Hello all,
We're just released updates to the Myriad Family in the form of Myriad v4.0.17 Beta Release. This has quite a few new features, but also includes some general improvements and fixes.The biggest new features are that SmoothStream Extended is now used by default on Windows 7 and higher, and setting up a connection to SQL Server is now much simpler.Some of the other top level new features are:- 64 Categories in both AudioWall and AutoTrack
- Playout Admin Licenses can now SegEdit
- New SQL Connection window used throughout so much easier to connect to SQL Server
- SMX Enabled by default - Windows 7 and 8 users will now use SMX by default, in particular this is really good news for RVT users as they get proper fading previews when editing segedits.
- Selectable Peak or RMS normalisation in the Import Wizard and the Autoimporter you can now select to override the default Normalisation type to force Peak or RMS normalisation.
- Configurable Peak or RMS Normalisation on Cart Ranges in AudioWall Settings means you can now set different ranges of your AudioWall to default to different normalisation types and Levels – e.g. Links 1-1000 might be Peak normalised, whilst Songs in 3000-8000 might be RMS normalised.
- AutoTrack automatic database setup runs whenever you open an empty database – it will create template categories, a template clock and assignments, Rules Sets and even import all of your songs and links direct into the Database and do a test schedule.
- Tweet directly from Myriad and from the Scheduled log means you can manually add Social Messages to the Log and also schedule from AutoTrack. This requires OCP Pro to be able to post the messages to twitter.
- Tweet Now Playing info built in to OCP Pro instead of using the now retired separate P Squared Twitter application
- Dual Screen Vertical mode – if you have a wide screen monitor and rotate it vertically you now get Log at the top and AudioWall at the bottom.
There are loads of other changes included as well so more details can be found by reviewing the "Update Information" next to each download link on the http://www.psquared.net/technical-support/product-support/myriad-support/myriad-4-support/downloads.aspx page.
Important: This is likely to be the last release of Myriad Playout v4 that supports the older JET format database files, future releases will only support working with SQL Express or SQL Server based databases. Myriad AutoTrack v4 has only ever been available for SQL based databases, so this only affects you if you have not been using AutoTrack and chose not to use SQL based storage. For information on how to install and configure Myriad to use SQL databases please have a read of http://forum.psquared.net/6244//Installing-and-Configuring-Microsoft-SQL-Server-for-Myriad-v4?Keywords=sql%20server and also watch the videos on our Youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3CEFE18AC2BC6062
Please also remember that this is currently a Beta version and is not support by the main Technical Support Team except by prior arrangement.
