Latest improvements, bug fixes, and new features for AVstudio

  • App Container Update: More Control, Better Display, and Kiosk-Ready Deployments

    App Container Update: More Control, Better Display, and Kiosk-Ready Deployments

    App Container continues to evolve, with new features and functionality improvements arriving in the newest update. With the latest release, users can expect smoother performance, greater control over display behavior, and expanded capabilities for professional environments.

    New Features and Improvements

    Advanced Display Controls

    Users can now configure the top and bottom safe areas independently in the App Settings. This enables more precise control over how content is positioned on the screen.

    New Top Bar Display Modes

    New display modes have been introduced for the top bar. Users can now choose to:

    • Hide the top bar completely
    • Display it within the safe area
    • Extend content behind a translucent top bar

    These options provide greater flexibility and visibility when viewing projects.

    Screen Orientation Lock

    Users can now lock their device orientation to Portrait or Landscape, or leave it on Auto. This is especially useful for fixed installations such as wall-mounted control panels, where a consistent orientation is required.

    Kiosk Mode 

    Kiosk Mode allows users to lock a device to App Container for dedicated use cases.

    This includes several automation features designed to support reliable, long-term installations, including automatic app launch on device boot, automatic return to full screen after a restart, and automatic screen wake when the device is in standby.

    These capabilities make it simple to configure and deploy App Container in environments such as showrooms, control systems, and client demos. To enable auto-restart functionality, users must grant the “Display over other apps permission when prompted after enabling Kiosk Mode in Settings.

    RTSPS Support

    Secure RTSP streaming over TLS is now supported, enabling reliable playback from sources such as UniFi Protect cameras and other secure video streams.

    To help users get started, documentation is available in the public App Container GitHub repository. This includes guidance for using secure streams directly within App Container, as well as alongside AVstudio Studio.

    Why Try AVstudio Editor?

    AVstudio Editor provides developers with a modern environment for creating professional HTML5 control interfaces while simplifying many aspects of development. 

    You are free to build without being tied to a single hardware ecosystem, certification program, or manufacturer. That means your projects stay under your control, giving you the flexibility to work across different systems, support a wider range of clients, and adapt as technology evolves.

    Here are a few reasons developers are making the switch:

  • New Elements Now Available in AVstudio Editor

    New Elements Now Available in AVstudio Editor

    We are happy to introduce two new elements to AVstudio Editor: the Compact Shades Control widget and the State Control element.

    Compact Shades Control

    The Compact Shades Control widget is a more compact and efficient way to control shades in interfaces with limited space.

    Despite its smaller form, this new widget maintains the core function of the original Shades Control element. It supports vertical, horizontal, and dual-shade control modes, allowing developers to choose the configuration that best fits their project. Shades Control can now be fit into tighter spaces on the UI, allowing even more customization in design layout and flow.

    State Control

    The State Control element consolidates multiple true/false state controls into a single configurable component. Users can easily change its display to a checkbox, switch, or toggle, depending on preference.

    The element is also highly customizable, allowing developers to adjust its styling, colors, borders, and other visual properties to match their interface’s design.

    Together, these new elements expand the range of tools available in AVstudio Editor, helping developers create more efficient and unique interfaces.

  • Version 3.9.12: MQTT Connectivity, Bug Fixes, and more

    Version 3.9.12: MQTT Connectivity, Bug Fixes, and more

    AVstudio is proud to introduce one of our most powerful updates yet. Version 3.9.12 brings full MQTT connector support, enabling developers and integrators to build interfaces that communicate in real time across devices, control systems, and automation environments.

    This update not only expands what AVstudio Editor can connect to, but also the capabilities of projects created in the editor. Data can move fast and seamlessly between your UI and the systems it manages like never before.

    Full MQTT Protocol Support

    We’ve added complete support for the MQTT protocol, allowing you to:

    • Connect to multiple hosts and ports
    • Use secure (SSL/TLS) connections
    • Authenticate with login and password
    • Modify the PATH for total configuration control

    Whether you’re building local prototypes or deploying enterprise-grade automation, AVstudio gives you everything needed to fine-tune your MQTT setup for stability and flexibility.

