2023-07-18

4.1.7
2023-03-02
Version 4.1.7 improves broadcast startup and streaming by gracefully handling Broadcaster app dropped frames. Dropped frames are a normal condition and most noticeable when network connectivity is unreliable or has weak signal strength. Additional updates include code optimizations for feature and account management. All users are encouraged to upgrade to version 4.1.7.
4.1.5
2022-11-09

4.1.4
2022-10-25
4.1.4 adds Producer as a Source when scheduling or updating a broadcast. Producer is BoxCast's new web based video editing and broadcast managed solution for desktop streaming and editing. Broadcaster app and Producer work together for a complete live streaming experience.
4.1.4 also updates broadcast Destinations - Facebook feature in order to comply with Facebook directed changes for applications like Broadcaster that provide Facebook Account integration and content streaming. This improves the reliability and stability for simulcasting a BoxCast broadcast through your Facebook feeds.
4.1.4 includes an expanded list of Audio format frame types that support newer audio stream formats. The best audio frame type is automatically configured in the stream setup process. Just start a new broadcast the same way as before and BoxCast Flow Control does the rest. This fixes the low-latency Preview for Windows-RTMP software encoders.
4.1.4 fixes Edit duration feature for a live streaming Current Broadcast that has not already ended. Simply tap Edit from the Current Broadcast - Player view to present Edit Broadcast Settings. Swipe to Duration setting, and tap to present the Hours-Minutes time picker. Scroll the picker to adjust the remaining broadcast hours or minutes. Duration changes the original Stops At time.
4.1.4 includes additional optimizations and minor bug fixes.

4.1.3 also removes the max limit bitrate and frame rate values for Go Live Now - live broadcast events. The broadcast startup process will auto detect the optimal frame rate based on your device and network connection. Additionally, you can select Video Quality Auto (the default), to optimize that settings
4.1.3 includes additional program optimizations and minor fixes to ensure a fast broadcast startup and high quality broadcast.
4.1.2
2022-06-27
4.1.2 is a minor maintenance update that also includes a fix for Edit or Schedule Broadcast start and end date time. In some instances changing an existing broadcast information could reset the start and end date time and duration. This fix now retains the original time schedule until its values are modified by the broadcaster. Additionally, Facebook integration privacy scopes have been updated to Facebook's current API documentation. All broadcaster' should install this update.
