Introduction

Customers will now have the functionality to support improved downloading of enhanced media assets with greater control over their media downloads, including more reliable download verification. Along those lines, the player will clean up extra copies of downloaded media, saving additional disk space. The player will now display additional information around connect mode via distributed hinting. Additionally, the Spectrio player on iOS will now support playlist functionality as well as support for iOS 9.3 firmware.

What if I’m Using Guided Access Mode?

If you’re using Guided Access Mode to ensure users cannot access other apps while IWPlayer is running, ensure that you have changed the Auto-Lock setting in Display & Brightness to “Never.” This will prevent the iPad from locking out and ending playback unexpectedly.
