2) the size for artwork for rounded tables is not in proportion for xyla. Although it has been somewhat fixed by the zoom option, would like to request to select which area of the artwork it will zoom at and how much % of zoom it can cover the artwork (can zoom out/zoom in or drag to select which area of artwork to zoom)

3) for those zoomed out artworks with white/empty backgrounds, request to automatically add a layer on the white/blank background of the artworks beneath the artwork so that there will be lesser need to run an erase before starting the artwork

4) option to choose which erase artwork before running the artwork in the playlist. And a  seperate speed setting to do the erase and artwork.

all in all, great product for my living room

I'm particularly happy with the new LED pattern. Ripples is a bit like watching a pond where your ball is a pond-skater. When the ball changes directions or hits the edge, it makes a wave across the sand field. Smoother tracks have a smoother surface, busy tracks make for wavy pond. Let me know what you think of it: Which tracks look best with it?

Sisyphus 1.12.25 update includes:

• New LED pattern: Ripples
• Bug fix for DNS errors
• Queue: bug fix for reordering tracks and inserting additional tracks
• Auto-set Reversible when adding a track
• BLE: Wi-Fi reset/Hotspot added
• Startup checks filesystem size, clears large logs if too full
• XYLA: home sensor check once a week
• Additional bugfixes

Sisyphus App 1.12.36:

• BLE Wi-Fi Reset/Hotspot buttons if found and unable to connect
• XYLA Drawing area increased to fill space & fixed aspect ratio on preview
• XYLA removed glow from History images
• XYLA passcode homepage image fixes
• Onboarding text changes
• Socket connection delayed until finish of initial loading
• Additional bugfixes

Some particular notes: The "BLE Wi-Fi Reset/Hotspot" shows a page with buttons that allow the app to force a reconnect of the Wi-Fi network if the Sisyphus is found (via Bluetooth), but unable to connect to it on the network. This should help anyone who accidentally adds the Sisyphus to a Guest network or has particular router settings, such as Airtime Fairness, that disable the communication between app and Sisyphus. If a Passcode is set on your Sisyphus, the BLE Hotspot Reset will not work, you will need to physically use the Reset button on the table to force it back into a Hotspot. This should prevent unwanted tampering of settings. We suggest any Sisyphus in a public space should have a Passcode set on it.

• Initial Homing bugfix
• Bugfix where table would Wake after pausing between tracks
• Improved RGBW LED frequency
• Improved messaging on connection issues
• Navigation buttons for scrolling Featured Playlists
• Fixed Onboarding after restoring from Backup
• Community track download fixes
• Additional bug fixes

A couple very important fixes are included that I want to point out: Homing bugfix corrects an offset issue. Your table will recalibrate homing once, on first run after the update, where you may hear a few clicks from the motors hitting the end of travel length. This is expected, and will not hurt your Sisyphus. Secondly, the bug where your table could Wake from Sleep at unexpected times is fixed. It would happen when the Pause Between Tracks time would expire, and it start playing right away, bringing itself out of Sleep. The new behavior is that if the timer expires, and it is currently asleep, it will Play at the Wake time instead.

One final note, when the new phone apps are released, we are going to start requiring the Sisyphus be on the most recent update (1.12.17 at this time) in order to download Tracks and Playlists from Community. We are updating our Webcenter server, and this update puts the tables in line with the server request changes that are coming. If you've already updated, you will not be affected at all.

• Added track drag lines to Playlist Edit page
• Fixed all traffic to port 80
• Added missing History button on Finished Playing title
• Fixed downloaded Playlist from giving "undefined" error on play
• Log out from Community if you disconnect from Wi-Fi
• Fixed Downloaded values of Community Playlists when changing Sisyphus
• Fix white light fade to zero
• Added Percent, Pie Complete, and MonoPaint RGBW patterns
• Track Percent is now based on time, not vert count
• Bugfix for missing reversible value
• Improved Homing routines
• Additional bugfixes

The new patterns will be automatically added to the list on the Settings page.

Thanks!

Feature request:  Please remove the password length check for *joining* wifi - there is no need to do that.

• Faster initial data load time
• Remove From Queue button has been added to the bottom of Tracks page when in "Next Up"
• Changing the Track while homing correctly starts the selected Track when homing finishes
• Bug fix for Track playing twice (when it should not)
• When choosing to play a specific Track within a Playlist, it also adds the rest of the Playlist to the Queue (in Playlist order)
• Improved pre-calculated Track time
• Additional bug fixes 

As of writing this post, the matching iOS app update is "In Review", and will release as soon as approved.

Timezone will initially be set automatically for you, based on the timezone of your phone or browser. You can manually change the timezone on the Night Mode page, and your Sisyphus will stay on the selected timezone even if your phone or browser timezone does not match.

Erase Before Playing is an option on each individual Track page. This setting is per-track, so if you turn it on for "Sailboat", every time that track plays, it will run an erasing movement right before it. The currently playing name will be "Sailboat", it does not say "Erase" during those movements. It also plays the erase movement at a faster speed than the regular track movements.

The Queue is a new way that the Sisyphus manages the upcoming tracks. It is a single list which can be added to and rearranged at any time. If you play a playlist, it will put all of the tracks into the Queue and begin playing. Making a change to the playlist after that will have no effect on the queued tracks.

In "Next Up" on the homepage, you can toggle the Connections button to see if any extra movements are needed between tracks as well as if they have been reversed to smoothly move between tracks. Drag the double-bar on the right side of the track line to rearrange upcoming tracks. The queue will do its best to play the tracks without connection lines, reversing tracks when needed and able.

Some smaller additions and bug fixes include:

• The initial connection to the table splits data into smaller chunks (tracks/playlists/etc) so the app is less likely to lose connection on a table with a large library
• Homing speed is now independent of the speed slider
• Improved slowdown when ball is near the edge (especially on Erase)
• Reversed track image when track is playing in reverse
• Primary/Secondary color swap button
• Color hex code accepts 6-digit values (and fills white with 00)
• Clearer error messages for homing failures
