Anthias release notes
Anthias, the open-source digital signage player. What has shipped, newest first.
- Audience
- customers
- Anthias 2026.10.0 Fixes for players short of memory, for backups that left the database unreadable after a restore, and for a viewer that got stuck while starting. Screens showing the same playlist also stay in step longer.
- 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.
- Anthias 2026.08.2 The web interface warns you when a Raspberry Pi isn't getting enough power, and when the storage it runs from is failing or full.
- Anthias 2026.08.1 A display schedule switches the screen off outside opening hours and back on in the morning, and the TV power controls work on the Raspberry Pi 2, 3 and 4.
- Anthias 2026.08.0 Anthias installs and runs behind an HTTP proxy, a TV switched on after the player starts gets a picture, and portrait photos show upright. On some Debian 13 PCs the install can lose DNS, so read the known problem before upgrading one.
- Anthias 2026.07.4 The Audio output setting decides where sound plays on PCs and boards like the Rock Pi 4, and upside-down landscape video plays smoothly on the Raspberry Pi 2 and Pi 3.
- Anthias 2026.07.3 Screen rotation now turns the same way on every board. A portrait screen on a Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 5, PC or other 64-bit board shows upside down after the upgrade until you swap its setting between 90° and 270°.
- Anthias 2026.07.2 Anthias imports content from Yodeck, ScreenCloud, piSignage and Xibo, gets a Timezone setting, and plays intranet pages with self-signed certificates. Raspberry Pi 2 and 32-bit Pi 3 players stop crashing to a blank screen. This release shows its version as 2026.07.1.
- Anthias 2026.07.1 A new Apps tab adds ready-made signage apps such as clocks and news feeds, and a very long asset duration no longer crashes the viewer. If you create assets through the API, check the stricter rules for file paths and YouTube links.
- Anthias 2026.07.0 You can select several assets and change them in one go, upload many files at once, show web pages in dark colors and blank the screen through the API. Screen rotation now turns the display on the Raspberry Pi 5.
- 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.
- Anthias 2026.06.1 Video plays on the Raspberry Pi 2 and Pi 3 instead of a black screen, and more smoothly on the Pi 4 and Pi 5. Older balena players that lost their playlist after 2026.05.2 get it back.
- Anthias 2026.06.0 Stops Raspberry Pi 4 players on the official balena fleet from rebooting over and over, and a Pi 4 with no screen attached now waits for one.
- Anthias 2026.05.2 Fixes for Raspberry Pi 4 and balena x86 players stuck on the boot splash, and for Raspberry Pi 2 and Pi 3 players with no screen attached. Players flashed from a disk image now get new releases on their own.
- Anthias 2026.05.1 Smoother video on the Raspberry Pi 4, a Screen rotation setting, experimental TV power controls and a page that copies your content to Screenly. Videos your board can't play are now refused at upload, and running the installer again replaces lines you added to config.txt.
- Anthias 2026.05.0 The first Anthias release with calendar versions brings a redesigned web interface that works on a phone, schedules by day and time, HTTPS, and support for Raspberry Pi OS Trixie. If you set a password on 0.20.5 or earlier, set it again right after upgrading.
