Light is Green v0.6.1-beta.1

This is an experimental prerelease. v0.6.0 remains the stable release.

Highlights

  • Pacing: Steady / Smooth / Motion
    • Steady keeps the lowest-latency latest-frame behavior.
    • Smooth holds one decoded frame in reserve to absorb network jitter.
    • Motion adds a 50/50 GPU midpoint between consecutive frames when a 30 fps
      source cadence is detected, producing a 60 Hz presentation sequence.
  • Experimental 1080p Xbox Remote Play
    • Requests 1920x1080, H.264 level 4.2 and a conservative 20 Mbps profile.
    • If the session connects but produces no video for 15 seconds, Light is
      Green discards it and retries automatically with stable 720p capabilities.
  • Expanded performance HUD with source FPS, display-output FPS and Motion
    generated FPS.
  • Away-from-home diagnostics now point to Xbox Remote Features, NAT,
    IPv6/Teredo and UDP when no viable xHome route is found.

Important limitations

  • Motion is simple cross-frame blending. It does not estimate motion vectors,
    reconstruct occluded detail or provide DLSS/FSR-style optical-flow frame
    generation. Fast camera movement can show double images.
  • Xbox controls the final Remote Play allocation. Announcing 1080p capability
    does not guarantee that every console, account or network will receive it.
  • Remote Play outside the home is supported by the existing Xbox xHome route,
    but depends on the console's Remote Features configuration and network path.
  • Logs are useful for diagnosis but may contain IP candidates. Do not attach
    stream-log.txt to a public issue without reviewing and redacting it.

Compatibility and rollback

  • Existing v0.6 smooth settings migrate to the new pacing setting.
  • The legacy smooth key is still written so returning to v0.6 keeps a safe
    pacing choice.
  • The default remains Steady pacing and stable 720p console Remote Play.
