DiGidot C4 – Updates

Release Notes for DiGidot Controller Firmware v2.3.5 - Released on 10 of July 2023

Added

• LED IC: TM1824

Improved

• sACN: The DiGidot controller now checks the startcode byte of the sACN traffic and every packet will be discarded unless the startcode is 0.

Release notes for DiGidot Controller Firmware v2.3.4 - Released on 16 of March 2023

Added

• LED IC: Current control for TM1814. You can now customize the current that's being sent out to the TM1814. You can customize it for each color in 64 individual steps.
• Scenes: When using the accounts feature, and a normal user account is created and logged in, switching between scenes now goes smoothly with a fade.
• IOconfig: DMX TTL can now have up to 4 universes instead of only one. Keep in mind the performance will drop significantly if using more than 2 universes.
• Time logging: Every 'set time' command from the API is now logged so it's possible to trace back any time drifting.
• Developer options: When 'Developer mode' is enabled, this will have the following effect: Animations will be removed (interface reload required) and controllers won't reboot automatically at the triggers page.
• Hotkeys: To setup the DiGidot controller faster, the following hotkeys have been added: SHIFT + R will restart the selected device(s), SHIFT + Left/right arrow will browse trough the device list and ESC will go back one page.

Changed

• Device settings: When a manual time is entered in the controller, this time will be shown at the device page instead of showing a place holder text.
• Triggers: If you create a trigger, the default destination device, when using a single input device, will be a universal MAC-address (00:00:00:00:00:00) instead of using the exact device it's MAC-address so you can easily copy the trigger over to another device, without changing anything.
• Triggers: The restrictions in an action list (greyed out actions when choosing from the list) are now removed so you can freely assign actions.
• Logging: Reduce the maximum log file size from 10 to 5 Megabyte.

Improved

• Getting started: Changed the timing of the requests that are being sent to the DiGidot Controller while ordering devices, is now much more reliable.
• Record: The Record edit page on mobile now scales properly when switching from portrait to landscape and vice versa.
• Monitor: The table will now sort more responsive if you sorting on ping time, if you're using both PxLNet Node(s) and C4's.
• Highlight: The Highlight API now also accepts an array with values that can be used to highlight a selection of the output.
• UX general: in the File Editor, the scrollbar is now bigger in size so it's easier to use with a mouse. Also, the text render process has been optimized so the editor, and scrolling motion is much faster.
• UX general: If you enter a wrong value into a input field, for example, a character into a number field, there will be a red underline to indicate the value is invalid and should be changed.
• UX general: Styling of the Record page is now more responsive on mobile devices.

Fixed

• IOconfig: With DMX-TTL, you can now change the color order again if you've configured more than a single universe.
• IOconfig: With a PxLNet Node, 2 bugs have been resolved regarding autocomplete.
• IOconfig: DMX-Input is now ignored when you generate a scene. Also, the advanced settings of a DMX-Input can be saved again.
• IOconfig: When using Quick-Edit mode, the universe fields won't be changed automatically but remain untouched until you manually change it.
• Input watcher: Changing the device at the input watcher, now correctly shows the values of the device that's being selected.
• Input watcher: When using the same input universe multiple times, in the input watcher, this universe will only be shown once, instead of multiple times.
• Output watcher: Resolved some issues with the output watcher when using a 12 or 16 bit LED IC as a output.
• Monitor: On the monitor, the individual port highlight is now synchronized with the main 'Highlight' button.
• Record: When disabling triggers before recording, the triggers will stay disabled if you navigate to the 'Record settings'.
• Record settings: If you change the universe where the controller needs to record from, the universes displayed, will now be sorted based on it's number.
• Raw playback: The full area of the play button is now clickable instead of only the play icon itself.
• Playlist: If you want to play another playlist after a playlist is done, the list of playlist to choose from, is now correctly retrieved.
• Playerbar: When rapidly changing scenes, the Hue (color adjust) slider in the player bar will now have the correct position.
• Triggers: Playlist is now loaded correctly if using a linked trigger, when the action destination is 'Input Device'.
• Triggers: If you edit a DMX trigger after creating one, the input type won't switch to Art-Net anymore. Also, if you choose to trigger on DMX, and no DMX input has been created yet, it will be added to the Input/Output Configuration.
• Triggers: If you're using the linked trigger, in combination with a playlist, it now works as expected and won't endless re-trigger the active scene.
• Groups: Startup devices (show devices when the interface loads) will now function properly if you're using PxLNet Nodes.
• Groups: When changing a group, which also can change the unique id of the group, all the corresponding triggers and actions will be correctly updated with the new unique id.
• Backup & Restore: If a PxLNet Node with a SD-card is used with the feature 'Backup On SD-card', it will now correctly display a message in the interface if the configuration is loaded from the SD-card.
• Backup & Restore: Names of playlists, and the intensity of the status LED, are now correctly set when a backup is restored.
• License: For Live devices, the time and date will also be synced now. This prevents the expiration flag to be set too early, if an expiration date is present.
• Time & Date: Sometimes, a manual entered date wasn't applied. This has been fixed.