    Dynamic Data Through MQTT Data sources

    With MQTT connectors, your AVstudio data sources can now be dynamically updated with live data. By linking to a specific topic, data inside your interface can be continuously synchronized.

    To streamline your development workflow, we’ve also introduced a Mixed DataSource Type. By combining local data with MQTT feedback, you can maintain a solid local copy of the data, enabling you to prototype your interface seamlessly. 

    Once you switch to production mode, the data will be updated in real time via the MQTT channel. This means no more waiting for data to arrive. You can build, preview, and deploy with uninterrupted speed.

    MQTT for Variables and Parameters

    We’ve expanded the functionality of variable and parameter updates through MQTT Feedback. By assigning the correct connector and topic, any variable or parameter in your project can receive live updates. This enables precise control of the interface and its elements.

    Connect to Node-RED, Home Assistant, and More

    AVstudio now connects to Node-RED, Home Assistant, and other systems over the MQTT Protocol. It only takes two clicks to establish a connection, making it easier than ever to exchange data between your interface and an automation or control system. This highly efficient solution enables dynamic management of data flows and end devices.

    Bug Fixes and Performance Enhancements

    In addition to MQTT support, this update includes several refinements:

    • Stabilized Mixed DataSources: Fixed issues where local fallbacks for a repair DataSource were not correctly retrieved.
    • Improved Performance: Element selection, positioning, and property adjustments make AVstudio Editor faster, smoother, and more efficient.

    AVstudio Editor Continues To Evolve

    Update 3.9.12 reinforces AVstudio Editor’s powerful features through open, flexible connectivity. With MQTT, Node-RED, and real-time data feedback, your projects can be created faster, smarter, and more precise than ever.

  • Version 3.9.0: Color picker, Round slider and more.

    Version 3.9.0: Color picker, Round slider and more.

    New Round Slider Element

    We are pleased to introduce our new Round Slider. It features outstanding responsiveness and can seamlessly fit into any environment. It can be adapted both in height and width simultaneously. All content within the slider also automatically adjusts to the element’s size by default, which is highly convenient.

    Taking into account your feedback and our previous experience with the earlier version of the slider (Circle Slider One), the internal content is now presented as a standard text field. This allows you to freely arrange the necessary content across any number of lines and format it exactly as you wish.

    Extremely responsive slider

    A rich set of options allows you to style your slider and achieve completely different results that seamlessly fit into your design concept.

    In this example, no custom styles were applied – only the basic element option was used.

    A universal approach to defining the list of element options.

    Due to the growing number of elements and their settings, it became necessary to standardize all properties in a consistent style across all elements. We carried out extensive work to group the properties in a clear and convenient way. For now, these properties will only be available in this form for the new elements introduced with this update. In the near future, we will gradually update the properties of all existing elements to bring them into full consistency.

    Appearance, content, action, and state now standard sections.

    Element state management.

    For new elements, we’ve made element state storage and usage universal. It can be stored and retrieved from any dynamic source: data sources, parameters, global variables, data received via WebSocket or HTTP requests. The Crestron option remains available. In the future, we’ll upgrade all elements so they can store, retrieve, and send state through any channels, not just Crestron.

    New Color Picker Element

    It’s time to introduce the new ColorPicker element. It allows you to add any RGB color range.It can store its state with any dynamic data; similar to RoundSlider, it is fully responsive and can adapt to any parent width and height.

    Auth improved

    We’ve improved the authorization system. Now you can log in not only using the Email and Password combination, but also via the Google platform. In the near future, we’ll add several more convenient authentication methods.

    Bug fixes and improvements

    • Parameter handling has become much more stable. We fixed issues with boolean parameters, as well as some update and dynamic calculation errors.
    • When creating a data source, errors could occur during test data retrieval, test function applications, etc. All these issues have been fixed.
    • Color selection in some element layers could be slow. We’ve improved its performance in the following object and will continue working to make this process even more convenient and faster.
    • And various other minor fixes and improvements.
