in a playlist, or nothing is scheduled, either nothing will be played out, or the “default gap playlist” if one is defined for the channel.
  • Fixed a bug where changing the attributes of a graphic at the “last minute” (a few seconds before it was scheduled to play out) caused the graphic to begin playing immediately (too early).
  • Removed spurious logs playing out a movie where the asset was missing.
  • In the “As Run Log”, a movie where the asset was missing is now correctly logged as “Not Aired” (if no “default gap movie” is defined for the channel), or “Filler Aired” if the channel’s “default gap movie” was played out instead.

  • When logging out or quitting Just Control, the “locked” state of the multi-viewer’s inspector is now saved and restored when the user is logged back in.
  • When logging out or quitting Just Control, the “collapsed” state of each group in the multi-viewer’s inspector is saved and restored when the user is logged back in.

  • Updated the “Jump To Next” action button in Just Play’s on-air viewer and the group button’s icon in the multi-viewer.
  • It is no longer possible to drag and drop elements between the workbench and timeline in Just Play’s scheduling tab. Dragging items within the workbench and/or timeline works as before.
  • Inserting or removing a video from the video layer now “inserts” or “deletes” the given time from an audio layer as was previously the case with FX and event layers. This means than an audio item scheduled to be played out during a video will be removed if the video itself is deleted.
  • Just Control’s preferences panel has an additional third “Mouse Behaviour” called “Action Button” that can be used to control when the viewer’s action button is shown or hidden. For example, by setting all three options to “Hide”, the multi-viewer can now be configured to never show the action button at all, so all actions can only be triggered by using keyboard shortcuts and/or the group action buttons.

  • When creating a new channel in Just Control, the default buffer size for Just Out is now 2 seconds for all output formats.
  • Fixed a bug that caused unexpected behaviour rendering graphics after playing out a graphic that included the “live engine output” as part of the composition.
  • When creating event presets to control a Blackmagic ATEM device, the inputs can now be specified by name as well as by index. So, for example, “MP1” can be used to switch to the Media Player 1, “BLK” for black, “COL1” for a colour, or any of the camera labels including any that are user-defined. You can specify both the “short” or “long” names. As event presets are also used for failover control, failover events can now also switch to the “internal” inputs such as the media players.
  • The “Closed Captions” license option has been renamed to “VANC Data” to reflect the fact that SCTE events are now supported. A valid VANC license option will enable both closed caption and SCTE VANC output.

  • When a video in Just Live has been cued or re-cued whilst playing, the live viewer now shows a single “play” button instead of “play” and “cue” as cueing an already cued video does not make sense.
  • For an “active” Just Live channel (one with one or more Just Out engines assigned), the scheduling tab is now “disabled” with an overlay showing “Waiting for engines…” if none of the channel’s assigned engines are currently playing. This prevents issuing commands to a channel without any live engines as these commands cannot currently be executed.

  • Reverted the default Just Connect port to 5000 on all systems including macOS 12 Monterey and later, and added extra information about disabling the AirPlay Receiver to the alert shown if the server fails to start.

Just Play 3.5.0.B1.951 Release Notes

  • This beta release of Just Play 3.5.0 is only intended for testing and should not be used for production purposes.
  • This version requires a new 3.0 license code, invalidating any older 2.0/2.5 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for 2.0/2.5, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
  • The channel configuration panel now has an additional “Failover” tab allowing you to define the event presets that should be executed when the channel is in one of the three states: “Primary”, “Redundant” and “Failover”. The events and presets should first be defined in the “Events” tab. In each case, you specify a delay and one or more event presets when the channel has been running in the given state for the specified number of seconds. For example, if the “Primary” state defines a delay of 2 seconds, once the channel’s primary engine has been running without interruption for 2 seconds, the event presets will be executed. For each state, you might define for example the event preset that will switch a video router (Kumo, VideoHub, ATEM) to the correct SDI input for the relevant “state”. Equally, it is possible to define GPI triggers or any other kind of supported event.
  • When creating a new channel, the primary engine is now called “Primary” and not “Master”.

