Release 2.0 Now Available
Release 2.0 of the Avalon Media System is now available. One goal of this release is to enable successful pilot implementations at partner institutions.
The release includes the following features:
New hierarchical permissions model supports a flexible approach to collections-based content management. Collections can have default access controls.
Collections can more easily be shared with defined groups.
New media player is more usable and supports more platforms.
An about page shows the system health and supports automated system monitoring.
Staff can create custom thumbnails for video content by taking a "snapshot" during playback or by specifying a timepoint.
Tools are provided for migration of content and user groups from Avalon 1.0 to 2.0.
There are several options for exploring release 2.0. You can try it out on our public test server. You can also download and install a preconfigured Avalon virtual machine image, perform a step-by-step installation, or find out how to download our source code from Github.
