Release v1.2.10
Via-B v1.2.10 corrects match-minute scheduling, improves match selection and delivery feedback, and adds cleanup for generated graphics. It also fixes mapping navigation and the presentation of bilingual graphics.
Follow the match clock
Match-minute schedules now use Opta's actual period start and reported interruptions. They no longer wait for the next whole-minute clock update, the timing problem described in v1.2.9. Countdowns advance while play continues. Event-based updates still depend on Opta reporting the relevant event.
Before a run captures its inputs, Via-B refreshes the selected match's feeds. If a refresh is unavailable, it uses the available saved match data. Check the graphic before air, especially when the feed has not supplied all statistics.
In Operate > Scheduler, specific times and confirmed match events share one descending time order. Simultaneous runs stay together as their status changes. Past events show their actual time under When; Status retains the time from triggering the run to MagicSoft's acknowledgement. Events that had already passed when a schedule became active are marked missed.
Windows notifications use the same bilingual animation names as Mapping and Operate. Notifications now start on, and updating from an older version turns the saved setting on once. If you turn them off afterward, Via-B remembers that choice. Choose event types in Settings > Windows notifications.
Find and select matches
Select Match now shows daily match counts, consistent competition colors, actual half-time and final timestamps, and a preview that stays visible while you browse. Search covers the available match catalog and shows 25 results at a time; use Load more for the next page.
Mapping assignments use the same picker to select several matches. If a source cannot be loaded completely, it stays visible with Retry. Progress remains visible during a match switch, and Via-B checks the saved selection after an operation succeeds or fails. The update also fixes a database conflict that could interrupt selecting a match.
Clean generated graphics
Use Settings > File cleanup to remove current and previous generated graphics and their saved copies. Imported artwork and settings are preserved. Clean files after you have finished using the graphics in MagicSoft, then generate them again before their next use.
The top bar shows blue progress. Windows notifications report when cleanup starts and finishes, with file counts. Via-B remains responsive: cleanup waits for publication and yields when a new Run starts. Returning to Settings keeps the cleanup button in its running state until the work finishes.
Clean files on application exit performs the same cleanup when you choose Quit Via-B. This option starts off. Closing the window only hides the app.
Clearer Run and delivery status
Run reads the saved configuration without waiting for the module readiness scan. Accepted and running requests appear in the activity indicators, and module cards refresh their health when the work finishes. Saving an output folder no longer turns unrelated ready cards orange.
Automatic removal of old generated files runs separately from delivery, so a file scan no longer delays the next queued send. Waiting deliveries and saved retry failures explain their cause and automatic recovery. Normal transfers no longer flash an action that you do not need to take.
Schedule requests, module work, project scanning and startup follow the work's actual completion or cancellation. Slow work is no longer cut off by the fixed deadlines removed in this release.
Mapping and graphic corrections
- Opening a mapping profile selects a layer belonging to that profile. It no longer carries another profile's variation into an empty editor or falsely reports that the profile was archived.
- Active variations keep inherited mappings when their base template has been archived. This also fixes the related application startup failure.
- Player Stats checkboxes leave room for readable labels in narrow windows. The player browser sorts in descending order by default.
- Clubs has one Kit color for Match Stats and End Stat bars. Existing primary colors and other club settings are preserved.
- Match Stats, End Stat, Heat Map and Attacking Third preserve the supplied Plan B banners and their original colors in English, Thai and bilingual graphics, independently of the kit color.
- The leftover edge of the English title beneath the first Thai character in Match Stats has been removed.
Availability and instructions
Via-B checks for updates when you open the app. See Downloads for the published packages. Prewarm remains available only for End Stat; the other graphics modules still run their scheduled updates without it.