Release notes for DiGidot C4 Firmware v2.3.1 - Published on 3 of May 2022

New

• LED IC TM1934
• Loading device data parallel: With the release of our PxLNet Node, we saw the need to improve our total loading time, especially when you connect many devices to each other. The load time is the time it takes to get all the Input/Output/Network configuration, scenes, triggers etc. from all devices. With this improvement, the load time is dramatically reduced, if all devices have their own IP-address. Till now, if you have 20 devices, and each device required 5 seconds to load, the total loading time would be 100 seconds. With this update, the total time will be reduced to the loading time of about 1 device, which is 5 seconds. Basically, the device that takes the longest time to load completely, it will roughly take that amount of time, to load the data of all devices, regardless of the total number of devices.

Improved

• Art-Net performance: If the input/output configuration only contains Art-Net universes, sACN will now be completely disabled instead of going to stand-by mode. This way, if only Art-Net is being used on the DiGidot controller, but in the same network, sACN is used for something else, a negative effect on system performance is prevented.
• sACN: Streaming ACN now supports synchronisation.
• Memory allocation: If the DiGidot controller needs to allocate some memory, for example, when creating a trigger, the function that is responsible for actually checking if the requested memory is available, wasn't working properly and returned no error. This way, the function that requested memory, asserted that the memory was available but in reality, it wasn't. This could let to some random crashes (red/white status LED) that weren't traceable for us. This has been resolved now.
• JSON file parsing: The DiGidot controller now actively shows an error (red light on the controller and create an error log entry) if any JSON file (trigger/ configuration etc.) failed to read correctly.
• FPS monitor: Both the input and output FPS counter are rewritten and now shows much more accurate numbers on the Monitor and Diagnostic page.
• UX: The network page has been completely rewritten so a lot of (small) UX bugs have been fixed.
• UX: On the Device page, while retrieving the actual time, the Daylight Saving Time (DST) parameter will also be shown.
• UX: The process of automatically add/change/remove an IOelement because an IO trigger listen on an different universe is now more robust.
• UX: Dark theme in general has gotten a few tweaks on various pages.

Changed

• General: Product name references 'PxLNode' changed to 'PxLNet Node'.
• Recording: Number of unique input universes to record on, is going up from 14 to 16 universes
• Recording: The alert with 'FPS too low' (shown when the average input FPS, before recording, is below 50) is changed from a warning (yellow background) to a note (blue background. The note just indicates to the user, that the recording could be more smooth, if you increase the input FPS. But this is not always possible or required.
• UX: At the trigger page, when creating or editing a trigger, the number of (sub)devices are now correctly calculated, taking the bays into account.

