Here is a break down of what version 0.5.2 includes:
FIXES
Viewer:
TVStation Viewer
Display: The display would break when collapsing the bottom panel if player, schedule, and media information were all showing simultaneously.
Start Up: Black background would stick or experience very clunky start on the viewer.
Volume Scrubber: If you roll out of volume button slowly it does not make scrubber disappear.
Mute: Setting mute when an item was playing was overwritten when the next item played.
Source Files: Fixed the error messages of missing classes when working with the viewer source files.
Video Clearing: Fixed an issue where stream videos were not clearing out and kept playing even though another video was selected.
Admin:
TVStation Admin
Speex Codec: Fixed the speex codec bug.
Live ‘Casters List: When broadcasting live and creating a channel or switching channels, the live casters list would break.
Resizing Playlist: When making the admin interface very small the playlist was not accessible in the media interface.
Block Scheduling: Schedule would break when scheduling daily blocks
Both Admin and Viewer:
Chat History: Chat history was buggy and it would not scroll to the bottom when it started.
Embed Tags: Issues using embed tags have been resolved.
Launch Viewer Button: Using the “Launch Viewer” button on the admin was not working.
Loading Local Assets: When loading local assets it would break the app on the admin and viewer.
Help Files: Help files on admin would not load at all.
Chat Gap: Fixed the big gap at the bottom in the chat history when it gets too long.
Nothing Playing Image: ‘Nothing playing’ image was not loading when nothing was playing.
Chat URLs: URLs in chat were not working properly.
UPDATES
Viewer:
Performance: Performance has been improved on the viewer.
Advertising: The banner functionality was moved into the player instead of it being at top of video and you can now set a URL to make the banner clickable.
Admin:
TVStation Admin Chat
Re-label: Start broadcast button was relabeled to Start TVstation (too confusing when in live tab admin).
Start Broadcast: When an admin presses the start broadcast button in the Live tab, if there are no active broadcasters the stream will automatically go live.
New Field: The source path field has been added in the media edit field in the media list.
Save Icon: A clock icon has been added to notify admin users when settings are saving.
Optional Channel Login: When creating a new channel the login for that channel is now optional. If you wish not to have a login active for that channel simply clear out the email and password fields. However please note that a login is still required for the default channel0 channel.
Log Out: A logout button was added to the admin.
Both Admin and Viewer:
Word Filter: The word filter functionality was extended. For example if a word is set such as banana the system would catch it if a user was trying to input b.a.n.a.n.a or ba na na.
Emoticons: Added Smileys to chat.
New Chat Menu: Chat now has a new menu system to load or clear chat contents.
User Profiles: Expanded the user list features to include new profile mini system which can be changed when double clicking your name on the list.
Time Stamps: Chat now has user icon and time stamps.
Changing Labels: You can now change the labels without having to recompile via a provided XML file for both the admin and viewer.
API Compatibility: You can now set up API to connect to TVStation without having to authenticate via a new method in the main.asc file.
Search: A new search bar has been added to lists in the viewer and the main media list on the admin. Search videos by title or written content.
If you are on any of the old versions of TVStation2 beta then this update is strongly recommended. It is available for download now through the Influxis Wizard.

TVStation2 beta is Finally Here!
Thursday, June 25th, 2009
TVStation2 beta is now available for immediate download for all Influxis customers.
For all those unfamiliar with TVStation, TVStation is an online web application that allows any user to setup and run their own instant television or radio station. Through TVStation users can setup a self made list of pre-recorded content or images and broadcast it to viewers live 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Users can also broadcast live high definition video (through Flash Media Live Encoder) or broadcast live video directly from TVStation itself. Viewers can also text chat among each other while watching their favorite show or listening to their favorite song for a complete interactive experience.
New to this release:
1. Administrator
The first major difference of course is the completely new administrator interface built entirely in Flex. The new interface is a more powerful, efficient, and user friendly then the last version. This makes it setting up a schedule, broadcasting live, or managing settings a snap.
2. Broadcast Engine
This version features a completely new broadcast engine built from ground up and was made to be more efficient and faster than ever before. Included with the new engine is a new scheduling and playlist system which allows you to setup and manage schedules on the fly.
3. Live Engine
The live broadcasting engine has also gone through a big change. Through the new “Live” interface, users can now broadcast high definition video directly from Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder without use of any plug-in API. The new live engine also enables multiple users to broadcast to TVStation. A new casters list is available to switch between all users broadcasting live to TVStation allowing for instant cam switching.
4. Chat
A new chat engine is now also available. The new chat offers a new chat administrator for quick and efficient moderation of the TVStation.
5. Channels
This feature is the biggest addition to this version. Administrators can now setup and manage multiple channels directly from one TVStation instance. No more having to setup painful and confusing FMIS instances. A new login system has been created to separate and protect each channel. Master administrators can setup permissions for each channel for total and complete control of their network.
6. Uploader/Encoding
This version of TVStation also includes a new uploading system (available only with some servers). The new system allows users to upload and encode content directly from within TVStation. The new system encodes files at different rates (selected by the user) to make sure every user gets a smooth experience when watching video. With dynamic streaming built into our new player, the player will automatically switch streams when a user’s bandwidth speed changes. Dynamic streaming makes sure the transition is smooth so the viewer does not notice that a switch has occurred.
7. New Viewer
The old viewer has been rebuilt to provide a faster and a more viewer friendly interface. The new version is also compact to allow customers to embed in smaller areas.
There is much more to come in future releases so keep checking back for new TVStation2 updates. Also, you can find the application home page here and the live demo page here.
