July 27, 2020: Spotterfish Major Update v.1.0

This update focuses on improving the user experience in large screening rooms.

Improvements

​

• Feature: Light switch: focus on watching the movie together or focus on talking. The new light switch lets you flip between two modes. Don't worry, you can still talk while watching the movie.

​

• Feature: Help people with slower internet connections join. Spotterfish uses much less bandwidth for sessions with many people and gently downgrades video chat quality if needed.

​

• Feature: Snappier and more satisfying user experience. Browser code has been optimized to use significantly less CPU and GPU.
   

• Feature: Easier to understand what's going on when movie playback is buffering. Better messages on buffering and when skipping to another position in the movie.
   

• Feature: improved layouts of screening room sessions so you can see the movie properly, even with many people in the session.
   

Bug fixes

​

• More reliable upload of many files to a project.
   

• Fixed problem where markers were drawn incorrectly when first entering screening room.
   

• Fixed problem when time code stopped updating.
