Release Notes

v6.9.1 18th May 2026 New Features/Changes: Promo Only music subscription service support:

  • Myriad's Import Wizard now has built in support for importing from the Promo Only music subscription service https://promoonly.com/
  • To enable the feature, click on the Settings menu then Database Settings, then on the Advanced tab, turn on the option at the top and enter the email address and password you use with the Promo Only service and click OK.
  • The next time you go into the Media Import Wizard, you will now see a new Promo Only button that you can click on and review the most recently released tracks available from your Promo Only subscription.
  • You can easily preview listen to each track before importing, and also select multiple tracks to be added to the list to import.
  • Items that have already been downloaded are shown with a tick making it easy to determine which tracks you have already downloaded elsewhere. AI Voice Links:
  • ChatGPT script creation: Added support for OpenAI's latest gpt5, gpt-5 mini and gpt-5.2 models. Item Information:
  • The Item Information view now shows also shows the Type, Gender and Era information for each Media Item. Split Voice Tracking:
  • A new optional extra feature is now available for Stations that are broadcasting to multiple locations/transmission chains using Split Break/Split Groups. You can now record a different Voice Track for each Multi Station enabled Split Station meaning you create a totally unique Voice Tracks for each split allowing you to identify the specific station/frequency/call letters, or include region specific information such as weather/shout outs etc.
  • To record the different Voice Tracks, you use the Segue Editor as normal, where you will see a new 'Station Selector' on the left hand side to choose which station the VT is for. You then record the Voice Track as normal, including hearing the out of the previous item and the incoming item for each station so you can keep the link sounding natural and 'as-live'
  • For more information about this feature, please contact [email protected]
  • Once you have enabled this feature, you will see a new option in the Clock Editor that allows you to add "Voice Track" placeholder items to your Clock, and on this item you can select whether it should be a Single or Split Station VoiceTrack along with any notes that should be displayed to the Presenter when they are recording the Split Voice Track. Scheduled Log/Scheduling:
  • Bound Items: When adding an item to the Scheduled Log, by default, any Bound Item will not be added if it would result in the bound item being placed next to a Link. You can change this behaviour via Station Settings>Log Editing> Allow Bound items to be inserted next to Link items.
  • Virtual Categories: Virtual categories are now built significantly faster, particularly for stations using more complex combinations of different Station Attributes to build the Virtual Category.
  • Refresh the Log: Refreshing the log now also checks and updates the Item Type for each Media Item in the Log. For example, if you change the Item Type of an item from Basic Media Item to Song, the item will be updated to be a Song in the Log.
  • Advert Log Import: Stations that are importing advert logs from 3rd party schedulers can now set a Custom Log file Start Hour. This is used where your traffic system is set to generate logfiles that do not run midnight to midnight, for example instead running from 2am to 2am. Upgrade Tool:
  • mAirList: You can now use the Upgrade Tool to import an mAirList database directly onto the Myriad MediaWall along with mapping Categories and Attributes. Multi-Station Media Items:
  • Per-Station Media List Items: A new optional feature is now available for stations using the new Split Voice Tracking option above. It introduces a new Content Type called Per-Station Media Lists, which lets you assign a different media item to each enabled Station. When the same item is schedule Media:
  • Ducking has been changed to add a very fast 'ramp' to the duck and unduck so the volume change is smoothed out.
  • Media Editor: The Save/Next/Previous buttons are now shown on all of the ribbons at the top of the window.
  • Media Library: The Media Library View now has an Edit button to make it easier to get straight to editing an item rather than needing to right click.
  • Media Mass Change:The Mass Change tool can now add an image to Media Items, or remove all images from Media Items.
  • Media Library Report: The name of the menu option has changed slightly to call out that it's also how you access the Mass Change utility and to bring it in line with Myriad Anywhere.
  • Most Played Item Reports: The Most Played Reports now ask you how many items you would like to include in the report, rather than being locked to 100.
