2.4.4

🚀 MediaFlow 2.4.4 Released

This update focuses on significant performance optimizations, streaming stability for DASH protocols, and critical fixes for HLS authentication.

🚀 New Features & Enhancements

• ⚡ DASH Prebuffering & Live Stability: Major enhancements to DASH streaming, including new configuration options for player lock timeouts and concurrent prefetch downloads. Improved MPD live playlist logic to ensure stable media sequences and better performance during live streams (#87).
