Anthias 2026.09.0
Large uploads work behind proxies such as Cloudflare, files dropped anywhere on Schedule Overview upload, upgrades clear out old versions to free space, and players recover on their own when memory runs out. With sign-in turned on, scripts that listen for live updates have to sign in.
Released September 22, 2026
- Improvement
Large uploads work behind a proxy, and a failed upload says why
A video bigger than your reverse proxy's request limit, such as Cloudflare's 100 MB cap on its Free and Pro plans, now uploads instead of failing. When an upload does fail, the message names the cause.
- Improvement
Files dropped anywhere on Schedule Overview upload
Images and videos dragged from your desktop upload wherever you let go on Schedule Overview. Before, only the upload area inside Add asset took a drop, and a file dropped anywhere else opened in the browser and took you off the page.
- Security Breaking change
Live updates in the web interface need a signed-in session
With authentication on, Anthias 2026.09.0 sends the web interface's live updates only to signed-in browsers. Your browser keeps working as before, but a script or other client that listens on /ws without signing in is refused.
- Improvement
Backups carry only what Anthias needs, and restores check the version
A backup from Anthias 2026.09.0 holds your settings, database and content, and leaves out half-finished uploads that only made it bigger. A restore turns down a backup whose database is newer than it understands, before writing anything, and tells you which release to upgrade to.
- Improvement
Upgrades remove the old Anthias images they replace
Each upgrade now deletes the Anthias images of the release it replaced once the new one is running, so old releases stop piling up on the card. One person found 6 old releases taking about 16 GB, and a script clears the ones already there.
- Improvement
Boards recover on their own when memory runs out or the system hangs
When memory runs out, Anthias 2026.09.0 makes sure the viewer is what gets stopped and restarted, and the installer sets up a watchdog that reboots a board whose system hangs, instead of leaving it dark until someone power cycles it.
- Fixes and improvements
Less black screen when a video gives way to an image, and other fixes
Add asset opens with an empty form every time, boards other than the Raspberry Pi show their own name on System info, and the installer no longer floods its output with Ansible warnings on Raspberry Pi OS Trixie.
