#v1.4.1.3_beta
System
fix -> apache2 updates was earlier set to hold because of crashing the system, now there is a separate option in the WebUI->Update to install only apache2 updates (reboot is needed)
improve -> Equalizer handling
improve -> Soundcard handling
new -> Equalizer MBEQ 15 Band is back for internal Zones / if activated EQ can not Setup any longer with Loxone App (tested with X86 Debian 10, Raspberry 10)

WebUI
fix -> config.php error if there is no internal Zone (Loxberry Plugin MS4H Client don't recognizes the MS4H)
improve -> Creating of external Zones now check at saving if client is a Loxberry-MS4H-Plugin Client and setup everything (Client must be already set up and running in the Loxberry Plugin) (Settings of 10 Band still saved)

Der EQ läuft jetzt auf allen getesteten System wieder ohne Problem. MSG/Loxone App wird ignoriert wenn 15 Band aktiv ist.

Ich habe den 15 Band EQ noch nicht auf Raspbian 11 Bullseye getestet, ich würde mich freuen wenn jemand der gerade Bullseye am laufen hat kurz feedback geben könnte. Danke

[buki]

Vielen Dank für den erneuten Versuch. Ich habe heute einen PI3B mit Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) und MS4H 1.4.1.3_beta installiert und eine MB EQ15 Zone erstellt.
Hat leider nicht funktioniert :-( ... wieder nur das bereits bekannte Rauschen. Die EQ10 Zone funktioniert.
Schade.
Ich hofffe der Multi-Band EQ darf für die lauffähigen distro trotzdem drin bleiben, dann könnte ich mal wieder auf eine neuere MS4H version updaten.

#v1.4.1.4_beta
fix -> Equalizer MBEQ 15 Band is disabled for Debain 11 and Raspbian 11 (search for solution)

[hismastersvoice]

#v1.4.1.5_beta
Player/Zones
new -> MS4H-Plugin - Support for grouped GPIO (Plugin Version >= 0.2.5)
new -> Support for ESP32-Squeezelite CLients / Powermanger / EQ 10-Band is working, because of limited CPU/RAM Events are not total synchronous
improve -> Creating of external Zones now check at save if client is a PiCorePlayer and setup everything

MSG
fix -> some minor issues

[hismastersvoice]

#1.4.1.8
System
fix -> Equalizer MBEQ 15 Band now works also for Debian/Raspbian 11, I believe that this is absolute unique, to get it work it was a total fixing and special recompile necessary. Thanks to @burki for the Raspberry Binarys
fix -> LMS IP was not set on reboot
fix -> Loxone Config Templates, fix the escape error for CLI-Templates

WebUI
improve -> File handling / Update / Dashboard
improve -> Navigation for initial setup (Forward to add new player if no player is stored)
improve -> external Player will only show Zones that are not already setup in the config
improve -> external Player direct reach of EQ in the DropDown

Hello,

sorry for my question, but what is the latest stable version 1.3.4.1 or 1.4.1.8?

Tnx

[hismastersvoice]

Release is 1.3.4.1 / Beta 1.4.1.8

[hismastersvoice]

IMPORTANT
There are many deep changes in the system
With this version, many significant changes are made to the system. I recommend the update only for experienced users.

#1.5.0.0_beta
System
new -> PowerManager2, new build from scratch, lighter, faster, less resources (90% less CPU usage compared to PM1). Helpful for bigger installations > 10 Player and important for Raspberry etc.
new -> After saving sound-card in WebUI-Setup the USB-Ports get a static mapping to the port, so the port of a sound card can not change after a reboot (happens very rarely)
new -> USB-Stick automount/unmount -> /home/music/music_files/USB_X (music-file-dir) X=Label of the USB-Drive or sda1 ect if empty. After mount/unmount LMS starts a scan for music-files
fix -> Netshare automount setting was ignored, it was always on.
improve -> Netshare starts after mount/unmount LMS starts a scan for music-files

WebUI
change -> Network share mount is not longer @ Setup->Network you can found it under Setup->Storage
fix -> minor typo fixes

PowerManager2
PM2 has been on my to-do list for a long time, but I've always been a little afraid of the workload because it's a very complex program.
- Written in PHP
- new query of the player states
- CPU friendly
- faster by ~ 0,5 seconds per status change (amp starts faster)

CPU Usage new


CPU Usage old


I have testet all kind of commands, only KNX I can't test at the moment.
So please do me the favor to test KNX. There should no issues, the command I use is the same like PM1.


The manual follows the next day.
In special USB mounting is not documented at the moment.


If somebody has bigger issues you can go back to the last best by using the follow command in console
#mstools update_ms update_1.4.1.8_beta

Please report the issue before downgrade.

[hismastersvoice]

System

[hismastersvoice]

#1.5.0.8_beta
System
improve -> PowerManger2, fix some minor issues

WebUI
improve -> Dashboard, faster load speed. On slower systems like Raspberry more than 1 seconds less of load time.
improve -> Code cleaning

If there are no response with issues this will be Release Candidate!

all working great for me - many thanks

[hismastersvoice]

#1.5.0.9
System
improve -> PowerManager2 - KNX send signal not longer to localhost or 127.0.0.1, now the signal goes the real IP of the MS4H. Avoids failures.

Overall
