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.

Web page transitions stop flashing another page, and other fixes "No cache" web pages are fetched fresh every time they show, a player that booted with no display shows a picture once one is plugged in, and upgrades no longer stop partway on boards short on memory. This release shows itself as 2026.07.1 in System Info.
Chunked uploads through the API now carry an upload ID Two uploads of files with the same name no longer end up mixed into one file. Integrations that upload in chunks with Content-Range need to send back the upload_id Anthias 2026.07.2 returns.
Video shows on a 64-bit Raspberry Pi 3 instead of a black screen On a Raspberry Pi 3 running the 64-bit image, video assets could play as a black screen. From Anthias 2026.07.2 they play through the Pi's hardware decoder, with sound, at 30 frames per second in the project's testing.
Web page assets can send custom HTTP headers A private dashboard that needs an Authorization header, such as a Grafana board behind a token, can now go on a screen without being made public.
Images and web pages on servers with self-signed certificates can play Content on an intranet server with its own HTTPS certificate no longer gets skipped or shows a blank screen. Turn certificate checks off for one asset, or for the whole player.
A new Timezone setting, and a Device time card on System Info Pick the timezone Anthias uses for schedules and times in Settings, and see on System Info what time the player itself thinks it is. On balena, where the host always runs on UTC, this is the first way to schedule in local time.
Anthias imports content from Yodeck, ScreenCloud, piSignage, and Xibo Moving to Anthias from another signage platform no longer means downloading and re-uploading everything yourself. Settings > Import content copies your images, videos, and web pages onto the player.
Raspberry Pi 2 and 32-bit Pi 3 players stop crashing to a blank screen On a Raspberry Pi 2, or a Raspberry Pi 3 on the 32-bit image, the viewer could crash every time it started and leave the screen blank. From Anthias 2026.07.2 it runs steadily on those boards.
