Vibeshine 1.14.9 — 2026-02-22

Notice: Vibeshine may trigger false-positive antivirus alerts. Details and workarounds are documented here: #59

Highlights

Headless encoder probe no longer fails at startup. Systems with only a virtual display (no physical monitor) now initialize encoders reliably on first boot.
Virtual display driver detection is much more reliable. SudoVDA is now detected by manufacturer and device name instead of a Windows-assigned identifier that could change between reboots.
Upgrading from 1.14.6 no longer removes the web UI. The installer detects that specific version and performs a clean uninstall/reinstall instead of an in-place upgrade that could purge web files.
Touch input no longer clamps to screen edges on Windows. A follow-up to the 1.14.8 offset fix ensures logical scaling values are properly initialized.

Fixed capture frame rate being silently capped when the client advertised a refresh rate lower than the configured maximum FPS.

Fixed encoder validation failing on headless machines because the capture subsystem attempted Desktop Duplication, which is unavailable when no console session is connected.
Added a post-creation readiness check for virtual displays to bridge a timing gap between display configuration and GPU enumeration.
Added a startup retry for encoder probing when no display is immediately available after virtual display creation.

Fixed touch coordinates clamping to edges on Windows when display scaling fields were left uninitialized.

Fixed virtual display driver being unnecessarily reinstalled when version metadata was unavailable, which could momentarily disrupt an active session.
Improved SudoVDA driver detection to use manufacturer and device name matching instead of hardware instance identifiers that Windows can reassign.
Fixed certificate loading during driver installation to work correctly with network and UNC paths.

Added a targeted workaround that uninstalls Vibeshine 1.14.6 before upgrading to prevent the MSI upgrade path from removing web UI files.
