3 bug-fix builds
Builds 1375–1377Pre-release
Scheduled Sessions That Say Why
A scheduled session the server couldn't start no longer vanishes without a word. If an encoder isn't publishing yet at the scheduled time (and the camera has no fallback slate),…
Build 925
Deleted Clips Sync Both Ways
Deleting a clip in Analyse now sticks. It used to come back on the analyst's next push; the deletion is now remembered and handed to every analyst's Angles as one of its own…
Build 924
Clip Times in Order
A clip whose end landed before its start — a button saved with Time Up −10 hands every app start = press, end = press − 10 — is now stored the right way round on every save, and…
Build 923
MediaMTX v1.21.0
MediaMTX moves to v1.21.0 on the next software update (the installer and the update path share one pin). The config template's path hooks use the new upstream names; nothing else…

Choose the Angles That Upload Live to Amplify
Upload live during recording now lets you choose which cameras go up live. Tick the cameras in the new Upload Live list in the Options widget — venue internet often can't carry…

Changing the scoreboard template from the console on the Analyse page now swaps the preview straight away — previously the change only showed after reloading the page

A new mobile experience with an iPad layout
A completely redesigned interface matching Amplify Web, with a layout built for iPad and tablets.

Connection Priority Tools
Setting a connection's route metric now takes effect immediately — previously the new metric was stored but live traffic kept using the old one until the connection reconnected;…
Build 901
Scrub Bandwidth & Schedule Reliability

Build 894
Retro Scoreboard Editor
Forgot to run the scoreboard, or got something wrong mid-match? Open Analyse on any recorded session and press the SB button in the timeline toolbar — the scoreboard console docks…
Build 893
Scoreboard Clock Fix
Fixed the burned scoreboard clock skipping seconds (e.g. 00:05 → 00:07) — the renderer's screenshot timing drifted slightly past one second per cycle, so some seconds were never…

Export XML from every share menu, text that resizes with buttons, a reorganised Stop & Save menu and crash fixes.
Build 1.93
Multi-Sport Capture Profiles
