Light is Green v0.6.1-beta.2

This is an experimental prerelease focused on Remote Play connection recovery.
v0.6.0 remains the stable release.

Remote Play resilience

  • Console wake/registration and WebRTC media negotiation now have independent
    retry budgets. A slow Xbox startup no longer consumes the attempts reserved
    for fresh ICE/DTLS sessions.
  • xHome can retry console readiness up to 10 times and rebuild the media path
    up to 8 times before showing a final diagnostic.
  • Fresh media sessions use progressive 8–20 second backoff so Xbox has time to
    release the previous server-side reservation.
  • Remote ICE gathering receives up to 25 seconds, DTLS/SCTP receives up to 25
    seconds after ICE connects, and total xHome negotiation receives up to 75
    seconds per fresh session.
  • Teredo candidates now accept compressed IPv6 notation, retain a usable ICE
    priority after IPv4 conversion, and are checked before the known xHome
    placeholder route. This specifically targets Remote Play outside the LAN.
  • A failed experimental 1080p negotiation switches every remaining attempt to
    stable 720p. A connected 1080p session gets 25 seconds for first video;
    stable 720p gets 60 seconds before another fresh session is requested.
  • The xHome endpoint and credentials refresh after every third transport
    failure, while safely retaining the last route if refresh is unavailable.
  • Retry cleanup now resets peer, handshake, end-of-session, jitter, queued
    video, audio and telemetry state so stale data cannot poison the next route.

Existing beta features

  • Pacing: Steady / Smooth / Motion.
  • Experimental 1080p Xbox Remote Play with automatic 720p fallback.
  • Performance HUD with source, output and generated FPS.
  • Away-from-home Remote Play through Xbox xHome, subject to Remote Features,
    NAT, IPv6/Teredo and UDP connectivity.

Important limitation

More retries cannot create a route that the network permanently blocks. If all
fresh sessions fail, leave the Xbox powered on for a minute, verify Remote
Features, NAT/IPv6 and UDP, then restart Remote Features or the console.
