When enabled, if you have in the same folder a png image and a movie file that bear the same name, we will use the png image automatically for the logo of that movie.

What's new in OnTheAir Manager 3.0.1?

- Fixed an issue when deleting clips in the Media Browser.
- Fixed an issue with the new version notifications that would not work in 10.8.
OnTheAir Live goes from version 1.2.14 to version 3.0. The reason for that version jump is that OnTheAir Live 1.3.5 still used QuickTime to preview and trim the clip in the inspector. This could be confusing as OnTheAir Live was not able to read some files that OnTheAir Node could, or the other way around. With version 3.0 we now use the same engine for the OnTheAir Live preview as OnTheAir Node 3 uses to playout files. So the files that can be read by both applications are identical. This is a major change in itself which then diserved a major version number change. By using a version 3 we also bring it in pair with OnTheAir Node which is also in version 3.
So there were a lot of changes, but most are "under the hood". But here is what's new for version 3.0 :
- Added the ability to scrub in the timeline of the playlist (hold the cmd key down and click - requires OnTheAir Node 3.3 or later)
- Fixed an issue with Keychain

- Improved compatibility with El Capitan
- Fixed an issue with the status of the license when using dongles (would should up as DEMO)
- Fixed an issue of the Node remaining in the "Starting up..." status
