Bug Fix

1. Video in & out point set as 1 at stop video.
   Reason: Default value of the outpoint variable used in Stop() not set to -1
   Resolution: Default value of the outpoint variable used in Stop() set to -1
   
   Impact Area:
   *) This bug
   *) Video basic testing
   *) Play/Pause/Stop action
   When "ShowBlankFrameAtEnd" is selected in Playcontrol and stop() action is executed blankframe is shown on viewport.
2. Video is playing/taking 1st frame as the current frame instead of 0th frame after saving the template(ABP)
   Reason: This is due to seekbuffer property value 2. Depending on this property value, the number of audio/video buffers are seeked/decoded and sent to videotexture
   Resolution : Set SeekBuffer = 1
   Issues found when Seekbuffer = 1, in Vset
3. When stop button is pressed multiple times blank video is displayed
   When Video is paused and Goto-inpoint button is pressed multiple times, blank video is shown
   
   Impact Area:
   *) Demo templates
   *) Basic video test cases in VSET
   *) Issues mentioned above
   
4. When WaspVideo restarts after crash and video is loaded, blank frame shows
   Reason: In this case firstframe texture is not updated due to which blankframe is visible
   Resolution : FirstFRame texture updated in this case.
   Impact Area : This issue
5. The video is not changing if the video path is wired to var/addin and seek is applied on the 0th frame and plays once on the 2nd frame
   Reason : When FFMPEG SDK is upgraded to 7.0, a code was removed while doing changes due to which a condition was failing in SeekAudioVideo() due to which video packet was not being decoded.
   Resolution : Condition corrected.
   
   Impact Area :
   *) This issue
   *) All types of video files like Audio only, video only, audiovideo
   *) seek-playonce, seek, playinfinte, play loop
   *) Demo templates with seek-playonce, seek, playinfinte, play loop
6. Video frames distorted when play action is executed multiple times
   Reason: Video queues are not cleared on subsequent Play call based on a flag
   Resolution: Flag set to clear Queues now
   
   Impact Area :
   *) Demo Templates
   *) Play/Stop functionality
   *) Executing Play action multiple times
   *) Basic video testing
   Note : Now Stop is not required before play.
7. Video get stuck on page change(ABP templates)
   Reason : when video end is signaled, a PTS check was failing as it was assumed that PTS is always incremental by 1. But it is not the case in every video and hence the check was failing, and loop is incremented and video end is signaled and on first frame only and hence video does not play due to wrong loop value
   Resolution : This issue is corrected by making the PTS incremental by 1 by using videostream timebase and framerate.
   
   Impact Area :
   *) Video stuck issue on scene load
   *) Demo templates
   *) testing1/bugtracker#1270 (closed)
   *) Basic video testing
   *) #2803 (closed)
   *) Basic video test cases in VSET

Rework

1. GetTexture conflict fix in Sprite
   Resolution: Applied Sanity check so that the conflicted code will be called only at the time of first-time creation
   Impact Area:
   Sprite object creation with every type of texture(image, video etc).
   Sprite scene save/reopen.
   Texture related testing in sprite like texture change etc.
   Same test areas for old sprite too, if applicable.
2. AudioMixer: Change in AudioMixing work Flow: Render thread will mix buffers if Mixing thread is not able to mix it till GetMixedBuffer is called from RenderThread.
   Reason: On ABP programs Dell(Xeon series CPU) machine we have below observation.
   1. Keep loading Sgs 20-22 on Server till Mis-set starts coming.
   2. TransferThread runs on FastTransfer mode because Output has no buffer.
   3. Our Engine starts running on FastRender mode like Engine renders and audio/video and call GetMixedBuffer(). There is lock contention for mixed sources between Render and Mixer thread. RenderThread takes ownership of lock keep waiting in while loop is mixing complete. It does not give Mixer thread fair chance to mix all sources. Some time RenderThread keep lock till 6-7ms which reflects in RT even if unload some Sgs. Solution: As discussed with @Ganesh sir. RenderThread will mix audio buffers in case Mixer thread is not completed Mixing for given ullCounter. So Mixing source kept in a function & Interlock Exchange used for thread safety.
   So Mixing is happening on both threads if needed.