Fixed

• (High) Getting Started: Now works again if you don't have a DiGidot C4 Extended in your network.
• (Medium) Output API call: When requesting output data from a particular port, the DiGidot Controller doesn't crash anymore if the 'offset' parameter is larger than the 'length' parameter.
• (Medium) Highlight: When highlighting a output port, then 10 minutes after the highlight has been stopped, the output performance was dramatically decreased. This has been resolved.
• (Medium) License: Fixed some bugs, and prevent an interface reload loop, if a temporary license is active.
• (Medium) UX: On the trigger page, the current OSC and UDP settings are now correctly shown.
• (Medium) UX: If only a single PxLNet Node is present, the update functionality now works again.
• (Medium) UX: Interface can be used again from a Firefox browser.
• (Low) UX: Cloning a trigger works again.
• (Low) Scene Generator (Beta): The preview function works again.
• (Low) WiFi: When switching the WiFi mode from Access Point to Client, it now returns the correct error 'password incorrect' instead of 'busy' or 'unknown'.
• (Low) UX: The interface now correctly checks if the DiGidot controllers have different accounts on them and gives the option to add the missing ones of delete them.
• (Low) UX: Reloading the Quick-Edit, when changes are made, won't give an 'unsaved' message anymore.
• (Low) UX: On the Input/output config page, you can once again, divide a DMX output of 512 channels into multiple universes.
• (Low) Accounts: When you try to restore an account with a password of 3 characters or less, it won't fail anymore.
• (Low) RDM: The DiGidot controller could crash in some circumstances when a RDM parameter is parsed. This has been solved.

Release notes for DiGidot C4 Firmware v2.2.2 - Released on 27 December 2021

Added

• Analog infotext: Added some extra information regarding open and closed circuit definition at the 'event' setting.
• Triggers: There is now a third category for trigger on which type of controller the action should be executed: 'On input controller'. This will write a universal MAC-address in the file so the trigger itself can easily be copied over to different controllers without any changes.
• Triggers: When going to the record page, there's a button added which can temporarily disable all triggers (except triggers that control the recording) so they won't affect the recording in any way. When leaving the record page, or restarting the controller, all triggers will be re-enabled again.
• Triggers: When using UDP or OSC triggers, if the controller is configured in WiFi client mode, the given IP-address will be displayed.

Changed

• Analog calibrate: The pop-up menu of 'Analog calibrate' will now, by default, select a single controller instead of 'All devices'.
• Triggers: When creating a trigger, the default output controller was 'All devices' which gave a side effect of always broadcasting the action of the trigger, even if there's only a single controller on the network. Now, when creating a trigger, when only a single controller is selected, the action will be executed on that controller only. And if the trigger is configured on multiple controllers (e.g. a group), the action will only be performed on the controller itself. Notice that the default 'output controller(s)' is changed but you can change it any destination you want.
• IOconfig: On a sACN item, the IP-address filter is removed because the controller only supports the default distribution of sACN (which is multicast) and with this, an IP-address filter has no effect.
• OSC: The controller supports OSC as a float (comma) value, or as a integer value. It's important that, for float values, the controller expects a value between 0.0 and 1.0 and for integers, it expects a value between 0 and 100. The description on the linked trigger page has been updated with this information.
• Triggers: A playlist trigger will now show the playlist name itself instead of all the scene names form that playlist.

