What's New in Dirigo
2.5.6
September 26, 2026
Commands from your iPhone now reach your receiver once — never twice. • When your receiver took a command but was slow to answer, Dirigo could end up sending it again. One press of volume up could raise the volume by two or three steps, and a late copy of a setting could undo a newer one. Each press and each setting change — from the iPhone app, its widgets and your Shortcuts — is now sent once. • If Dirigo can't tell whether a command arrived, it no longer quietly tries again. It tells you "Not Confirmed" so you can check before pressing again, and Retry is there if you want it. • Pausing music on the remote no longer risks starting it playing instead when the receiver is slow to reply. • If the receiver never answered a music command, browsing and playback controls could get stuck waiting for it. They now give up on that command after ten seconds and carry on.
