1.8.1
Prepared emergency messages, the figures that matter in an incident, and a playback fix.
- New: six ready-made emergency and flash messages — a fire drill, a full-building evacuation and a lockdown, plus a full car park, an early close and overnight maintenance — so the Emergency page is useful the first time you open it. Edit them to suit your building; any you delete stay deleted
- The Emergency page now opens with the four figures you actually want in an incident: what is live, what is prepared, how many screens the broadest message reaches, and how many screens are offline and will pick it up when they reconnect
- Emergency and Flash messages are now listed separately, emergencies first, so the most serious message is never sitting below a parking notice. Anything you create afterwards files itself into the right section on its own
- Fixed: a rare fault in the progress bar could leave a screen stuck on whatever it was showing instead of moving to the next item. The next item is now scheduled before the bar is drawn, so nothing the bar does can strand the rotation
- Fixed: dashes and the × symbol appeared as garbled characters throughout the Screen Layouts page
Your screens
The Android TV, LG webOS and Samsung Tizen players are rebuilt at v1.8.1 but unchanged in behaviour, so your TVs do not need updating — the playback fix lives in the player page the manager serves, and screens pick it up on their own. Updating the players is optional and only keeps the fleet on one version number.

Upgrading from v1.5.2 or earlier on Android TV needs a one-time clean install (adb uninstall com.signage.tvplayer), because builds before v1.5.3 were signed with a throw-away key.
