TVS 6.8.0 (2026-10-31)

Update Notes - 6.8.0

✨ New Features

• Added a randomStart option for the program guide engine which lets the guide start scrolling from a random position, rather than always starting from the top.

channels:
  - number: 160
    name: Guide
    guide:
      randomStart: true # Optional. Start at a random point in the guide's scrolling cycle each time the engine loads.

• Added new capabilities to the bulletin editor's weather engine:
  • Current / daily precipitation, based on provider availability
  • Ability to save WeatherAPI.com API key in settings rather than config file
  • Ability to turn on / off different weather metrics in weather blocks in the bulletin editor / character generator engine

🔧 Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug in the character generator's crawl text where we'd incorrectly calculate font widths when web fonts hadn't finished loading yet.

⚙️ Other Changes

• Program guides now truncate long program titles like the guide engines we're simulating do and don't show timeslot info in space that is too small to display it properly.
