This update brings more weather, easier music and uploads that don’t make you wait.

Detailed Weather

For those who want more than temperature and an icon, the new Detailed Weather plugin shows UV index, chance of rain and thunder, wind, gusts, humidity and pressure. Ideal for marinas, golf courses, ski resorts, construction sites and anyone whose day depends on the weather.

Listen before you add

You can now listen to audio files before you add them to a playlist or slide as background music, so you pick the right track the first time.

Uploads in the background

We’ve rebuilt the upload queue in the library. Files are placed in a queue that uploads and converts them in the background, even if you leave the library. Start a big upload, and keep working on your playlists.

What’s in this update

  • Detailed Weather: UV index, wind, humidity, gusts and more
  • Background music: listen to audio files before adding them to playlists or slides
  • Upload queue: files upload and convert in the background, even when you leave the library
