Pipe 0.20 Brings Some Early Christmas Goodies

With a final push before the holidays, we managed to improve Pipe even further.

New Amazon S3 folder options and regions

We’ve added the option to specify a folder name when configuring your Amazon S3 storage in your Pipe Account

The default value of the option is “/”. This means the files will be stored on the root of your S3 storage.

If you specify a folder name and it is not already created on your S3 storage, Pipe will automatically create it for you.

We’ve also added 3 new bucket regions options: London, Seoul and Mumbai.

Improvements

• Consistent init screen -> privacy screen -> device selection screen -> record screen flow in the Flash client
• Video playback in the Flash video recording client is no longer flipped which makes recorded text readable during playback
• Better handling of used devices on computers with multiple recording devices when local shared objects (cookies) are not allowed (Flash client)
• Updates to the JavaScript Mobile Events API: added videoId parameter to onVideoUploadSuccess() event function. See documentation.
• Language detection for both desktop and mobile version now consistently relies on the browser’s preferred language, instead of the OS or browser language
• onRecorderReady()is now the preferred JS Events API function to detect when Pipe is ready to record as onFlashReady() is being deprecated (still works)
• onRecorderInit() is a new JS Events API function that lets you know the initial [Record Video] screen is ready to be clicked

Fixes

• Fixed issue in Pipe’s account settings with [Cancel subscription] button still showing in the account settings after the subscription was cancelled
• Fixed issue with fast clicking on [Save] button skipping the thumbnail creation (Flash client)

Documentation

• New documentation for the do not store option
• Updates to the documentation regarding JavaScript events
• Language detection documentation has been updated in light of changes to the language detection mechanism
• Clearer documentation regarding SFTP and FTP statuses