Bug Fix

1. Guides visible behind the objects.
   Reason: Due to reverse Z buffer implementation work.
   Resolution: Z value set to max and Z test set to false.
   Impact Area: Guide line, triangle, info display box and info text of horizontal and vertical guides with intersecting other objects & shapes.
2. Mipmap is not working in the PH texture
   Reason: Texture's Width Height was not getting returned from PH and now Depth Based Mip calculation is according to the texture's width height
   Resolution: Texture's width height is now returned from PH according to the current PH Index
   Impact Area: Test on PH and Textures , Change the textures after applying and verify the Depth Based Mip functionality
3. LineGraph's Smoothing Value set to 0.01 by default to avoid Sharp Cut while doing Outline animation.
   Reason: There was sharp Cut on the Vertices while doing the outline animation
   Resolution: Smoothing is by default set to 0.01
   Impact Area: Old Line Graph Scenes

Optimization

1. Audio Mixer code optimization.
   (a) Thread’s priority set from OutputCard.xml
   (b) _mm_pause() used in GetMixedBuffer() and after mixing 3 consecutive audio source mix on same field.
   (c) Put Sleep(2) in AudioMixer thread which reduced Audio mixer residing CPU core’s uses from 100% to 2%-4% . It helped reducing RT so we could load more Sgs.
   Impact Area: ABP MCR PCR templates test cases for audio and Miss-set.

Bug Fix

1. By default GFX audio value is mute unless it is not un-muted in Mixer GUI.
   Reason: To prevent audio from pushing buffer to mixer if group is off we had put its default value off. So on first template load it was unmute.
   TestCases: Audio test with ABP scenes with MCR PCR scenarios
2. Object not getting visible in view port when we apply texture in Background Source Texture property
   Reason: the shader variables set for Half Pixel Shift (Width and Height) were somehow corrupting the other Vertex Shaders.
   Resolution: Width and Height are not set in the TextureCoordinate’s Z and W component
   Impact Area:
   Background , layout , layer
   with texture and without texture
   Material
   Half Pixel Shift Issue as well Products/WASP_PLAYOUT_4#4481 (closed)
3. Width and Height updated in Render so that the quality doesn't get effected even on resizing the viewport
   Reason : The width and Height were taken once from engine on Object Creation
   Resolution : Width and Height are taken in Render Now
4. Difference in Texture if applied on Background on turning MipMap ON/OFF
   Resolution : Mip Value set to 0 if Quad based rendering
   Impact Area : Test for Quality

Bug Fix

1. Audio crackles when L-Band or Ad-Band template is played.
   Reason: When this template is fired it throttles threads which causes two fields mixed together and out in a single field while second field of output gets zero memory.
   Resolution: Rendered ullCounter vs source vector kept at mixer end.
   TestCases:
   Audio issue check with multi-server scenario with L-Band and Ad-Band which causing this problem.
   Server setup is required with this setup because thread affinity added in OutputCard.xml. If Server setup is not being installed please add entry for mixer thread affinity attribute in OutputCard.xml where we define other threads affinity. Attribute name is like.. 8
   
2. Blurred Images Coming on Standard and Uniform Material
   Reason: The Images were getting Blurred due to the Auto Mip Generation done
   Resolution: “Mip Map “ property added in Texture Node so will available for all the textures if it is turned ON then only AutoMipGeneration will be called else Mip will not be calculated. By default it is turned ON
   Impact Area: Test for Standard , Uniform and Old Material with texture applied all texture stages
   Note: Designer setup is required for the property

