Openlive Android app 0.1.7 (beta)

Beta. Openlive for Android 0.1.7.

What is in it

• Switches (for example "Sons de aviso", the notification sounds) are drawn in the theme colors
  instead of the system's teal thumb.
• The update banner shows the download size in the same decimal MB as GitHub (73.2 MB).

Install

1. Download openlive-0.1.7-android.apk on the phone (or send it there).
2. Open it. Android asks to allow installing apps from that source (Settings, Apps, Special access,
   Install unknown apps): allow it for the app you opened the file from.
3. Google Play Protect may warn that the app is from an unknown developer: choose "Install anyway".
4. Open Openlive and add your server with the invite link its admin gave you.

Updates install over the old version (same signing key) and keep your data.

Openlive Android app 0.1.6 (beta)

Beta. Openlive for Android 0.1.6.

What is in it

• Theme: light, dark or system, with the same five color palettes as the web (Olive, Blue, Violet,
  Rose, Graphite); the interface is restyled like the web.
• Space management: rooms, members, invites, join requests, status and settings, and creating
  fixed and quick rooms. You can also create a space.
• Join a room by code, room link or invite. The room menu shares the code and link and manages
  features, access, archive or end.
• Settings has sessions, devices and notification toggles.
• The servers screen shows a banner when a newer Android version is published on the server you
  use; it opens the APK of the official release.

openlive-helper 0.1.4

Linux: the tarball (NVIDIA: NVENC through the system GStreamer) and the Flatpak bundle. See helper/README.md, "Install on Linux".

Openlive Android app 0.1.5 (beta)

Beta. Openlive for Android 0.1.5.

What is in it

• The microphone works again: the 0.1.4 APK did not declare the microphone permission (a photo
  picker setting removed it), so voice said it had no access without ever asking. The release
  build now refuses an APK that lacks the permissions the app needs.

Install

1. Download openlive-0.1.5-android.apk on the phone (or send it there).
2. Open it. Android asks to allow installing apps from that source (Settings, Apps, Special access,
   Install unknown apps): allow it for the app you opened the file from.

Openlive Android app 0.1.4 (beta)

Do not install this version: its APK lacks the microphone permission, so voice does not work. Use android-v0.1.5, which installs over it.

Beta. Openlive for Android 0.1.4.

What is in it

• The Android app is out as a beta, installed by sideloading the APK from the GitHub Releases
  (android-v0.1.4); it is not on the Play Store. Android 7 or later, arm64 and armv7.
• Add servers by address, QR code or invite link, and keep several; sign in through the system
  browser.
• Spaces, rooms and text chat with mentions, edit and delete; the live streams of a room with
  quality, queue and landscape full screen.
• Voice with photos and cameras, push-to-talk, per-person volume and moderation; voice keeps
  running in the background with the screen locked, from a notification with Mute and Leave.
• Sound cues, toasts and a summary of what happened while you were away.
• Profile (name, photo) and personal settings.

Openlive helper 0.1.3

Helper fixes.

• Video no longer drifts seconds behind the audio. Frames were stamped with the nominal frame time, so a still screen, a Wayland capture that only sends changed frames, or resizing the shared window slowed the video clock down and viewers' jitter buffers grew up to ~10 s. Video timestamps now follow real time on Linux and macOS.
• The helper announces the protocol it really speaks (1.20, it said 1.12). The web no longer calls it outdated, and the voice sink and the Go live "Allow visual clicks" switch show up.

Files: openlive-helper-0.1.3-linux-amd64.tar.gz and openlive-helper-0.1.3.flatpak (Linux, built by the release-helper workflow from this tag), openlive-helper-0.1.3-macos.dmg (macOS 13+, Developer ID, notarized and stapled), SHA256SUMS.

Self-hosting: pnpm run helper:publish -- --env production --from-release 0.1.3.

Openlive helper 0.1.2

The helper that captures and streams your screen to an Openlive instance.

• Linux (Wayland; KDE Plasma tested): openlive-helper-0.1.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz (./install.sh into ~/.local, uses the system's GStreamer; NVENC, VA-API or x264) or the Flatpak bundle openlive-helper-0.1.2.flatpak. Built by the release-helper workflow from this tag.
• macOS 13 or later: openlive-helper-0.1.2-macos.dmg, signed with a Developer ID, notarized and stapled.
• SHA256SUMS covers every file.

Self-hosting? Publish this release to your instance with pnpm run helper:publish -- --env production --from-release 0.1.2 (docs/self-host.md, section 6). Changes: CHANGELOG.md.
