Complexity due to the size of the systems? City of Dallas is NOT an enterprise environment. Not SMB, but c'mon. It's just a city system, if there is complexity, it's from incompetence.

They probably got hit with the "Tom sent you a DocuSign document to review" spam. . .

Guaranteed it was something like that. Nobody goes around accusing city officials of being very bright.

Unifi 5.6.30 has been released
https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Updates-Blog/UniFi-5-6-30-Stable-has-been-released/ba-p/2220761

Been a week and it has not hit the repos yet.

I thought it was supposed to be a week from blog post before the repos updated.

edit: Yes it is supposed ot be a week. https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Wireless/Notes-on-UniFi-releases-Stable-Candidate-Stable-repos-download/m-p/1800676#M203780

I found this:
https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/220066768-UniFi-How-to-Install-Update-via-APT-on-Debian-or-Ubuntu

@dbeato From their forums, it looks like 5.6.30 may not have been all that stable after all. Could be why they haven't pushed it to the repo yet is they don't find it stable enough after initial release. They've already got a Stable Candidate for 5.6.31 which seems to address some issues (I'm not signed up for beta so I can't see them myself). May be best just to not worry about this one and wait for the next stable.

I am not worried but it makes sense.

This says it now supports BluRay, is that right?
Access: Blu-Ray open ISO over network, support for BD-J, and DVD ISO over network.
Also wondering what custmizations people use for their VLC configs. Skins or plugins to use.
