ScreenTinker v3.1.4

Added

• Native Samsung SSSP3 / Orsay player (#806, with #802, #803, #805). A native player for
  Samsung's older SSSP3 / Orsay smart-signage panels, with legacy-compatibility rendering kept
  isolated from the modern path (#805) and server-approved media renditions bounded so an old panel
  is never handed a stream it cannot decode (#803). Contributed by @MashaWaleed.

• Offline schedule plan (#804, #818). The server resolves a device's schedule into a bounded,
  already-UTC timeline and attaches it to the payload (offline_plan), and a player that declares
  the capability pre-caches every state's media and transitions between scheduled playlists and idle
  gaps while disconnected, instead of replaying its last non-empty playlist past the end of its
  schedule. The SSSP3 and Android players (#819) both honour it. Requested by @MashaWaleed.

• Live in-place data-source field updates on slides (#790, #817). When a bound scalar field
  changes, the player patches just that value in the live widget instead of reloading the whole
  slide, so an animation or video no longer restarts on a data refresh. Behind an org flag
  (live_field_patch, off by default), slides only; templates keep the safe reload path.
  Requested by @olchinga-de.

• LED screens: animation and remote settings (#812). Animated GIFs and slides render on LED
  matrix screens, with remote brightness and a power limiter. A new Traffic page shows bandwidth
  served by kind, workspace and screen beside the NIC totals (#813). Contributed by @renebohne.

• Configurable PDF import resolution (#816). The maximum edge a PDF page is rendered at is now an
  organisation setting (1920 / 2560 / 3840, default 1920) instead of a fixed constant, so a site that
  needs sharper pages no longer has to patch the build. Requested by @olchinga-de.

• Flash an ESP32 controller from the dashboard (#823). René's esp-web-tools web-serial installer,
  vendored in and served at /flash (linked from Add Display), so an operator can flash a
  Seeed/Elecrow controller (LED wall, reTerminal e-paper, CrowPanel) over USB and have it point back
  at this instance (the server URL is pre-filled). Chrome/Edge/Opera desktop only; complements the
  existing OTA update path for already-paired devices. Firmware by @renebohne.

Fixed

• A slide fed by a data source only reloads when a field it shows changes (#790, #814). A REST
  source that stamps a fresh timestamp on every fetch no longer reloads every bound slide; the server
  reloads only slides whose {{ds:slug.key}} tags name a changed key. Reported by @olchinga-de.

• Recurring schedule occurrence semantics are defined (#802), so the live resolver, the preview
  simulator and the offline plan agree on when a recurring schedule is active. Contributed by
  @MashaWaleed.

• Recurring database corruption after the nightly backup is fixed (#815). The 03:00 backup's
  cross-process VACUUM reader raced the off-thread TRUNCATE checkpointer; the checkpointer now pauses
  for the backup window, so a busy database is no longer at risk of free-list corruption.

• Legacy web panels play cached video offline (#820). On webOS / Tizen-era Chromium (e.g. Chrome
  79) a <video src=url> request bypasses the service worker, so a cached clip failed offline; a
  local, cached, size-bounded clip is now played from a blob: URL built from the cached bytes.

• SSO: the SAML Issuer check stays in issuerMatches, not node-saml (#811).

Dependencies

• Routine server, Docker and Gradle dependency bumps (#807, #808, #809, #810), and two build-only
  security bumps: decode-uri-component 0.5.1 (Roku build tooling) and setuptools 84.1.0 (macOS
  packaging CI) (#821).

Artifacts

• screentinker-3.1.4.tar.gz - bundle: server + frontend source + the Tizen .wgt (the signed Android APK is added at the root during release finalization).
• ScreenTinker.wgt - Tizen TV web app, unsigned - for inspection only.
  Sign it with your own Samsung certificate (Tizen Studio + a profile that includes
  your TV's DUID) to install, or - easiest - point a Tizen TV browser / URL Launcher
  at https://<your-instance>/player (no signing needed).
• ScreenTinker.ipk - LG webOS Signage app. Install from USB or an SI server; it then
  updates itself from your instance. Built without LG's SCAP library (not redistributable),
  so power and self-update controls need a build from webos/build-ipk.sh with the SDK
  files in webos/vendor/; see docs/webos-player.md.
• com.lg.app.signage.ipk - the same webOS app for panels in Local application launch
  mode, which install only a file of this name from the application/ folder of a USB stick.
• autorun.zip - BrightSign player installer. Drop it on the root of a player's
  storage (microSD, USB, or internal flash) and power-cycle: it unpacks itself and
  reboots into the player. Edit screentinker.json inside the archive first to
  point it at your own server.
• autorun-server.zip + server-payload.zip + server-payload.json - make a
  BrightSign run the ScreenTinker server rather than just a player. Drop the
  first on the player's storage root with an st-config.json containing
  {"server": 1}; it fetches the payload on boot. Point payloadUrl at your
  own host - the default reaches ours, which is wrong for your site. The manifest
  must sit beside the payload wherever you serve it: the launcher reads it to
  decide whether an update is published.
• Docker image: ghcr.io/screentinker/screentinker:3.1.4 (also :latest).
• ScreenTinker.apk - signed Android player (attached during release finalization).
• screentinker-sbom-3.1.4.cdx.json - CycloneDX 1.5 software bill of materials for the server's production dependencies, with the licence of every component.
• screentinker-3.1.4.provenance.sigstore.json - signed SLSA build provenance for every file above that this workflow built (the APK and Roku package are attached later, from a workstation, and are not covered).
