Audioserver Changelog

Audioserver 2.8.7.4

NOTE: If a Miniserver Compact is installed with an Audioserver, Config version 14.3.7.4 Beta 1 or higher is required.

Fixed:

  • Fix issue with extension launcher process could be started twice
  • Fix issue with missing kernelupdate leading to spotify unplayable on Audioserver outputs
  • Added Audio Testfiles into Library to easily identify right/left outputs
  • Fix incorrect playstates from spotify (show paused whilst playing)
  • EQ rebalanced for much better sound when a customer does not configure the EQ of a player
    • Will only apply to players with all EQ Bands to 0 at the time of installation of this update
    • Of course it will not change anything if there is already a custom setup
    • Will only apply once, future updates or changing the EQ back to 0 will not lead to a change again
  • Optimized PTP for larger loxone installations where a lot of ptp traffic is expected and could have negative effects on time synchronisation
Audioserver 2.7.12.14
NOTE: If a Miniserver Compact is installed with an stacked audio server, the Miniserver Compact must be at least on Loxone Config 13.2 Beta 3.

Features:

  • Custom sound input on the Audio Player FunctionBlock:
    To play back a freely definable MP3 file, triggered by logic or API command.
  • Standby consumption:
    The currently very low stand-by consumption has been further improved.
  • Combination with the Miniserver Compact:
    Especially in larger installations where several Miniserver Compact and Audioservers are used in combination, the new update ensures improved communication and stability for cross-device audio zones.
  • Stability:
    Optimized caching and logging to create more memory for audio playback.
    Improved synchronicity in cross-device playback via Tree Turbo (latencies < 1ms).
  • System Messages:
    Displayed system messages now describe the error messages even better (Spotify reason for playback error, ….).
