| Rialto Hardening |
Q4 | Comcast | Deepthi/Vaisakh | In Progress |
|
No additional playback issue seen. Comcast PR fix exists but has not yet been merged Vaisakh to investigate pending Comcast PR merge Netflix requires ER Manager. Enabling ER Manager causes a Rialto crash.
Analysis of App playback failures in progress. 3 tickets are suspected to be of Rialto. As Comcast AVPK test passes on BCM(they have a different branch), need investigation (feature is in MW but Apps will be consuming so keeping both teams in ownership ) Need to add platform tickets for integration in other platforms Team planning a trial run of certification on M7 to know rialto readiness AAMP+Clear playback works. Working on encrypted playback | |
| NRDP25 DPI9 | Q4 | Comcast | Vaisakh | In Progress |
|
Feature-by-feature testing ongoing.Full certification dry run not yet executed
Dual video playback testing is underway through Rialto, Intermittent failures remain under investigation *: in DPI9, Multi-video alone is not sufficient; multi-audio support also needs validation. Such capability gaps should result in formal tickets. Dependencies on resource-management infrastructure( like Dual-video capability ) also must be clearly tracked. Netflix validation started. No blockers. Depends on Rialto, DIAL support etc.
Verified clear and encrypted playback. Planning M7 release for basic verification Some bugs exist but is identified as BCM issue | |
