Vibeshine 1.15.0-beta.2 — March 21, 2026

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

Highlights

Added NVIDIA NVENC SDK 13 support, which enables split-frame encoding options.
Added the Force Split Frame Encoding option for NVENC HEVC and AV1 streams.
Improved WebRTC shutdown and app-switch handling to avoid capture and display cleanup races.
Reduced capture freezes during secure-desktop and UAC transitions when using Windows Graphics Capture.
Stopped virtual display recovery from retrying indefinitely when Windows never activates a created display.
Smoothed video pacing to reduce bursty delivery on fast host links.

Added runtime NVENC compatibility handling for newer SDK 13 environments while preserving support for older reviewed API levels.
Added Force Split Frame Encoding for NVENC HEVC and AV1 so lower-resolution high-refresh streams can opt into split-frame encoding below NVIDIA's usual automatic threshold.
Improved WebRTC session handling during app launch, resume, and shutdown so display preparation and cleanup stay aligned with active sessions.

Fixed frozen capture when secure-desktop or UAC transitions interrupted Windows Graphics Capture reinitialization.
Fixed bursty video output that could briefly overrun shallow-buffer switches or access points on fast links.
Fixed display lifecycle resets during app launch or resume when a WebRTC desktop session was already active.

Fixed Windows tray notifications appearing as if they came from Explorer instead of Vibeshine on some systems.

Fixed shutdown and app-handoff races that could leave WebRTC capture, display restore, or session cleanup running against a closing process.
Fixed endless virtual display recovery loops when Windows created a virtual display but never fully activated it.

Fixed Windows downgrade installs failing when a newer Vibeshine version was already installed.