Bug Fix

1. Outline of extrude does not change smoothly on Changing rectangle outline.
   Reason: Straight line segments with zero tangents at both ends were not handled correctly.
   Resolution: Add a condition to detect when both tangents are zero and perform linear interpolation between the start and end points for such segments.
   Impact Area: Outline of Extrude object
2. Texture alignment is getting wrong in Fill when we apply from source texture property in Layout and background.
   Reason: Incorrect calculation of modified texture coordinates in "Fill" option in "FitOptions" Property of Background/Layout/Layer Objects.
   Resolution: Matched the texture coordinate calculation to that being done in Sprite as it was working fine in Sprite.
   Impact Area: "FitOptions" Property in Background/Layout/Layer
   Test Cases:
   This issue and Working of "FitOptions" property in Background/Layout/Layer objects with:
   *). Texture with Width (<) Height
   *). Texture with Width (>) Height
   *). Texture with Width = Height (Same width, height). Note:- Please Add these test cases for fitoptions.
3. Half pixel offset coming with the texture chosen in source texture
   Reason : Half Pixel Shift not implemented in Texture Fit class used for rendering Source texture applied on Background , Layout and Layer
   Resolution : Half Pixel Shift Corrected in VShadeQuad and TextureFit Vertex Shader
   ImpactArea : Source Texture Property in Background , Layout and Layer and Texture on Material on Layer , background , layout

Code Optimization for audio issue

1. Audio source to be mixed will be pushed into a vector and Mixer thread will Render only those thread. i.e. Render will push source to be mixed instead of Mixer will iterate all source and from mixing thread.
2. Only those source even pushed for mixing for which Audio mixer is not mute or group is not mute. i.e Before mixing it will be ignored if Audio Out is off.
3. Mix sats written in render stats like Mix: srcCnt : Time . srcCnt = number of sources mixing at given field time & time taken in mixing for one given field.
4. Maximum volume level of group or Mixer will be 1 to avoid junk output.
5. A unused static lock was declared in Texture.dll in dllMain.h which is commented as it was taking CPU cycle as seen in ProcessExplorer
6. AJA capture thread had sleep(0) which made sleep(1) as it was eating CPU cycle & throttling residing core.
7. SetThreadExecutionState used to keep system awake if render/capture thread is running.
8. Log written for Render/Mixer/Input/Prepare thread core id, and if it is P-Core or E-Core.

Bug Fix

1. Outline translate from the Ai after changing outline angle in polygon mode.
   Reason: When the outline angle is changed, the outline is created without clearing the previous shape.
   Resolution: Set the geometry flag if the outline angle is changed to ensure the creation of the shape is done properly.
   Impact Area: Check AI with changing its properties
2. Video sprite object is taking time to load
   Reason: Blank Texture is returned by GetTexture for the first time because associative texture not being load while loading the scene.
   Resolution: Load associative texture while loading the scene like we do in case when texture is applied on material.
   Impact Area:
   *) Same issue with other texture types.
   *) Creation of Sprite object on different types of textures.
3. Video does not load on scene load
   Reason: In the template autoplay was off in video and video load issue was happening due to a bug in autoplay functionality of video. When autoplay is off we load video but does not play it. For this data was not going in a required variable due to which video was not loading.
   Resolution: Data set in the variable and now video is loading.
   Test cases:
   *) The templates reproducing this issue
   *) AutoPlay functionality of video
   *) Few demokit vide templates
   Issue : Bug : Video does not load on scene load (#4463) · Issues · Product / PLAYOUT · GitLab (beesys.com)
4. Text does not animate as per the applied Animation when scroll is used in Action on overflow.
   Reason: Clipping planes are set in case of Scroll Action on Overflow is selected.
   Resolution: Now clipping planes will be set only after Scroll Start action is received.
   Impact Area:
   *) Full Scroll functionality of 3DText (check with applying actions, element animation).
   *) Scroll templates of text.
5. Visibility of Child objects of force rendered object is not working from Hierarchy pool
   Reason: Render on/off and hide/unhide were not considered before rendering the force render objects
   Resolution: Render the object iff it is renderable
