OpenAVC 0.14.0 makes network scans identify more controllers without any setup, and changes the first run so a new instance is protected from the moment it starts.
Controllers identify during a scan
Some telnet controllers send a Telnet negotiation in one network packet and their identifying banner in the next. Discovery now reads across packets, so devices like the TurtleAV Chazy and Darwin controllers are recognized during a network scan without installing the driver first. AMX device discovery also matches more reliably.
Secure by default
A brand new instance now prompts you to claim it and set a password before anything else. There is no unprotected window on first boot, and no default password to remember to change. Existing instances keep their current settings.
Hardened against the network
The rate limiter no longer trusts forwarded-for headers by default, and system updates verify their download and refuse to apply anything that fails the check. Several internal file-path and archive handling paths were tightened.
On the Raspberry Pi image, the OS login is locked down with SSH off and a single password shared with the web login.
Improvements
Running a command from a device page now shows proper controls such as dropdowns, number fields, and toggles instead of plain text boxes, so the right values are easier to enter.
Saving a change to a device no longer drops its sub-devices or any settings queued for an offline device.
The Surface Configurator gains visible-when and auto-page editors for control surfaces.
Per-device logs always capture what was sent to and received from the device, and the console log honors the level you configured.
Video sources send a codec hint from the discovery probe so downstream playback starts correctly.
Driver authors can validate avcdriver files live in their editor against the published schema, now linked from the docs.
