A private Tailscale peer relay you run yourself. deploy/relay/ is a
Docker kit for a VPS (UDP 40000, iptables above the cloud REJECT, state
volume, wait-for-Running before tailscale set). Tailscale's own DERP
stays the fallback; Latch adds no relay protocol of its own. Settings
shows a Relay card with the exact state: no relay on this network, a
relay that this device is not granted, or ready. Needs Tailscale 1.86 or
later on every device.
Streams tell a peer relay apart from DERP. Auto quality on a peer relay
goes up to 1440p60 at 40 Mbps by round trip; the DERP and direct tiers are
unchanged. Tagged relay nodes never appear in the PC list.
The Windows streaming engine now unpacks from the pinned lite archive to C:\Program Files\Latch\engine as the "Latch Streaming" service:
no Apps & Features entry, Start Menu shortcut, tray icon or web-UI link.
Firewall rules are named "Latch". An engine installed earlier by an
MSI is migrated in order — copy state, verify, start, prove it listens,
then uninstall the MSI — and keeps its pairing and web login; a config.bak is left beside it and the old install folder is removed
once the MSI is gone. The engine's processes appear as "Latch
Streaming" with Latch's icon in Task Manager, the volume mixer and
firewall prompts: setup rewrites their version block and icon in place
and keeps their copyright and licence strings. The host offers Update this PC after
an exe-only update and refuses a self-update while a stream is running.
A PC whose engine certificate changed asks to pair again instead of a
generic TLS error, and the old pin is forgotten.
No user-visible mention of upstream project names or ports; Open
source in Settings shows the notices.
Nothing overlaps at the smallest window (640×420 on the Mac, 560×600 on
the PC): the stream toolbar folds into a More menu, overlays shrink to the
window, and CPU-only layout tests enforce it.
New logo and palette (violet, pink and cyan on near-black) across the
Dock, Finder, Windows and in-window icons.
A connected stream that remains black now says so and asks the PC why,
instead of presenting a healthy-looking stream. Missing video, frozen
video, and decoder failures have separate persistent notices.
The notice offers Restart stream, which starts a fresh Desktop capture
instead of resuming the same broken capture. Failure to stop Sunshine's
previous session is reported instead of silently resuming the wrong app.
Frame rate and bitrate no longer remain frozen at their last good values
when video stops. Stream overlays no longer pass clicks through to the PC.
The stream's audio line says when the output device is taking no sound,
instead of naming a device that is silent.
VideoToolbox callback errors now request a recovery frame and recreate
failed decoder sessions, just like synchronous decode errors.
The PC's display report now answers why a capture is black: whether any
monitor hardware is present, whether the session is locked, how bright the
PC's own desktop is (as sampled numbers, never an image), which colour
mode Windows is composing in, and Sunshine's capture settings and log
tail. Each part reports its own failure rather than losing the whole
report.
A PC whose monitor is gone keeps composing in the colour mode that
monitor asked for — half-float, ten bits a channel — on a placeholder
display that reports no luminance at all. A capture converting that to an
ordinary picture turns every frame black while the PC's own desktop draws
normally. The stream's notice now says so, in place of blaming a missing
display for a desktop that is plainly there.
Where that mode is one the display supports, the notice offers to turn it
off and the Mac does so over the control API, then starts a fresh
capture. Windows 11 splits that switch into HDR and wide colour, so each
is tried in turn and the display is read back afterwards rather than the
return code believed.
Where Windows is enforcing the mode on a placeholder display it refuses
every switch with ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED — the mode is a consequence of
having no display, not a setting. The notice says that plainly and asks
for a monitor, a dummy plug or a virtual display driver instead of
offering a button that cannot work.
The live video test now checks for a visible picture, with a separate
mode that verifies the black-picture notice and restart action. Synthetic
video tests cover the Mac decoder and GPU renderer.