The channel configuration “Events” tab now has two sub-tabs, one for defining devices and one for defining presets. As the presets are now stored in the channel’s configuration, they are now available automatically on any system logging into the channel via Just Control. Further, when managing multiple channels in Just Control, only the channel’s specific event presets are shown in the library, not the presets for all channels.
  • Fixed user interface issues in Just Control’s preferences panel when running on macOS 11.0.

Just Play 3.1.0.GM.941 Release Notes

Just Play 3.0.1.B1.939 Release Notes

  • This beta release of Just Play 3.0.1 is only intended for testing and should not be used for production purposes.
  • This version requires a new 3.0 license code, invalidating any older 2.0/2.5 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for 2.0/2.5, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
  • HTTP(S) and TCP events now support a third “metadata” parameter type to allow events that respond to schedule metadata such as a movie playing or a movie finished. These events are executed by Just Connect instead of Just Out, and therefore there may be a small delay between the movie playing or finishing and the event being fired.
  • HTTP(S) and TCP string and metadata parameters now have the “Transform” field enabled. For integer parameters, the transform field is an integer offset. For string and metadata fields, the transform field is a regular expression that can be used to ensure that the incoming metadata fields conform to a given format. In the case that the incoming metadata values fail to be parsed by the regular expression, then the event will not fire.
  • Fixed a bug when testing TCP events in Just Control that showed a green “OK” status when the “host” field was empty or had an invalid format.
  • TCP events now respect the event’s timeout setting when trying to connect to an unreachable host.
  • The TCP event configuration panel now also has a “response” field as with HTTP(S) events, and the response is set after testing to reflect the outcome of the test.
  • The “Events” channel configuration tab now has two addition buttons for saving the currently selected event as a preset and for loading a previously saved preset.
  • The “Add Event Preset” panel in Just Play’s “Event” tab now shows a warning that there are no event devices defined if there are devices defined but they are inactive. Previously the warning was only shown if there simply weren’t any event devices defined.

Just Play 3.0.1.B1.938 Release Notes

  • This beta release of Just Play 3.0.1 is only intended for testing and should not be used for production purposes.
  • This version requires a new 3.0 license code, invalidating any older 2.0/2.5 license codes. If you already have a valid license code for 2.0/2.5, please contact ToolsOnAir for a new code before installing this build.
  • Added 2 new types of event: HTTP(S) and TCP. The HTTP(S) event type can be used to construct a URL that is sent to a server that supports a HTTP (REST) API, for example the AJA Kumo video switcher. The TCP event type is similar, but supports devices offering a “plain text” TCP API, for example Blackmagic VideoHub, Ross devices that support RossTalk, Evertz devices that support Evertz Quartz and Sierra devices that support Sierra Aspen. Both event types support parameters changeable by the user that can be used to create a preset, for example setting a specific input on a specific output on a video router. Legacy event devices specific to a certain device (e.g. Blackmagic Videohub) have been disabled and will be automatically migrated to use the new events.
  • Fixed a crash in Just Connect that could occur shortly after midnight.
  • Channels now support up to 7 video layers instead of the previous 3.

  • Just Out’s Diagnostics window now shows the status of the “decode” and “render” pipeline stages in addition to the “output” stage. This shows in more detail where pipeline stalls may be occurring (e.g. slow decoding, slow rendering).
  • The status of the audio monitor is now correctly saved and restored after quitting and starting Just Out, Just Connect and Just Control. For example, if the audio monitor is enabled for a channel and Just Out is re-started, the audio monitor will automatically start once the channel is running.
  • Removed “HD 720p24” from the list of output formats.
  • Fixed a bug where the “full duplex” class of Blackmagic devices (e.g. Ultra Studio 4K) were incorrectly reporting a single switchable port, thus excluding the “Buffered Live Input” modes,
  • For Blackmagic devices that support fill+key output, keying is now automatically enabled by Just Out instead of having to start the “Live key” application.

