# TargetVideo Platform Release 8.1

   
Dear Publishers,

We’ve just pushed a new platform release live. See what is new below:

- Launched new features to boost your video content's discoverability and SEO, including the ability to display crawlable transcripts and automatic structured data injection into embeds. We also added a new label to indicate when automated transcriptions are complete.
- Enhanced Smart Playlists with new filtering options, allowing you to include or exclude videos based on their publication date. Additionally, Reels units will now automatically display your latest videos if a linked playlist is removed.
- Updated the label for the CMP trigger setting in the OTT Builder to 'Show CMP in footer' for better clarity.
- Addressed several issues in our mobile SDKs, improving the fullscreen experience on Android and resolving app crashes on iOS for certain video content.
- Fixed an issue where some videos might incorrectly appear in search results even if they are no longer available, preventing error messages when users try to access them.
- Several improvements to ad monetization and player behavior. This includes resolving an issue with ad source configuration, ensuring backfill ads and banner fallbacks are correctly served under various conditions, and fixing a bug where the player would not return to its standard position from sticky mode when 'autoplay when X% in view' was disabled.

 Thanks,  
The Target Video Team
