Scene7 Viewers 5.5.2 Release Notes

Adobe Scene7 Viewers

Added Adobe Marketing Cloud Org ID support to the Adobe Analytics integration.
Updated AppMeasurement JavaScript library to version 1.6.1.
Search capability now added to the eCatalog viewer.
Added HLS streaming video playback as a default video delivery method for the majority of desktop systems. Flash-based HDS video streaming is still available as an alternative playback option.
Added support for both mouse and touch input running under Chrome browser. Microsoft Surface devices fall under this category however, Microsoft Edge does not work with touch input with 5.5 viewers.

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

https://s7d9.scene7.com/s7viewers/html5/BasicZoomViewer.html?asset= {Scene7SharedAssets/Backpack_B?extendn=0.5%252C0.5%252C0.5%252C0.5}
Flyout viewer - Internet Explorer 9 sometimes remains onscreen after mouse off.
Scaling the browser window leads to incorrect resizing.
iPad 2 - A large eCatalog asset crashes Safari on iOS.