  • Playout channels now include embedded timecode.
  • When adding a new device to Just Control, the IP address and port are used as the default name until the device is connected for the first time. This avoids devices that never connect (e.g. with an incorrect IP or port) having empty names,
  • Updates to Just Control’s preferences panel.
  • A sensible name is now always shown for all viewers in the multi-viewer. This fixes an issue clicking on the title-bar in a disconnected viewer where some modes would show an empty title meaning it wasn’t possible to click to cycle to the next mode.
  • When adding or removing channels from the configuration panel in Just Connect, the device is now automatically expanded to show its channels so that newly added channels are automatically visible.
  • Added 4 new options to a playout channel’s “format” and “live input” options related to video+fill output without a live input. These are useful when sending graphics to an external mixer.

  • When connecting via the initial setup splash screen, selecting "Cancel" in the device setup wizard now results in Just Control quitting.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented devices being removed correctly in the configuration panel.
  • Groups, selection and inspector open/closed state are now stored per-user.
  • Resolved a bug connecting to a device in the initial setup splash screen after entering an IP address where the entered address reverted to the previously entered value.
  • There is a new "Users" tab in Just Control's preferences panel that allows use to remove users, set passwords and remove or rename multi viewer layouts.
  • The initial setup splash screen now has the local IP address as the default value instead of "localhost". This is because using "localhost" can result in connection issues later connecting from remote systems.

Just Play 3.0.0.A1.860 Release Notes

  • This early alpha release of Just Play 3.0 contains missing and incomplete features and is only intended for testing and should not be used for production purposes.

Just Play 3.0.0.A1.859 Release Notes

  • This early alpha release of Just Play 3.0 contains missing and incomplete features and is only intended for testing and should not be used for production purposes.
  • This version of Just Control now supports multiple users and user switching. When you start Just Control you will see a log-in screen allowing you to enter username, an optional password and a layout template. By default, the username will be the currently logged macOS user. The username and password you enter here will be used when connecting to any playout channels, so they should match one of the users defined in the channel's "Users" configuration. Once you have logged in (and assuming you have previously logged in as this user) you will see the selected multi-viewer layout. The "Just Control" menu has an additional "Log Out ..." menu item that will disconnect all channels and devices and return you to the log-in screen where you can select a different user, or the same user with a different layout template. The "Channels" menu now includes a "New Multi-viewer Layout Template" menu item that allows you to duplicate the current layout template with a new name. Any changes to this layout (e.g. split or join channels, connect new channels) will be made to this new template, so logging out and selecting the previous layout template will return you to the previous layout. This allows you to create different layouts that you can quickly switch between depending on your current job.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed invalid timecodes to be entered for channels using 59.94 drop-frame timecode.
  • The "Remove" button in the device configuration panel is now disabled whenever the "Remove" action cannot be executed.
  • Fixed a crash after removing a device.
  • It is no longer possible to create groups with "mixed" (e.g. ingest and playout) channels, or add channels of a different type to existing groups. Groups may only contain channels of the same type.
  • The group "action" buttons at the bottom right of the inspector now adjust automatically to show the correct buttons for the type of channels in the selected group. When no group is currently selected, the action buttons are now hidden.
  • By default playout channels now have an "open schedule interface" action button instead of double-clicking the viewer. Holding the "alt" key over the action button changes it to the "play next" action button. Both of these actions can be used when multiple channels are selected.
  • If a playout channel cannot be connected (e.g. wrong user/password), the channel is marked with a status label and a "show message" action button. Clicking this button will display more detail on fixing the connection error.

  • Fixed a crash in Just Connect after stopping a channel in order to make changes.
  • Added a timecode overlay to the "up next" poster-frame view at the top-right of Just Play's tab. This timecode shows the remaining time until the "up next" item will be on-air.
  • The "import/export rundown" feature previously available in Just Connect has now been added to Just Control. This allows you to export a rundown for an entire day and then re-import it for a given day or even several days.
  • The "!" workbench column in Just Play's tab now shows the correct icon, either for items that were ended early by clicking on "jump to next", or items that define a sync-point.
  • Resolved an issue with graphic template colour properties that meant that the colour couldn't be changed. Now the colour panel is displayed when clicking the colour in the inspector allowing the colour to be changed.
  • When starting Just Control for the first time, a new "splash screen" is displayed allowing you to connect to your "device" (in this case Just Connect). Once connected, the setup wizard is automatically displayed.
