What's new in Yucca 0.4.0

19.11.2020

Requiring FFmpeg​

The changes needed for the new stream-adding page require the FFmpeg package to be installed, so that we can get information about the source before adding it to the server.

For macOS users, the FFmpeg package can be installed with Homebrew:

brew install ffmpeg

For Linux distribution users, see the updated installation page for details.

New stream-adding page​

Instead of a simple address input field, we now fetch detailed information about the source and show a preview:

New stream add form

If the source is unavailable, you get an informative message:

Add form error

License management interface​

Adding and tracking license status is now easier:

License view

Global stream quota​

A new block was added to the server configuration — quota. It lets you limit the maximum number of users or streams on the server; once the limit is reached, the user gets an error.

The current number of users and streams, as well as the configured quota, can be seen on the statistics page:

Quota

Ukrainian language​

We couldn't skip this milestone either — the interface now supports Ukrainian:

UK

If you notice any inaccuracies in the translation, write to us by email or in the Telegram chat.
