Content download progress
This version of Strivr Player includes a new feature that provides more visibility into the download status of content. The Course List screen (accessible via the Facilitator flow) now shows near real-time data around content download status. These statuses include whether a course is pending download, currently downloading, or has finished downloading. When a course is downloading, a progress bar shows how much of the course has been downloaded, the total size of the course, and the current download bitrate.

Unsupported Player Version Messaging (Deprecated)
Users will now be notified when their version of Strivr Player is unsupported—a message will appear on the Manage Headset screen, accessible via the Facilitator flow. If issues or bugs arise with an unsupported version of Strivr Player, updating to a newer version will be the recommendation. A Strivr Player version will be considered unsupported 180 days after that version’s release. An unsupported Strivr Player version will continue to function, but will not receive the same level of support as supported versions.

Improved content download speeds
Strivr’s content download functionality has been improved. Users will experience faster download speeds and concurrent content downloads.
Bug fix: Customer logo
In the case that a headset was updating from a version of Strivr Player that does not support addition of a customer logo to Strivr Home to a version that does support it, it was required that Strivr Player be updated before receiving a Player Settings file that enabled this feature. If a Player Settings file was pushed to the device before updating Strivr Player, the logo would not show up in Strivr Home until another new Player Settings file was pushed to the device. This issue has been fixed and now the Player Settings file can be pushed to the device prior to the Strivr Player version update.
Bug fix: Stitching issue
This version of Strivr Player includes a bug fix that addresses a stitching issue that was visible for 360 videos. This visual artifact was the result of the video rendering library we use and it would cause some 360 videos to display lines where the video was stitched together. This issue has been resolved and now video stitching should look smooth.
