Loads of changes and improvements were implemented during the last 3 months, a list that culminated yesterday with the release in beta of the **1st HTML 5 & WebRTC based Pipe video recording client**.

We’ll have a different blog post for that, for now let us delve into the newest Pipe updates.

### Improvements

- Ability to select pre-recorded videos on Android devices
- New preview for Pipe on Android devices in Pipe account’s embed area (pictured above)
- Newly recorded videos are prioritized over the older ones that failed to convert and are currently in the `retry` queue. This way we ensure that there are as little wait times as possible between the recording process and finalization of the transcoding process.
- Optimisations to the cloud infrastructure for video processing
- The default dimension in the Pipe account area is now 400×300 (using the 300p video quality profile) to avoid Chrome’s pausing of the small 320×240 Pipe recorder
- (S)FTP port and protocol are now saved with the (S)FTP logs for better tracking of possible erros that might occur
- PPAPI Flash detection is now used by Pipe on Chrome on macOS to prevent Pipe from showing more than 1 audio source (there’s a *bug* between Flash Player in Chrome on macOS where the selection in OS’ settings is always used)
- Updates to Pipe’s account UI: - improved video list
- new loading animations for all sections
- better tabbed menu navigation
- Audio only vids and not stored vids are now properly represented with a different icon in the list of videos
- More detailed status info for recorded videos with 4 states: - queued for transcoding
- transcoding
- successfully transcoded
- failed to transcode
- Updated jQuery to latest 1.x version: 1.12.4
- Removed SWFObject from Pipe embeds in light of the changes regarding Flash content in [Safari 10](https://blog.addpipe.com/flash-on-safari-10-sierra/) and Chrome 56 (due at the end of January 2017)

### Documentation:

- [New documentation regarding all the possible (S)FTP upload statuses](https://addpipe.com/docs/storage/sftp/#pushing-the-recording-files-through-sftp)
- [Documented the correct way to send JSON payload data](https://addpipe.com/docs/custom-data/custom-data/#sending-a-json-object-as-custom-data)
- [Updated payload documentation](https://addpipe.com/docs/custom-data/custom-data/#sending-a-json-object-as-custom-data) with the correct use of the “property”, “object” and “name/value pair” terms

### Fixes

- Testing webhooks with querystrings and/or port numbers does not result in an error
- Webhook URLs can now have up to 200 characters instead of just 100
- Forward slashes in payload JSON data are not escaped with backslashes anymore
- Payload string sanitizing for mobile recordings
- Better language detection on Safari/Chrome on iOS and on Internet/Chrome on Android
- Correct link for updating your payment details on newer Pipe accounts
- Fixed issue with videos recorded from mobile not being assigned to the correct environment
