Note that most modern browsers limit the maximum number of simultaneous HTTP connections. Thus, if you show a lot of qualities simultaneously (e.g., thumbnails in an asset list), strongly consider using the mode argument to limit the number of simultaneous HTTP connections. Please be careful that you do not cache the fallback image as the requested image.

...

Note that this removes the default timeout of 100 seconds from all HTTP request requests performed with the SDK. However, it is still possible to control the timeout per-request by passing a cancellation token to the used SDK method used. The effective timeout is always the smallest of the passed cancellation token tokens and the timeout configured for the HTTP client used by the SDK.

  • Search2 allows the tables media_transcode_proxy_destination and media_transcode_proxy to be referenced in both input and output, providing access to information about qualities. Information about qualities generated with the new transcode system can not be accessed through these tables.

  • Search2 allows URLs for qualities of old media formats to be retrieved with the functions urlAbsolut, urlRelative, downloadUrlAbsolut, and downloadUrlRelative. It has been ensured that this still works, even if the targeted old media format has been mapped to a new format. If an old media format has not been mapped to a new format, these functions work in exactly the same way as previously. However, a few caveats should be mentioned in the case where an old media format is mapped to a new format:

    • A URL is always returned, even though a quality of the asset in the old media format can not be generated. As an example, this means that a thumb URL is included for an asset in the default GetAssets search, even if it can not be generated. Previously, the thumb URL would be null in this case. Thus, it must be ensured that clients do no not rely on the URL in a search to be null when it can't be generated.

    • If the urlRelative or downloadUrlRelative function is used, the returned relative URL will be relative to <api-url> instead of <api-url>/dmm3bwsv3 as it was before.

With the 5.10 release, the thumbnail and preview formats that are defined out of the box have been reworked. By default, this is handled automatically, and no manual actions should be required.
