trivum Release Notes

All owners of Android Smartphones and Tablets can now install the trivum Control app from the Google Play store.

It allows to find your trivum devices in the network, and to select and use a device easily.

This app also comes with a demo mode, for anyone who has no trivum hardware yet. Just run the app, select the online demo, and experience the trivum look and feel.

To use trivum in restaurants, bars and fitness studios, it is often desired to disable all kind of setup and configuration options, and to limit the music selection to predefined actions.

This can now be configured easily with two new options to disable the whole main menu and zone list in the control units. These options can be applied globally, or per control unit.

It is now possible to toggle between DSP presets like Pop, Rock or Classic directly in WebApps and Touchpads, under Sound Settings. This function is limited to the current zone. In group play it will only change the group master zone.

The scanning status display was fully reworked, allowing to see live status updates and more detailed scan results in the web configuration.

When using SpotifyConnect in it’s control zone it could happen that no stream play was possible afterwards, until restart. This is now fixed.

KNX displays showing 14 character text can now show if a streaming or FM tuner source is used.

This is an effect which widens the stereo listening experience. The level and a filter frequency (LPF) can be adjusted in the web configuration. So far this effect is available only for the FLEX line, like SC344V2.

It is now possible to swap the left and right output of a stereo zone, or to invert the signal phase.

When combining spatial effect, L/R swap and 4 speakers in a zone (2 stereo outputs of an SC device), it is now possible to have a pseudo quadrophony effect.

The traditionally black WebTouch can now be displayed with white background, ideal for use with Gira G1 and Gira X1.

To use it, type an URL like trivumip/?skin=white or use the global option under: System / Setup / user interface details.

Just like the WebTouch it’s content can now be enlarged or shrunk by adding a parameter, like for example: trivumip/setup?rows=20.

In many places the displayed contents are now auto refreshed, reducing the need to click Refresh at the right top.

If you limit a WebTouch to access specific zones only, you may not want to have the 'All Off' button displayed any longer, as it switches of all zones. Now there is an option to configure this.

For example, if a zone has it’s volume limited to 20 percent, then the volume slider will now go to the full right when reaching 20 percent.

Until V9.50 configured display names were used only if more that one account was configured for the same audio service. This has changed now.

It is now easier to create macros. The sequence of macro steps can now be changed.

There is now a new Inspect menu to group all kinds of system trace informations.

The tracing functions, e.g. Event Log, are now shown as tables, with many of them offering an auto refresh.

This was moved to the paging setup, where it belongs to.

On PCs/notebooks with multiple network interfaces it could happen that the trivum ServerAdministration tool used the wrong interface when searching for trivum devices, causing an empty list.

With version 1.41 it listens to all available interfaces in parallel.

Entering trivumip/sc will now again display the reduced user interface.

These now use a new technical base, with a fresh look, improved usability and improved compatibility with many devices like tablets, smartphones and touch screens.

trivum devices allow to define web automation objects like a KNX light switch, weather forecast, or webcam. To display these objects, until recently you had to enter a special URL in the web browser. From now on you get a button in the right top of the WebTouch allowing a direct switch to the automation area.

The WebTouch was fully reworked, using a new technical foundation. This allows use of the WebTouch on more TouchPanel PC’s then before.

There is now an option to list defined zone groups very compact in one line, instead of using one line per zone group.

The scheduler (automation calendar) now allows to define an audio volume directly with an event. So, if you run a specific playlist at 8 o’clock every morning in a room, you can clearly define to use a fixed audio volume, instead of using workarounds like setting a zone activation volume.

The web configuration now contains an easily visible function to upload custom ringtone files. Furthermore the size limit for these files was increased to 5 mb, which should be sufficient for the one or other full .mp3 music file to be used for a customized and reliable alarm play in the morning.

With audio services like Deezer, Tidal or Qobuz, it is possible to define multiple (premium) accounts on the same system. By default these are distinguished in the user interface by their account name, e.g. an email address. Instead of displaying that account name you can now enter a self defined name for more convenient display.

By default, when switching the mode of a climate control, trivum sends the current comfort temperature to the climate actuator. With some actuator models this is not desireable, as they change their comfort temperature themselves, based on mode dependent offsets. So there is now an option to disable this sending.

On a software update, trivum devices get two parts of software: the main music center software, and a firmware module.

In rare cases it may occur that an update fails to install the latest firmware module, causing audio failure. This is now detected, shown in the web configuration, and an option to directly re-install the firmware is offered.

After a software update users often have to clear web browser caches to use the newest code. However this can be forgotten. If you now select 'About your Soundsystem' in the WebTouch menu, it will show a warning about this.

Touch input was not recognized due to incompatible iOS updates.

Long press on +/- lead to endless triggering of that field, due to incompatible iOS updates.

It was not possible to configure the brightness settings for frontpanel LEDs with such devices in Slave mode.

When playing music in the first zone, then trying to Listen to that in the second zone, an empty screen appeared.

After enabling and disabling the 'once' option, it was no longer possible to use the generic weekdays range "Mo-Fr". Now it can be used again.

When using the function to test alarm play it showed an error: "No partner found for this session". Furthermore the configured audio volume was not used during test.

E.g. when opening extra information by "…​" for the current playing music, the lowest line was not reachable.

Passwords could not be entered.

A group name should reflect the master zone of that group, which is producing the music. This was not always the case.
