[Version 0.18.1] - May 2025

🐞 Fixes

Web interface: Fixed saving the time shift of astronomical time in the calendar event creation form.

⚠️ Important

Minimum version for installation 0.18.0
The update does not require the Player to be connected to the Internet.

[Version 0.18.0] - May 30, 2025

Calendar: Added the ability to switch the state of DO ports in the Schedule calendar events.
Art-Net: Added support for ArtPollReply packets with information about several ports in one packet. This allowed us to correctly detect ports and their configuration in devices implemented according to the old Art-Net 3 standard.

🛠 Improvements

Playback: Removed the accumulated time error in playback.
RDM: Disabled checking the checksum field of RDM packets. The problem was in the incorrect checksum field of the Art-Net packets, which led to their rejection and the loss of information they contained.

Web interface: Added saving of the selected language when closing or reloading the page.
Display: Improved the method of entering a new IP address on the OLED screen.

Web interface: You cannot load more than one animation with the same name at a time. A new animation loaded with the name of an already loaded animation will replace the last one.
Web interface: Removed the ability to load animations with a space at the beginning of the name. Loading such animations could disrupt playback.
Web interface: Fixed false display of non-existent network interfaces on Player V1.
Art-Net: Fixed detection of Converters with the new software version.
Display: Removed the menu “sleeping” after starting animations on the OLED screen.
Display: When changing the time zone, the time on the screen did not change.
Schedule: The currently active calendar event is restarted if changes were made to it.
Indication: Fixed the incorrect display of the light indicators of the RS-485 interfaces when updating universe information from the software to the Player.