Improved

• Caching: The caching of the configuration, the scenes and the triggers in the interface, will now correctly be cleared and reset if a SD-card format or a factory-reset is performed.
• Getting started: After the step of assigning the order for each controller, the wizard will use the controller(s) it's IP-address to communicate directly instead of proxying it trough the master. This results in a much faster process time when configuring the Input/Output configuration.
• Getting started: When clicking the 'Getting started' button, several warning prompts are being added to make you more aware of the fact the complete IOconfig will be removed if you make any changes in the process.
• IOconfig: The API will now return correct error messages when deleting temporary configuration items. Also, these items are now correctly removed from the controller.
• IOconfig: Added more usable RAM-memory due to the way the Input/Output configuration is saved, and loaded at startup from Flash to RAM. This improves the stability of the controller if you're working with a lot of universes (> 16) or a lot of triggers (> 25).
• Monitor: At the monitor page, requesting status messages now always goes directly to the controller instead of redirecting it via the master controller.
• Playlist page: When changing some parameters of a playlist, the page itself will be refreshed correctly to reflect the new changes.
• Quick Edit: Improved error messages when an invalid value is entered into an input field.
• Record page: If you quickly navigate to the record page and then back to the home page, the interface will no longer continue polling the fps from the controllers.
• Record page: After you've record something, and while saving a record, the progress bar of the interface is now more linear because it now checks the controller which takes the longest time to progress or save.
• Scene page: When recording a new scene, it will show up at the bottom of the scene list page even if there are already scenes recorded where the order has changed from.
• Scene page: If you already ordered some scenes, these will now be always on top in the scene list. New scenes (generated or recorded) will always be added at the bottom of the list.
• Scene page: When editing a scene, there will now be an error message shown if you try to save a playing configuration which is invalid with the current Input/Output configuration.
• Triggers: When creating a trigger on a controller where the action must be executed on a group, and the controller where the trigger occurred, isn't part of that group, it will now be broadcasted on the network to fire on controllers that are part of the group.
• Triggers: For IOTriggers (Art-Net/sACN and DMX), the interface will now check, when editing the IOconfig or editing the IO triggers itself, if the final IOconfig is still correctly configured to make the IOtrigger actually work.
• UX: When opening the RDM page, the interface now properly checks if the controller it's running on, is in portrait or landscape, and the layout will adjusted on that.

Fixed

• Medium (Analog calibrate): The 'analog calibrate' settings are now correctly saved/retrieved from the controller.
• Medium (Android): In some cases, when using an Android device, it could happen that the playerbar was very small and almost impossible to expand. This has been fixed now.
• Medium (DMX trigger): The DMX trigger saving and parsing process has been rewritten to make sure that the trigger will keep working even if the Input/Output configuration changes in the future. If this happens, extra messages will be shown to inform you about possible side effects when changing the configuration.
• Medium (General): Restart controllers now works again on controllers with a live license.
• Medium (IOconfig): If you changed the fallback color to black (value 0 for all channels), the item was correctly saved but the interface showed that red (255,0,0) was configured which was incorrect.
• Medium (Tickets): Ticket form it's URL is now accessible again. Also, the URL itself is dynamic now so if, in the future, the URL to the ticket form is changed, we can update that server side.
• Medium (Time triggers): When using a Safari web browser on a device (iMac, Macbook, iPhone, iPad etc.), the time trigger will now be correctly created again.
• Low (Accounts): If you try to change the username of an account, it's new name is now correctly displayed after, changing it on the account page, and also if you want to change the password of that account.
• Low (Backup/Restore): Triggers with the action 'previous -or- next in playlist' will now be properly restored from a back-up.
• Low (Backup/Restore): A backup operation will now continue even if there's a controller who's missing it's SD-card. This controller will be skipped.
• Low (Dark theme): Some buttons showed the wrong 'hover' color when a mouse pointer was on it. This has been corrected.
• Low (IOconfig): End channel was off by 1 (e.g. shown 513 instead of 512).
• Low (IOconfig): When you're in Quick-Edit mode, it will no longer disable the 'Save' button after you've saved on a single controller only.
• Low (Quick edit): When using the quick-edit mode, changing a DMX input now works correctly. Also, in the firmware, a hardfault is prevented when you're trying to remove a DMX input while it's still linked to another object.
• Low (Record triggers): Trigger settings are now correctly updated if you change the controller(s) from the top bar.
• Low (Record triggers): When using the 'save' command, the controller will no longer generate a fault when creating a new scene file.
• Low (Scenes): The scene list is now automatically refreshed after a record has been made.
• Low (Triggers): When saving a trigger with, on the input, a group of controllers, it will now be shown correctly at the trigger overview page.
• Low (WiFi): When using the 'Auto Channel' mode on the WiFi when it's in Access Point mode (which is the default), this mode is now properly activated.

