This major update introduces high-performance WebRTC streaming. You can now access your desktop through a browser with expanded controller support and better color depth.
New Features
- WebRTC Browser Streaming: You can stream your Windows desktop directly to any modern browser by visiting /webrtc. This feature includes an app gallery, cover art, HDR support, gamepad compatibility, and gyro controls. Performance note: WebRTC is designed for flexibility across different devices. Due to browser limitations, it is not intended to be as smooth as the native Moonlight client.
- Snapshot Restore Hotkey: This hotkey can be configured in Step 2 of the Audio/Video settings. It allows you to instantly reset your display topology and force virtual displays off if your machine gets stuck on a virtual monitor.
Performance and Reliability
- Reduced System Lag: We optimized the internal capture-to-encode pipeline and added new D3D11 NV12 conversion flows. These changes lower system overhead and provide a snappier streaming experience.
- Resilient Display Handling: Windows display management is now much tougher. Vibeshine can recover from temporary display failures or topology blips without crashing the session.
Fixed Issues
- Launch Speed Fix: We eliminated a timing bug that caused significant delays and hanging when first starting a stream.
- Refresh Rate Priority: We resolved an issue where manual refresh rate settings were ignored. Manual selections now correctly take priority even when the double refresh setting is active.
- Fail-Safe Screen Capture: Capture reliability is improved by adding an automatic DXGI fallback method. This ensures the stream continues if the primary Windows Graphics Capture fails.
- Virtual Display Stability: We fixed several edge cases that caused virtual displays to fail during recovery. This specifically improves stability for self-hosted virtual display setups.
- General Polish: This version resolves various issues with mouse input, fullscreen interactions, and interface navigation.
