Pex SDK - Release Notes

Version 4.7.0

Search by ISRC

In addition to performing a search with a fingerprint generated from a media file, you can now also initiate a search using an ISRC. If a corresponding asset can be located for the ISRC, the search will initiate and you will receive the same standard search response you would get from a fingerprint-based search

This allows you to search the Pex Registry when you don’t have a source media file but do have a known identifier.

Retrieve status of a particular custom database asset

This provides better visibility into ingestion progress and fingerprint availability for a specific asset.

List Entries enhancement

The existing "List Entries" functionality has been updated so that in addition to a list of assets that are currently ingested in your custom database, it will return each asset's corresponding status (active, pending)

This provides better visibility into the status of your custom database as a whole.

CLI Helper Tool

A lightweight CLI tool is now provided for basic one-off searches against the Pex Registry and your Custom Database. It can also handle basic catalog management functions for Custom Database clients. It can be run via the pexsearch command

In order to access these new features, you will need to:

Update your language bindings to the 4.7.0 release. Please see Language Bindings for more details.
Install the latest version of the SDK core library to ensure compatibility. Please see Core Library (SDK) for more details.

Version 4.1.2

When performing an audio or melody search against the Pex Registry, you can now also designate a specific search type to perform: an "identify music" search or a "find matches" search. A identify music search allows you to check any media file for copyrighted music. A find matches search allows you to find commercially distributed versions of your own copyrighted asset. To designate a search type, you will pass an additional parameter when creating the search request. Note: if no search type is designated, the search will default to the "identify music" search type.
