Myriad Management Service v6 - Version History

Related Version Histories

You should also review the Myriad Playout Version History and the Support Applications Version History as many parts of the the Management Service are shared with these products. For example, any changes to the Remote Edit Server in the Support Applications will also apply to the Remote Edit Server Daemon that is included as part of the Management Service.

v6.9.1 18th May 2026

New Features/Changes:

Media Engine:

• Ducking has been changed to add a very fast 'ramp' to the duck and unduck so the volume change is smoothed out.
• 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.

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.

Remote Edit Server Daemon:

• Important - new SSL Certificate: Myriad RES now uses a new enhanced SSL Certificate to sign all https communication with Myriad Anywhere and anyone using the OpenAPI REST API. You can install this new certificate via the button on the Management Settings window.
• Anywhere Tunnel: If you are running the RES Daemon manually (i.e. not via the Management Service) then you can now use a new /AnywhereRegion=<url> command line parameter to specify which Anywhere servers to connect to. For example /AnywhereRegion=us1.myriadanywhere.com

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.

v6.8.4 23rd February 2026

New Features/Changes:

Notifications:

• Email Notification: Added additional support for SMTP email servers that use unusual certificates/certificate revocation lists.

v6.8.3 7th January 2026

No new features or significant changes, but you should review the Myriad Support Applications History for a list of changes and updates to the Remote Edit Server/OCP/AutoImporter

v6.8.2 3rd December 2025

New Features/Changes:

Myriad Anywhere:

• There is a new menu option that will open the local Myriad Anywhere Tunnel status page in a web browser.

Playout Daemon:

• Media Engine Now Playing information: There is a new option that you can set per Player in the Media Engine Settings window titled "OCP" to tell that Player to send the Now Playing infomation for any manually played items straight to OCP, alongside any information already being sent from the Station Log. This option is designed for stations that play a lot of content 'live', rather than from the Log. If your main playout  is almost always from the Log itself then you do not need to turn these options on as the information will already be being sent from the Log.

Scheduled Tasks:

• There are new "Date-only" XML format tags available to be used in the filenames for tasks that export to files - these include <CURRENTDATEXML>, <CURRENTUTCDATE>, <CURRENTUTCDATEXML>, <LOGSTARTDATEXML> and <LOGSTARTUTCDATEXML>. These all export the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD.

The following issues have been fixed:

• Scheduling: If an item was rejected due to Type/Gender/Era rules, then it could still be incorrectly scheduled even if that means breaking other high importanance rules.
• Replication: Replication would fail when trying to replicate a song or link with a Myriad Remote Edit Server/Myriad Cloud running v6.7 or earlier.

v6.8.1 11th November 2025

New Features/Changes:

Playout Daemon:

• A Station Enabler is now required to use a Station with the Myriad Playout Daemon. For more information please contact hello@broadcastradio.com

Replication:

• Media Replication: The algorithm used to determine the list of Media Items to replicate when using the option to only replicate items that have changed since the last time replication run has been significantly updated to improve performance, particularly on large databases that many separate replication groups. This requires the replication partner to also be running Myriad Remote Edit Server v6.8 or higher.
• Scheduled Task: The Replication Task now has a Database Connection dropdown so you can choose which Connection to use for the replication. You configure these Connections in the Database Settings window on the Connections tab.

Scheduled Tasks:

• Log Mixdown: You can now insert tags into the destination filename - for example including the date/time in the current filename.

Version History display:

• System adminstrators can now control if the Version History information should be automatically displayed on startup the first time Myriad is loaded after an update. For more information, please see this help article.

Multiple Profiles:

• You can now show a custom image on the Select Profile window. For more information about how to configure these, please see this help article.

v6.7.3 16th July 2025

New Features/Changes:

Media Engine Settings:

• The options on the Playback Settings tab have been updated to clarify when each option applies.

The following issues have been fixed:

• Audio Playback: Rolled back to a slightly older version of the SMX engine to resolve an issue where time stretching being enabled would sometimes result in Myriad closing with an Access Violation error in a third party dll.
• Log Playback: Myriad would wrongly play sweepers that have an Overall Start set 'dry' before the following Song instead of during the intro.

v6.7.2 10th June 2025

New Features/Changes:

Audio Monitor View:

• This has been updated with the latest changes based on the Audio Monitor application.
• The detailed settings window for the Audio Monitor View are now available in German and Norwegian.

