July 2026
Screenly release notes from July 2026.
Screens show connectivity and content status separately
The Screens list replaces the last heartbeat column with a plain-language status, and adds a Content status column saying whether a screen has what it should be playing.
Screen statuses gain is_online, and screens with nothing scheduled no longer report Inactive
API v4.1 exposes an is_online field with a matching filter, and a reachable, in-sync screen with nothing scheduled now reports Online instead of Inactive on v4 and v4.1.
Typing a status into the Screens search no longer filters by it
The Screens search box no longer matches status words. The status cards above the list filter by status instead.
Failed requests explain themselves in plain language
When something fails in the dashboard, the message you see is a plain sentence about what went wrong, including a clear one for uploads that are too large.
Fixes and improvements
Smaller fixes and improvements that shipped on July 27, 2026.
Playlist schedules are now built from rules you can read
The playlist Schedule tab was rebuilt around plain-language rules, with warnings for schedules that can never play, and support for excluding individual dates.
Installed app settings open instantly
Opening an installed app's settings, or adding a new app, now happens right where you are, with no page reload.
Subscription changes now say which seats or screens were disabled
Reducing a subscription's member or screen count disables the excess automatically, and the dashboard notification naming what was disabled now appears.
