Release notes
Our products are always getting better!
Read-only metadata keys
Dec 7th, 2021As a Christmas gift to all of our customers, we've made it possible to configure metadata keys to be read-only.
Read more →Set metadata when creating images
Jun 16th, 2021Speaking with our customers, we identified areas for improvement in the image upload process. We wanted to make it more efficient when managing images and associated metadata, so we decided to allow you to do both of those things when uploading images. Let's take a look!
Read more →The new rights page
Feb 15th, 2021We are aware that some of you might want to use your available rights to drive scheduling decisions; that is, you might want to search the library of your existing rights to find content for the services you manage
Read more →Improved costed runs and re-runs for catch-up
Feb 11th, 2021Linear contracts often stipulate how many runs for a title (we call them transmissions) are covered by cost of the contract (we call them costed runs) and how many additional free runs are also included (we call them reruns)
Read more →Towards the new Movida Catalogue (Part 2)
Aug 8th, 2020Last year we spent time speaking to a number of you in detail. From those conversations, we identified a set of visual and behavioural changes in the Movida Catalogue that will improve the speed and efficiency with which you manage your content
Read more →Job_updated events reflect changes to the end date
Jul 17th, 2020Good news! You can now rely on "job_updated" events to tell you when a job's ends-at has changed
Read more →API events for rights
Apr 13th, 2020We find that our clients gain tremendous value from our products when they're integrated with their existing systems so we're always trying to improve our product APIs. BeBanjo is a proponent of event-driven architectures for integrations and provides a rich event model in its product APIs
Read more →VOD rule templates
Feb 25th, 2020We love templates at BeBanjo. Anything that can reduce time spent with repetitive tasks is worth considering adding to our products! We've added the ability to create templates for VOD rules, to cut down the time it takes to create them
Read more →Revamped quick search
Feb 10th, 2020Have you ever wanted to quickly jump to a catalogue item from anywhere in Movida? Well, the new revamped quick search allows you to do that, and more!
Read more →Prevent linear channel deletion
Feb 4th, 2020A while back, we added support for deleting linear channels via Settings - a functionality that was available to admin users. However, because deleting a linear channel implies deleting all its programmes, this could cause quite a few problems if done without careful consideration!
Read more →Allow features to be members of a brand
Jan 15th, 2020Brands have no limits nowadays and that is why Bebanjo keeps including new features to match the trend!
Read more →Towards the new Movida Catalogue (Part 1)

We have added this new field everywhere to give you even greater flexibility, specially for those of you whose asset identifiers are provided by an external system

Jul 24th, 2019In a market that continues to grow, promotional content is becoming increasingly important to our clients, and their users. We have been watching as promotional content creeps up your list of priorities, listening to the various challenges that you face when managing this content and as a result, we are now ready to release some fantastic improvements to help you in this space
Read more →Support alphanumeric season and episode numbers
Jul 15th, 2019Here at BeBanjo, we love integers - they are the building blocks of code, after all! Sometimes, though, we encounter situations where integers alone just won't cut it, and we need to diversify with alphanumeric characters. That is where today's release really shines!
Read more →Support costed runs and reruns in VOD rules, catch-up rights, and catch-up deals
Jul 10th, 2019BeBanjo's clients often integrate Movida with a linear scheduling system and it's common for those systems to support the concepts of costed runs and reruns
Read more →Scheduling patterns with relative ending dates
Jul 1st, 2019We are adding the ability to create more complex patterns when scheduling, allowing the scheduling of the same content multiple times in a pattern with a single scheduling action, and allowing the use of relative ending dates for your schedule entry pattern

Read more →Add ability to target day parts in VOD rules
Feb 19th, 2019Our customers ❤️ their linear scheduling colleagues, but sometimes linear schedules can get fairly busy, and it is common for content to be repeated in slower parts of the day. Great for filling out a schedule, but not great for our automated schedule generation via VOD rules
Read more →Tag management
Jan 30th, 2019We know our customers love tagging things in Movida - features, series, episodes - you name it. Up until now, users couldn't easily manage their tags. Tragically, this resulted in BeBanjo support having to remove and rename tags for our customers. But now, your cries (and ours) have been heard and answered!
Read more →Add support for renditions/audio tracks/subtitles to the metadata filter on the schedule page
Jan 30th, 2019Do you use Movida to schedule content? Have you always wanted to filter by certain types of metadata on the schedule page, but couldn't? Guess what? Now you can!

Read more →Improved time zone support
Dec 14th, 2018For some reason, human beings are not very good at time zone math. We live in an interconnected world, and it's becoming frequent to have clients working across different time zones. And to make things harder, these distributed teams can each manage content in several time zones. That is time zone HELL!
Read more →Relative start/end dates in VOD rules with fixed times
Oct 11th, 2018As you know, VOD rules offer a lot of flexibility to automatically schedule catch-up content based on linear TXs. We thought they covered all the cases, but it turns out we were wrong! 🙈 Not anymore!

Aug 22nd, 2017Until now, you could link a VOD rule/right/deal to a specific linear transmission. E.g. you could create a VOD rule targeting the 3rd absolute TX in one channel. With this change, we're adding some more flexibility to this functionality, by allowing you to define a date/time range for the scope of the transmission

Aug 1st, 2017We have added a new filtering option to help you easily find your deals in Movida
Read more →Bulk asset selection by type
Jul 26th, 2017An asset in Movida represents an editorial version of a title.