Release notes for DiGidot Controller Firmware v2.3.0 - Published on 16th of December 2021

New

• PxLNet Node support: Our very latest product release, the new DiGidot PxLNet Node is shipped with this version where the interface has been fully optimized for this variant.
• GPIO output: We've added a feature where you can set a GPIO output 0 volt or 12 volt. This GPIO output is located on analog channel 1 and is available if this channel isn't used in a trigger. On the PxLNet Node, there's a second GPIO output (open-drain type) available which is, just like GPIO output 1, four times present on the D-sub connector which makes a total of 8 GPIO outputs.
• Diagnostics: Before this release, we already had some basic diagnostic information which could be found on the Monitor page. But now, we have much more: detailed RAM usage, processing time of each universe, Ethernet switch statistics, playback information, any many many more! Keep in mind this first version is primarily developed for mechanics which means there is little to no explanation about what every parameter means or what value is good of bad. But it allows us, as the developers, and mechanics, to help customers more effectively in case there are problems with the system.

Improved

• Discover: If the PxLNet Node is low on usable memory, the interface will request less devices to discover so the discover process itself can be completed successfully.

Changed

• Manual: The manual has been updated for the DiGidot PxLNet Node.

Changelog for DiGidot C4 Firmware v2.2.1 - Released on 2-9-2021

Changed

• IOconfig: 'Art-Net redirect' is now called 'Art-Net out'.

• Medium - Triggers: A linked UDP/OSC trigger can now be edited again after creating it.
• Medium - Triggers: When using a time period trigger, the option to trigger on 'Single time' will be fired correctly.
• Medium - Cache: A pull-to-refresh action on the scenes, playlist and trigger page, will now check the cached version of the items against the items on the devices and indicates other open interfaces that somethings has changed if the cached and current items aren't the same.
• Medium - DMX: Port DMX2 (active on output D3 and D4) works again if that's the only DMX output configured.
• Medium - Groups: If the internal battery is low, removed or doesn't make contact, group names will be correctly deleted on a power cycle so it's possible to re-configure groups again.
• Medium - WiFi: Switching from AP to client and vice versa, and switching from DHCP to Static IP, on the WiFi page will now correctly update all controls and text.
• Medium - WiFi: If you press the 'save' button after you've configured the WiFi to connect as client, the password will not be reset anymore.
• Low - General: When you lost the connection to a device, if you click the 'cancel' button, it will properly clear the message queue regardless if the previous message has been successfully sent.
• Low - General: Sorting devices on the network and IOconfig page, based on the 'devices order', is functional again.
• Low - Ticket: On iOS, the support ticket page will now be fully shown.
• Low - IOconfig: When switching from sACN to Art-Net, the universe number will now be checked if it isn't higher than 32767 which is the highest number possible for an Art-Net universe.
• Low - IOconfig: When changing the input protocol in quick-edit mode, the IO configuration now stay's in edit mode instead of directly saving it to the devices.
• Low - IOconfig: When the same input universe is added multiple times on a single device, the IP-address filter parameter will now be correctly set for that universe.
• Low - IOconfig: Changing between RGB / RGBW LED IC's will now correctly update the fallback parameters on the global settings page.
• Low - IOconfig: If you have multiple devices, and one or more, but not all of them, have a SD-card error, the interface will now correctly load the content (playlists / scenes / triggers) of the devices that don't have an error on their SD-card.
• Low - Scenes: When you don't have a IOconfig configured on a single device, the 'generate scene' page will now show an error.

Release Notes for DiGidot C4 Firmware v2.2.0
Released on 20 of May, 2021

New

• sACN
  (Streaming ACN) We added a new input protocol which is used more and more in popular lighting consoles: sACN! We support the multicast version, which is the default. This include priorities and synchronization universes.


• RDM:
  (Remote Device Management): We now have support for RDM devices with DMX! We can get and set the most common commands like device name device type, highlighting the device, the number of channels it's using and the start address.


• Input/Output Quick edit
  When switching to the Quick edit mode on the In/Out configuration page, the interface will no longer send every change, like: add, change, or remove a universe. Instead, you can modify anything on any device on any port and it won't be applied immediately to the devices so it's very fast. When you're done with the configuration, you can press 'Save' and everything that you configured, will be sent at once to the devices.


