A redesigned web interface

The Anthias web interface has a new design in Anthias 2026.05.0, and it works on a phone: every page fits a small screen, and the menu folds into a button. The Schedule, Integrations, Settings and System info pages, the sign-in and error pages, and the splash screen on the player's display all look different. The web interface also no longer loads a font from Google Fonts, so it looks the same on a network with no internet access.

The Schedule page

The two lists are now called "Enabled" and "Inactive". The separate Start and End columns become one "Schedule window" column that says where each item stands: "Live · ends in 3 days", "Starts in 2 days", "Ended 4 days ago", or "Scheduled · off-window now" when a day or time limit keeps it off the screen at the moment.

You can preview any item from the Schedule page. Images and videos play right there, and web pages and streams load inside the preview. Some sites won't load inside another page; for those, use "Open in new tab".

When you edit an item, its start, end and duration are under "Availability". Days and times, "No cache", "Skip asset check" and, for web pages, the auto-refresh interval are under "Advanced".

The splash screen

The splash screen says "Detecting network…" until the player has an address. Then it switches to "Ready to manage", lists the addresses to open in a browser, and shows a QR code for the first one, so you can open the web interface by scanning it with a phone. The old splash screen looked up the addresses once and showed "Unable to retrieve IP." if none had come up yet. This one keeps checking for up to 2 minutes, so a player that's slow to get an address shows it as soon as it has one. In this release it could still show the address saved at install time after the network changed; Anthias 2026.05.1 fixes that.

Settings and System info

Settings is split into "Player identity", "Display & playback", "Authentication", "Backup & restore" and "System controls". System info is grouped into "Live diagnostics", "Display & hardware" and "Identity".
