I have installed Anthias on a raspberry 5 (booting from nvme) running bookworm (labwc) and works fine. Starts up and displays my assets. When the building empties for the day the tv is turned off and the pi is kept running. Next day when tv is turned on there is a black screen as I assume it goes into powersave or something like that. TV does see that something is attached to the hdmi. Have to restart the pi to get display back. Was installed by loading pi debian os then using curl to install anthias. Any suggestions as to issue and how to fix?
@ab8yk, nice catch. Thanks!
I just created an issue for this one—[BUG] Bank screen after the display was turned of and then off again · Issue #2575 · Screenly/Anthias · GitHub. Please do take note that open-source contributions are always welcome.
@ab8yk, following up, because there is a proper answer for this now.
2026.08.1 added a display schedule: Settings → Display schedule, with an on time, an off time and per weekday selection. On a TV that supports HDMI CEC, Anthias powers the TV down in the evening and brings it back in the morning by itself. The screen is then never switched off by hand at the end of the day, and the Pi keeps the HDMI link up the whole time, which is the part your setup was tripping over.
If the TV still gets switched off at the set in your building, upgrade anyway. There have been several viewer fixes since last November for displays that disappear and come back, so retest on the current release before changing anything else: Release 2026.08.2 · Screenly/Anthias · GitHub