• Full Group support
  Partially, it was already in the interface but now groups are fully supported on all pages. For Playback of scenes, playlists, updating the firmware, triggering and recording!


• Send feedback to us
  If you have a question, encountered a bug or maybe have a feature request, there is now a new form where you can contact us directly within the interface! Go to 'Support' -> 'Feedback' and let us know.


• Advanced backup and restore functionality
  It's now possible to backup your scenes and playlists from the SD-card. While this could take a while, it can be convenient if the device is physically unreachable and the speed isn't that important. In addition you can save the current settings (IOconfig, network and accounts) on the SD-card to a special start-up folder so all these settings are applied everytime you power-up the C4 regardless of what changes you make in the current configuration.


• Play multiple scenes at once
  It's now possible for the play and stop action of a scene, to specify a layer number. This way, scenes can still be played in the background while other scenes take priority.


• For testing only
  The new experimental scene generator can now be tested from the 'Create Scenes' page if you have 'developer mode' enabled. You do need to have an internet connection to use it.

Added

• UX: On the monitor page, the FPS is now divided into 2 categories: Input and Output FPS. The Input FPS can be Art-Net, sACN or a Scene. The Output FPS is always standalone and shows the actual refresh time on the output.
• Time: A device can now show the uptime in milliseconds since power up.
• UX: It's now possible t name a backup.
• UX: On the record page, it now shows the FPS information for every device and a warning if it's too low.
• UX: If you have selected one device from the 'select device' at the top, when reopening this pop-up, it will scroll down to this device.
• UX: When using DMX TTL, an info message shows up about adding multiple universes on one port. If you use DMX TTL to convert it to DMX, you can only have one universe but if you're using DMX TTL to control a LED-string directly, you can have multiple universes on one port
• UX: When you're creating a backup, an ETA will be calculated to give an indication how long the backup process will take.
• UX: On the 'Triggers' -> 'HTTP/UDP/OSC' menu option in the top right corner, it will show available HTTP-GET commands for each scene and playlist to integrate in your system.
• UX: You can now set an 'Alpha' value for the scene and playlist 'play' trigger.
• UX: (Extended only) On the debug page, we've added an option called "API logging" which logs every single API request from the UX to the device and saves it on the SD-card in the LOG file.

Changed

• UX: On many places where you can input a time value, the single input field (which was in milliseconds most of the time) has been replaced with a time control (Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Milliseconds) so from now on, you can quickly confirm if a specific time is set or if a new time value needs to be configured.
• UX: On the global settings page of the Input/Output configuration, if you have a Art-Net redirect configured, you now have the option to apply the global settings only on regular inputs and keep the Art-Net redirect(s) untouched.
• UX: On the homepage, there's a new option with 'Support' where the manual can be found. On this page, you can also find the new 'Feedback' and 'FAQ' pages. Keep in mind that these two options require an internet connection where the manual can still be viewed offline.
• Users: A user can no longer highlight a device output an can't delete playlists anymore.
• UDP: Regular UDP triggers will no longer send "0.000" in it's message, only it's keyword starting with '!' and ending with '#'. Existing UDP triggers, before this update, will still use the zero value in it's message unless it's changed.
• Manual: The manual has been updated with all the new features in this version like RDM, sACN, playback on different layers and many more.
• UX: On the Input/Output configuration page, the 'Art-Net redirects' option is renamed to 'Art-Net out'. This i to make it more clear that Art-Net can be send standalone, for example; If you have multiple DiGidot C4 Live devices and want to control them with a single DiGidot C4 Extended.

Improved

• Triggers: The 'Next' and 'Previous' commands for playback, works only with a playlist. The trigger description has been updated with this information.
• UX: You can now have multiple time inputs in a single trigger.
• UX: On the monitor page, next to 'Latency from Ethernet', it will show the latency from the Wi-Fi depending on how you are connected with your C4.
• UX: If the interface is loading with a different port than 80, it will use the port specified in the address bar to communicate with the C4.
• UX: The network page now reacts better when devices are connected after the page has been loaded.
• UX: In all popover menus, a mouse hover color is added so you can see which option you're going to choose.
• UX: The style of the knobs in the sliders for 'Color Adjust / HSV' and Saturation modifications, have been changed so it's always visible regardless of the background color.

