2022 - Mid April update

There have been many interesting developments recently for us here at Ziggeo.
We have added new things, improved the existing and fixed bugs along the way. What those are - read in the rest of the text.
Fixed
Snapshot Gallery
If you were using snapshot gallery (used by default) there is a small chance that you have noticed that in some specific cases the snapshots are not sized up properly. The images were there, however their aspect ratio could have been off.
This did not impact the end result, however it looked strange in the gallery preview. Well with r40 this has been fixed.
Dashboard > Videos page
Our dashboard makes it easy for you to start using Ziggeo, without the need to create your own administration screens for the same.
Recently we have made it easier for you to find a video and bookmark it - or copy and share link to it for your colleagues. This has however resulted in interesting bug that after certain changes you had to clear filter to be able to find what you were looking for.
We have released the fixes that are needed so that this no longer happens and you can enjoy going through your videos as intended.
Improved
Transcoding
Working with videos means working with a very diverse data streams that take space in different ways. They can be wide, very wide, or instead in super portrait mode. With that their size can also be large on disk (memory). Even then, when you think that you think you saw all variations, it happens and right there and then you find a new wrapping.
This is a very exciting thing about videos, as there are so many different things that happen within a simple video. These are things we need to think about when improving our service. We have worked on and further improved the way we are transcoding media. 
Uploading
Another thing that we have worked on is improving our uploading. It is now very simple to upload video of several terabytes. 5GB was not something many of you hit as your single file upload limit. Well now, you have much more space - up to 5TB of space for single file.
Lower RAM usage
You might think, that is it, there was a lot of things updated since our last update a bit over a month ago. Well, true, however there is more.
Our engineers have been busy working on the new process to help decrease the use of RAM while recording videos. This means that your trusty recorder will be able to record much longer videos.
With or without with, that is the question?
Sometimes there are things in a language that make things easier, and then they turn out to be not recommended and cause issues. One of such things is with
 within the JavaScript language.
It is one of the ways you can work with objects and makes some things easier. However, the use of it makes it impossible to use stricter standards. Since we needed it for IE, and e no longer support IE, it was finally time to address this.
From now on, with the release of r41, there is no more use of with
.
Server Side SDK demos
As you know we have quite a few server side SDKs that we support. We have made the changes to them to make them more familiar across the SDKs. We have also included a very simple shell script within the same to help you run various demos.
While we know, there are more demos to be added, this is one step that will make it easy to download and test out everything. It will also make it easier to switch between different languages with ease.
Editing forms
As you know we have support into various form builders. We have extended this support to allow re-recording to be easily achievable when you are editing your forms.
New
Custom controls
If you ever wanted to replace our controls for choosing camera and microphone, you will like this update. We have released an option which will help you do just that.
Depending how you want to do this, there are 2 different options available for you to achieve this.
HTML using outsource-selectors
 or
JavaScript using the following new methods:
recorder.select_microphone(id);
recorder.select_camera(id);
recorder.get('cameras');
recorder.get('microphones');
