Change Log
New Features
Local web configuration interface
Support for HLS streaming with m3u8 playlists (no metadata parsing)
Added an NTP check module at start to flag correct time to other applications (not configuration updated)
Changes/Improvements
New build environment based on Yocto Scarthgap and Linux Kernel v6.x. Updated internal libraries to meet latest security standards and address CVEs from the previous build
Improved log verbosity for Store and Play to prevent log congestion and volatile memory filling quickly
Improved firmware check and installation. Previously, the device tried to update firmware even if the same version was installed, causing inefficient CPU use and ALSA underruns. Now, the firmware update runs only when the portal's firmware version differs from the installed one (version format: “8.0.0”)
Optimized logs in “messages” - log rotation commands are no longer reported
CHANGE: During firmware update, the LED now blinks red and green (previously orange and off)
Fixes
FIXED: device opens the same stream over and over for no reason, result, devices plays briefly then stops, this pattern is repeated constantly.
FIXED: device sometimes flushes audio cues too quick, result audio cue was not playing.
