sACN Multicast Limit (Linux)

DMXRouter now automatically raises the kernel IGMP multicast group limit on Linux when needed. sACN uses one multicast group per universe — the default Linux limit of 20 is too low for professional setups with many universes. On startup, DMXRouter detects the current limit and raises it to 1024 if necessary, requesting elevation via pkexec when not running as root. No manual sysctl commands needed.

Fixture Database — Serial Number & Notes

The Fixture Database now includes editable Serial and Notes columns. Double-click a cell to type a serial number or free-text note for any fixture. Values are saved automatically and persist across sessions. Both fields are included in CSV exports (manual and auto-mirror) for integration with inventory management systems and spreadsheets.

Useful when the printed serial number on a fixture doesn't match the RDM UID — some manufacturers use a separate internal counter for the UID instead of the serial.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the Manufacturer PIDs tab not updating when switching between devices on the same gateway. Previously fetched values from one fixture would remain visible when selecting another fixture with the same manufacturer PIDs. Values are now cached per device and restored correctly when switching.
  • Fixed the Manufacturer PIDs tab losing all previously fetched values when switching to a device on a different gateway. Values are now stored in the device cache and persist across tab rebuilds — no need to repeat GET requests for a device you already queried.
  • Fixed the RDM device tree selection highlight showing mixed colors when focus moves to the inspector tabs. The branch area (left edge of the row) remained blue while the rest of the row turned grey. Both areas now use a consistent grey highlight when the tree loses focus.
  • Fixed clicking on empty space in the RDM device tree not clearing the selection. The inspector tabs continued showing the last selected device even though no device appeared selected in the tree. Clicking on empty space now properly deselects and clears the inspector.
  • Widened the UID, MAC Address, and CID columns in the LLRP target table. The UID column no longer truncates when the identify icon is shown.
  • Improved the LLRP Device Configuration layout — info fields now use a compact grid, the personality table fills available vertical space instead of being capped at a fixed height, and the log panel has more room.
  • Centered the RDM toolbar buttons (RDM ON/OFF, Discover, Force, Identify Off, Remove Lost) instead of pushing them to the right edge.
  • Widened the Access and Type columns in the Manufacturer PIDs table to prevent truncation.
  • Widened the Time and PID columns in the RDM Transaction Log. PID now uses stretch mode to accommodate long names.
  • Widened the Last Seen column in the Fixture Database table to fit the full timestamp.

Platform Availability

Windows

Download and run DMXRouter-Setup.exe. All dependencies included. UAC will prompt for administrator privileges automatically if your account has them — this enables VLAN management without needing to right-click "Run as administrator".

VLAN management requires Windows Pro/Enterprise with Hyper-V enabled.

Linux

Download the binary for your architecture:

  • DMXRouter-v1.7.2-linux-x86_64.zip — standard PCs and servers
  • DMXRouter-v1.7.2-linux-arm64.zip — Raspberry Pi 4/5, Orange Pi, ARM64 boards

Qt6 runtime required:

# Ubuntu / Debian / Raspberry Pi OS
sudo apt install libqt6core6 libqt6gui6 libqt6widgets6 libqt6network6 libqt6websockets6 libqt6openglwidgets6

# Fedora
sudo dnf install qt6-qtbase qt6-qtwebsockets

# Arch
sudo pacman -S qt6-base qt6-websockets

Then: chmod +x DMXRouter && ./DMXRouter

VLAN management requires NetworkManager (sudo apt install network-manager if not present). No need to run as root — the app prompts for your password when needed. VLANs persist across reboots.

macOS

Download the .app bundle (Qt6 frameworks bundled). Requires macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later.

First launch: macOS quarantines apps downloaded from the internet. Double-click install.command (shipped alongside the app) to remove the quarantine and sign it locally — you only need to do this once. Alternatively, run manually in Terminal:

xattr -cr DMXRouter.app
codesign --force --deep --sign - DMXRouter.app

Important: Disable the macOS Application Layer Firewall for reliable real-time DMX operation (System Settings → Network → Firewall → OFF). If you need firewall protection, use PF (pfctl) instead — see the v1.5.6 release notes for details and example rules.

No need to run with sudo — the app prompts for your password when needed. VLANs appear in System Settings → Network and persist across reboots.