Release notes for DiGidot C4 Firmware v2.1.5 - Released on 23-12-2020

Added

• LED IC: Support for GS8206.
• LED IC: Support for LPD1101.
• LED IC: Support for UCS1909.
• LED IC: Support for UCS2909.
• Triggers: Counter trigger compatibility.
• Status LED: The onboard status LED now has 4 options for brightness: 0%, 10%, 25% and 100%.
• Time: It's now possible from the interface to enable or disabled Daylight Saving Time (DST). The DST implementation is based on Europe.
• Art-Net redirect: The destination address can be specified for a Art-Net redirect. By default, it will broadcast the universe on the whole network. It's recommended to specify an IP-address to significantly reduce the network load.
• UI: It's now possible to add multiple universes on a DMX output. Keep in mind that the total number of channels on that output is still 512.
• UI: After a recording, the UI verifies the record of all connected devices and shows a message if is a significant number of skipped frames.
• UI: Global settings toggle "Smart DHCP Server" and "Subnetmask" (for ethernet) added.
• UI: When creating a UDP or OSC trigger, the default receiving port can be found the text description (port 6454 for UDP and 8000 for OSC).

Changed

• Manual: A new version of the manual is included with will contains all changes since v2.1.4.
• UI: When using the Safari browser on a iOS device, you can now download and upload files with the file browser. On all mobile platforms including iOS, and in the app, only uploading files is supported. For downloading files, you need to use a desktop/laptop.
• UI: We changed our advice regarding the maximum number of scenes in a playlist form 20 to 50 due to optimalisation of the playlist file.
• UI: The playerbar when opened now has the icons on top of the sliders to prevent accidental long press when dragging the slider.
• UI: By default, the time won't be retrieved every 3 seconds at the device page. To enable this, click the 3 dots in the top-right corner on de device page and select "Show device time".
• UI: Device order number can now be changed after using the "Getting Started".
• UI: Just like a scene, prevent a user from deleting a playlist when it's currently playing.
• UI: The license request to the register server has a higher timeout (100 instead of 15 seconds) for requests with many devices in a single network and/or with a low bandwidth.

Improved

• Update: On the FWupdate page, the default upload speed is almost 2 times faster.
• SDcard: In some rare cases, it could happen that, when you insert a SDcard into a DiGidot C4 Extended, "No SDcard" is returned as a error. If you're sure that the SDcard is inserted correctly into the C4, you can go to the web interface -> Settings -> Interface -> Enable developer mode. Then go back to Settings -> Debug Environment -> Force SDcard communication. This way, the card detect pin is bypassed.
• UI: On the device page, the interface will no longer send request to the C4 in the background when the window is not active anymore.
• UI: More informative error messages on the file browser page.
• UI: The whole UI now has a design which is more consistent across different pages.
• UI: Text description on the trigger page, when using type "analog" or "button" is also more consistent.
• UI: Text is now selectable on many pages so you can copy/paste things easily.
• UI: Removed unnecessary "status" requests when the WiFi tab on network page is active.
• UI: Text description of Time Period option while using a time trigger.
• UI: On the accounts page, there have been several improvements regarding: clicking actions of overlaying buttons, change the cursor icon when hovering over buttons, and prevent editing accounts when the current user doesn't have enough rights to edit them.
• UI: When saving a trigger, the interface will now re-fetch all triggers from the device and then re-adds the trigger to that. Because of this extra check, any changes from the moment the interface is loaded, until the trigger is actual saved, won't be lost anymore.
• UI: When loading the interface, all assets of the interface are now checked for integrity and a reload button will be shown to notify the user something went wrong.
• UI: Various improvements in the dark theme.
• UI: Improved error handling and stability when using the interface on a high number of devices (more than 20).
• UI: If a scene can't be played, an error will be shown.
