Ray5 Pilot v1.2.3

Ray5 Pilot v1.2.3 is a stability and cross-platform cleanup release focused on camera capture, timelapse reliability, Linux launcher support, release packaging, and status monitor configuration.

Highlights

  • Added a cross-platform file/folder open helper for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Added a Linux/macOS launcher script: start-ray5-pilot.sh.
  • Improved Linux startup by creating and validating a Python virtual environment before launching.
  • Added release ZIP packaging support for the Linux launcher and platform helper files.
  • Improved manual camera snapshots so they use the live preview frame first when available.
  • Improved timelapse frame capture so it uses the same safe camera capture path instead of calling removed/private capture methods.
  • Preserved RTSP camera config exactly as entered by the user.
  • Improved ffmpeg RTSP handling by trying the raw URL first and only using encoded credential fallback on authentication-related failures.
  • Hardened ffmpeg error logging so RTSP usernames/passwords are not exposed in logs.
  • Added status monitor settings to the Settings page:
    • Active Job Poll Interval
    • WebSocket Ping Interval
    • WebSocket Ping Timeout
  • Added config defaults for the new status monitor settings in both config.example.json and DEFAULT_CONFIG.
  • Updated safety checks to cover repo/release inclusion, platform open handling, camera snapshot architecture, timelapse capture path, ffmpeg hardening, and config key coverage.

Camera and Timelapse Improvements

Manual snapshots now prefer the latest live preview frame when the camera preview is active. This avoids opening a second RTSP/ffmpeg connection when the app already has a valid camera frame.

Timelapse capture now uses a public camera capture path and supports the same cache-first behavior. This fixes the regression where timelapse could fail with a missing _capture_bytes method after the camera capture refactor.

Linux Support

The new start-ray5-pilot.sh launcher helps Linux users start Ray5 Pilot more easily. It creates a .venv if needed, checks that pip is available, installs requirements, creates config.json from config.example.json if missing, opens the Web UI when possible, and starts the app.

On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, users may need to install venv support first:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-venv python3-pip