  • Play Logs: An item is now marked as being played 'On-Air' even if the computer only had On-Air control for part of the item - for instance an item that finishes after the On-Air control has been transferred to another computer will now still be marked as played On-Air.
  • Myriad has been updated to the latest version of the Broadcast Radio SmoothStream playback engine. This brings significant performance improvements on modern computers with a higher number of logical CPU cores. Mixer support:
  • Calrec Mixers: Full support has been for Calrec mixers that use the CSCP protocol over TCP/IP. This support includes all the additional Mixer Commands to read/write channel status/position/pfl etc. You turn on this support via the Application Settings window on the Mixer connections tab.
  • Wheatstone Mixer: The "Log is active but stopped" output has been changed to be a short duration pulse instead of latching. Layout Editor:
  • SmartDisplayView: You can now control where the Text and image are positioned within the SmartDisplay. You can also now use the tag {StationLogo} to automatically display the logo for the currently open station. When you add a new tile, by default it now shows the Station Name and Logo. Scheduled Tasks:
  • Copy Log hour Task: There is a new option to overwrite any existing hours when copying, so you no longer need to have a separate Delete Hour Task as well.
  • Task Display: Tasks are now groupable, and are grouped by Type by default. You can also now sort via the Enabled and Status columns.
  • Task History: When a task run's, all User History events that are created as part of that 'Run' are now tagged with that Run so you can group those together making it very easy to track which events happened due to the Task. This works by storing the Task ID and the new Run ID in the user history. You can then Group by these columns in the User History window to show a clearer picture of how the task executed.
  • Edit Task: You can see the recent history for a Task on a new Task History tab on the Edit Task window. REST API:
  • There is a new endpoint available via the OpenAPI to control the first visible MediaPreview view. The first 2 methods available are to Open a media item into the view and to Clear the view. For more details, please see the OpenAPI Documentation from the Help menu. Database structure changes: The first time a new version of Myriad is installed and run, it checks to ensure the database structure is fully up to date and automatically applies any changes needed. This process has been changed to allow extra time for stations that have very large databases or slow running database servers. Database administrators who look after Mirrored/Always On SQL databases should be aware of the following changes that might require re-synchronisation of your database servers:
  • The Myriad database structure has been changed to add a secure new storage area for Login Credentials/API keys etc. for use with external 3rd party services such as the Promo Only service detailed above. These will be used in future releases of Myriad to access new services.
  • There is also a change to the MyriadTasks table to add in the Last Run information.
  • The Directory Database has changes to the Events table to store the Task and Run Ids. The following issues have been fixed:
  • Media Editor: Myriad would exit if you used the options to show the Artist or Item History reports.
  • Media Editor: Removing the name of an artist, but not clicking the X button to remove the artist row would not actually remove the artist from the Media Item.
  • Media Import: Importing audio files that are more then 3 hours in duration could cause Myriad to exit. You should still avoid importing files this large as the built in editor cannot full edit the item.
  • Media Import: Importing large Opus files would wrongly show the 'Scanning' progress as being completed when actually only a quarter to a half of the file had been imported.
  • Log Playback: In some very rare circumstances, editing the log just after a sweeper had finished playing over the intro of a song could result in the song playing out at the "duck" level for the remainder of the song.
  • Smart Transfer: The last item to be played when SmartTransferring the log to play on another computer was not being marked as played so did not show the 'tick' over the chain type.
  • Dashboard: The title and artist information for the "next" items to play was being truncated.
  • SmartInfo: Wikipedia information was not showing some characters correctly, for example the accented e in "née".
  • Myriad Schedule Virtual Categories: Fixed an issue where entering a year or "" for a Clock Position in the Clock Editor resulted in no songs being scheduled in that position.
  • Myriad Schedule Media Packets: Opening the Media Packets window to display Link packets was wrongly showing the Song Packets.
  • Split Stations: Split Stations were not recieving a the current Show and Now Playing Information when they first connected to their controllers.
