The Device Information page shows a player's details on the display
Press F8 on a player and the Device Information page lists its model, serial number, network addresses, and secure boot and disk encryption status, with a QR code beside them.
- Fix Apps
Apps on x86 players with a TPM always get their saved keys and passwords
On x86 players with a TPM, an app that played after a web page could lose the API keys and passwords saved in its settings and fail to load its data. Apps now get them every time.
- Fix Content management
A screen keeps showing its content while a single new item loads
Switching a screen to a single item that couldn't load yet turned the screen black; the screen now keeps showing what it had until the new item is ready.

ScreenlyOS 26.9.0 adds a screenshot command, so a player takes a screenshot the moment the dashboard asks for one, alongside commands like reboot and power off.

An Edge App can now tell the player it has nothing to show, and the screen moves on to the next item in the playlist instead of showing an empty app.

26.8.0
- Fix Device management
Each display runs at its own resolution, whenever it was connected
A display could run at the resolution of one connected months earlier, and a display added later wasn't set up to mirror the first.
- New Device management
ScreenlyOS runs on Scala players
A ScreenlyOS disk image for Scala player hardware is available from support or sales, so a Scala player you already have can be reimaged to run Screenly.

Changing a screen's timezone applies to scheduled content right away
A player kept scheduling against its old timezone after the timezone was changed, until the player restarted.

Content changes reach screens sooner
Players now download a content update in a smarter order, so a change shows up on the screen sooner and 1 large video no longer holds everything else back.

Proof of play comes to ScreenlyOS
A player can keep a record of what actually played and for how long: proof for advertisers, a record for regulated environments, and a way to confirm content and schedules work as intended.
- Fixes and improvements
Videos keep playing after one fails to load, and other fixes
Playback and stability fixes, from USB capture devices that now play to players that no longer restart in a loop or build up memory.

Players report SD card errors and power and heat throttling, and connect to Screenly better when the service is busy.
