- New
A new display schedule blanks the screen outside opening hours
A screen in an office or shop no longer has to stay lit all night and all weekend for nobody. Set the hours and days under Settings > Display schedule, and Anthias switches the screen off at closing time and back on in the morning, on a plain monitor or a TV.
- Fix
HDMI-CEC display controls no longer fail on a Raspberry Pi 2, 3 or 4
On a Raspberry Pi 2, 3 or 4, the display power buttons failed and the System Info card read "CEC error", even with a CEC TV attached. Anthias 2026.08.1 sends HDMI-CEC commands on those boards, to every HDMI port with a CEC display, and stops calling a plain monitor an error.
- Improvement
Large JPEG and PNG uploads are resized on boards with little RAM
On a board with less than 1.5 GB of RAM, such as a Raspberry Pi 3, a JPEG or PNG bigger than 1920x1080 is shrunk when you upload it, so the viewer needs much less memory to show a phone photo.
- Fix
Menu Board's items and World Clock's cities can be set from the Apps tab
App settings that take a list, like the items on a Menu Board or the cities on a World Clock, can be filled in from the Apps tab. Before, Menu Board came up with a title and no menu.
- Fixes and improvements
A player with nothing to show stops filling its log, and other fixes
A Raspberry Pi 2 or 32-bit Pi 3 that loses its display restarts the viewer straight away, usage statistics include the Anthias version, and the website's API reference covers the whole API.
