The most important changes in VIMP 4.3

29. October 2020
Die wichtigsten Neuerungen in VIMP 4.3

VIMP 4.3 contains useful new features, which make the video experience even better for your users. Please read below what has changed.

New Player

By integrating the popular Video.js player, your videos will load even faster. It is characterized by high stability and good expansion possibilities.

The previous VIMP Player is of course still available for you to choose from and currently still forms the basis for the E-Learning extension, WebTV and the Video Editor.

Password protection for media

Media can now optionally be published password-protected. They are then hidden in the portal and can only be accessed via a direct link with password entry.

QR Code for media

Media can now also be shared using a QR Code, which can be retrieved in the share overlay.

The most important changes in VIMP 4.3

Creating Channels in the Frontend

Until now, channels could only be created administratively in the backend. This changes with the new version – authorized users can now create channels directly in the frontend.

Multi-client capability of important areas

With an appropriate license, you can make important areas of your video portal (e.g. media and user affiliation) multi-client capable. Depending on the client affiliation, the logged-in user will only see contents that are assigned to his client.

SAML/Shibboleth authentication

Besides LDAP, it is now also possible to authenticate your users via SAML. Thus VIMP is automatically extended by a Single Sign On (SSO) and supports the Shibboleth-Authentication at the same time.

Rewind Livestreams

With the new nDVR support your users can now “move” freely in the already broadcasted areas of a live stream.

Further technical innovations and important notes

VIMP 4.3 also contains technical innovations “under the hood”, which we describe in detail in this article.

PHP

MySQL/MariaDB

Transcoding
Please install the transcoding tools exactly as described in the documentation. Installing the standard packages is not sufficient due to patent regulations.

We recommend using a RAID controller for additional data security.

VIMP Installationsservice

Ãœberlassen Sie den kompletten Installationsprozess Ihrer VIMP-Plattform uns.

 

Der VIMP Installationsservice beinhaltet:

  • Vorbereitung Ihres Servers
  • Installation der erworbenen VIMP Software
  • Installation der Transcoding Tools

Um von außen auf Ihren Server zugreifen zu können, benötigen wir folgendes:

  • SSH-Zugriff auf Ihren Server (idealerweise als root)
  • Vorinstalliertes Hosting (Apache + MySQL/MariaDB)

Wir empfehlen Linux als Betriebssystem. Eine Installation unter UNIX, BSD oder Windows ist ebenfalls möglich, wird von uns aber nicht offiziell unterstützt.

Minimale Servervoraussetzungen für die Installation von VIMP:

Webserver

  • Apache2
    • Version 2.4 empfohlen
  • oder NGINX

PHP

  • Version 7.1 – 8.0
  • GD-Bibliothek, openssl, cURL, MySQL, mbstring, PDO, pdo_mysql und XSL-Erweiterungen müssen installiert sein
  • PHP CLI (Command Line Interface) muss installiert sein
  • SourceGuardian Extension (außer für ViMP Ultimate Extended)

MySQL/MariaDB

  • MySQL: Version 5.7 – 8.0
  • MariaDB: Mindestens Version 10.2
  • InnoDB muss installiert sein

Um modifizierte CSS-Dateien zu verketten, muss npm installiert sein.

Hardware

Als Mindestanforderung empfehlen wir:

  • Quad-Core-Prozessor
  • 8 GB RAM
  • 500 GB Festplattenspeicher (die benötigte Größe hängt im Wesentlichen von der Medienzahl ab)

Für den produktiven Einsatz empfehlen wir:

  • Hexa-Core-Prozessor oder besser (mehr Kerne ermöglichen insbesondere eine schnellere Transcodierung der Medien)
  • 32 GB RAM oder mehr
  • 2000 GB Festplattenspeicher oder mehr (die benötigte Größe hängt im Wesentlichen von der Medienzahl ab)

Wir empfehlen die Verwendung eines RAID-Controllers für zusätzliche Datensicherheit.