The following issues have been fixed:

• Replication: Replication was not checking the correct Station Enabler at the remote station if you are using Station References to map different Station IDs at each site.

v6.7.1 19th May 2025

New Features/Changes:

Station Replication:

• Adds support for the new Station Replication mapping feature added in Myriad Playout/Myriad Schedule v6.7

User and Security Replication:

• Adds support for the new User replication feature. For more information about this feature, please see the Myriad Playout or Myriad Schedule Version Histories.
• Note: If you are using Myriad Cloud, then you will need to change your security settings to allow users to sign in with their Myriad Accounts. You can find full details on how to do this in this help article https://broadrad.com/mcsso

Scheduled Tasks:

• There is a new Export Media Task that allows you to automatically export a specific media item as an audio file or a transport file. You can also specify the audio format to use for the export.
• There is a new Monitor Media Items task that will check a list of Media Items and send you a notification if one or more have not been updated recently. For example you might want to recieve a notification if you have not recieved an updated News Bulletin for several hours.
• Replication Task: This task now logs its success or failure directly into the User History for easier diagnosis of any issues.
• The Replication Task now creates a text log in the Logs\Replication folder for each replication task that runs.
• The Delete Media Task can now check a text file for a list of Media Items to delete. You also specify a media range that the Media IDs must be within, and any Media IDs in the file not within that range will not be deleted.

The following issues have been fixed:

• Media Replication: Replicating very large media items could use a large amount of memory while the audio was being download from the remote site.
• Media Replication: Deleting an individual item would not always be replicated in complex multi-replication partner scenarios.

v6.6.3 12th March 2025

No new features or significant changes.

v6.6.2 11th February 2025

No new features or significant changes.

v6.6.1 16th January 2025

New Features/Changes:

Automatic Software Updates:

• There are new Automatic Software settings in the Playout Settings window. These include options to allow you to automatically check for Beta releases as well as the normal Full releases.

v6.5.2 4th December 2024

No new features or significant changes.

v6.5.1 19th November 2024

New Features/Changes:

Myriad Tasks:

• AI Voice Links: There is a new task that allows you to pre-create AI Voice Links using the Management Service in advance, rather than waiting for Myriad Playout to create them on the fly. One thing to note however is that any tags that rely on "live" information such as Weather will not work via these tasks, as this information is only available to Myriad Playout itself.
• Scheduling Log: The Schedule Log task now has a Preset name option so you can set the settings for the schedule process including the new selected hours facility.
• Notifications: There is a new Notifications tab on the Edit Scheduled Task window so you can recieve an email/pushover alert whenevera a task starts, finishes, or if it fails while running.
• Task History: When a Myriad Task finishes, a new "Myriad Scheduled Task Finished" log entry is now added to the User History confirming the time the task finished running. To see this item, you will need to change the Event Type filter to show All Events.
• Database Maintenance Task: Myriad now creates a default Database Maintenance task when it first creates a new Myriad Database.

Settings Application:

• You are now only prompted to enter a Playout License when starting the settings application if you have selected to run the Playout Daemon and it's license has expired.

v6.4.3 6th August 2024

New Features/Changes:

Myriad Tasks:

• You can now specify full path/filename/prefix/suffix and filename format options for the Export Scheduled Log task. You will need to edit and update any existing Export Scheduled Log tasks to set the new parameters.

The following issues have been fixed:

• Scheduled Log Hour Replication: Uploading or downloading a Scheduled Log Hour from a remote station or Myriad Cloud system was not correctly setting the last modified information which would result in some stations seeing hours re-replicating or replicating in the wrong direction.
• Database structure changes: Several of the key indexes within the database structure have been updated to make them much more efficient to help resolve performance issues and reduce fragmentation with some stations that have large or very manually adjusted Scheduled Logs.

v6.4.2 13th June 2024

New Features/Changes:

• Publish to MixCloud tasks: These now only allow you to attach images that are stored within the Myriad Data location. This is to ensure that the Service can definitely access the files to upload to MixCloud.

The following issues have been fixed:

• Editing Tasks: Adding a Tag to a Mixcloud Publishing task would cause the Settings application to exit.
• Remote Settings: Clicking to edit the Remote Settings then clicking OK to save them could close Settings on some computers where the configuration is only partly completed.

v6.4.1 5th June 2024

New Features/Changes:

This is the first release of the Myriad Management Service application.

The Management Service consists of several key elements including:

• Myriad Management Service - this is usually installed into Windows Services and runs even if there is no user logged in to Windows itself.
• Myriad Playout Monitor application: this is a simple application used to display the status of the Management Service as well as the Daemons - see below.
• Myriad Playout Settings application - This is used to configure the Management Service as well as the various 'Daemons' - see below.

As well as the Management Service, you can also install the follow "Daemons" which are special versions of parts of the main Myriad Playout family that do not have a front end display, so are able to run without anything visible on screen. This means that users cannot close or otherwise interfere with these applications. Instead, you use Myriad Anywhere to alter the the settings and control the operation of the various Daemons, allowing you to restrict which users based on the normal User Security settings.

The available daemons are:

• Myriad Playout daemon - plays out a single Myriad Station using on board audio devices or virtual AoIP devices.
• Myriad Remote Edit Server daemon - provides remote access for users via the Myriad Anywhere plaform. If you have entered a Broadcast.Radio Station ID, and your station is enabled for Myriad Anywhere Cloud then this will automatically run the Myriad Anywhere Tunnel application and connect it to the Myriad Anywhere Cloud infrastructure.
• Myriad AutoImporter daemon - automatically imports content from a variety of sources
• Myriad OCP daemon - sends now playing information to external devices, websites or other services.
