Anthias 2026.06.3
A 64-bit image for the Raspberry Pi 3, a balena fleet for the Rock Pi 4, sound for video on the Pi 4, Pi 5 and PCs, and players that recover from crashes and stalled pages. Anthias now sends error reports to its maintainers by default, and you can turn that off.

A 64-bit image for the Raspberry Pi 3, and a balena fleet for the Rock Pi 4
A Raspberry Pi 3 on a 64-bit OS has its own image on balena and as a disk image, with the same viewer as the Pi 4. The Radxa Rock Pi 4 gets its own balena fleet and disk image.

Anthias sends error reports to Sentry, and you can turn them off
The web interface, background worker and viewer now report errors to the Anthias maintainers by default, which is how several fixes in this release were found. You can turn the reports off or send them to your own Sentry project instead.
- Fix
The web interface and background worker keep running, and tasks no longer fail after upgrades
A device with an older time zone name or damaged files on its SD card no longer crash-loops at startup, and the web interface, worker and viewer wait for each other instead of failing with database locked errors. Tasks that run in the first minutes after an upgrade no longer fail.
- Fix
The screen recovers when a web page stalls or the webview crashes
A web page that stops loading is requested again instead of freezing the screen, the viewer restarts a crashed webview and carries on, and on Raspberry Pi 5 and x86 the webview no longer fails to start after a restart.
- Fix
Fixes to video playback on Raspberry Pi 2 and Pi 3
On the 32-bit Pi 2 and Pi 3 image, portrait and 4:3 clips keep their shape, short clips loop without freezing, 50 and 60 fps video plays at an even 30 fps, and a clip whose sound can't play still shows.
- Fix
Video plays with sound on Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, x86 and arm64
Videos on the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, x86 PCs and generic arm64 boards played with no sound. They have sound now, including over HDMI on x86 PCs with common Intel, AMD and Nvidia audio hardware.
- Fixes and improvements
Play from and Play until accept 12-hour times, and other fixes
HEIC and TIFF uploads convert on the 32-bit Raspberry Pi 2 and Pi 3 image, 60 fps video on a Raspberry Pi 4 plays at its real speed, and a rejected video comes with HandBrake steps for converting it.
