Scene7 Viewers 5.2.3 Release Notes scene-viewers-release-notes

Adobe Scene7 Viewers section-0b0363fae0274737bace119f281e740f

Viewer upgrades are backwards compatible and therefore, no changes are necessary to your existing web code. However, it is recommended that you test the new viewers on Adobe’s staging environment. The following website gives instructions on how you can set up your system to access Adobe’s staging server:

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/scene7/kb/base/upgrade-management/testing-scene7-viewers-upgrade.html

After you have set up your computer to access the staging server, you can check your website to test the upgrade. For customers using out-of-the-box viewers, best practice is for you to test against Adobe’s standard staging server and s7is1-preview-staging.scene7.com.

IMPORTANT: The latest version of Firefox now prevents the Adobe Flash plug-in from running on websites by default. If you have deployed the Scene7 video player that uses the Adobe Flash plug-in on desktop systems, you have the following three options:

  • Users see a prompt at the top of the web page they are viewing in Firefox. In the prompt, they can either choose to continue blocking the plug-in or allow the plug-in to run, in which case the video plays as usual.

  • Set the video player to playback=native mode. Doing so plays the MP4 video progressively.

    See VideoPlayer.playback.

  • Create an OGG version of the video which can be used as a fallback.

Adobe is investigating options to address this issue in Firefox in a future release.

Known issues and restrictions for 5.2.2 section-368dd0dc138b44e28b49314e4ad0fa1a

  • The Image Serving modifiers from iscommands are not added to the req=set request by design. Modifiers that only affect image display work fine. Modifiers affecting size must be used in a complex asset. For example:

    code language-none
    https://s7d9.scene7.com/s7viewers/html5/BasicZoomViewer.html?asset= {Scene7SharedAssets/Backpack_B?extendn=0.5%252C0.5%252C0.5%252C0.5}
    
  • iPad - Manual sets fail to display on Chrome browser.

  • Flyout - Internet Explorer 9 sometimes remains on-screen after mouse off.

  • ZoomViewer - Unable to zoom an image by mouse click (Windows 8, touch screen, Chrome).

  • Browser scaling leads to wrong resizing.

  • iPad 2 - Large eCatalog asset crashes Safari on IOS.

All Scene7 viewers

  • Watermarks, obfuscation, and locking are not supported.
  • Image presets are not supported.
  • Adding or removing viewer from the DOM using display:none CSS or by dynamically detaching it from the parent node is not supported.

All viewers

  • Embedding the viewer in a table may result in incorrect sizing or placement of the viewer in non-native full-screen mode. Use DIVs instead.
  • Parameters with explicit instance names in the code require instance names in the URL to be overwritten as well. For example, zoomView.iconeffect=0.
  • Image Serving command crop is not supported.
  • Close button only works if the viewer is open in a child window.
  • Iscommands modifier does not support Image Serving modifiers that affect image size.

eCatalog viewer

  • Navigating to other HTML pages and then returning occasionally causes the viewer to reset back to the first page.
  • The page layout occasionally displays incorrectly after rotating the iOS device. Zooming into the page corrects the layout.
  • Internal links only to the left-most page in multi-page spreads. This issue affects mobile devices in portrait mode.

  • Video captions require a company ruleset if they are hosting an HTML page that is served from an external server that is not a Dynamic Media server. Contact Adobe technical support for assistance.
  • Analytics tracking may report incorrect play percentage due to buffering.
