This second beta release focuses primarily on performance, significantly reducing audio latency, and introduces a few Quality of Life (QoL) improvements to provide a smoother user experience.
Performance & Under the Hood
- Latency Reduction: Reworked the audio buffer logic and hardware initialization. Structural delay has been minimized, providing a much closer near-real-time streaming experience over standard Wi-Fi.
- UI Polish: Smoother animations, improved haptic feedback, and a refined Material 3 Expressive design.
What's New
- Server Volume Control: You can now adjust the transmission volume directly from the UI slider or by using your device's physical volume buttons while streaming.
- Manual IP Connection: Added the ability to manually enter a Server IP address to bypass network discovery issues, which is particularly useful if your router blocks Multicast/mDNS packets.
Installation
- Download the
.apkfile from the Assets section below. - Enable installation from unknown sources if prompted by the system.
- Install the package and grant the required permissions on first launch (Audio, Notifications).
Known Limitations (Beta)
- macOS Compatibility: Currently, audio capture and overall connection stability on macOS are very poor and require significant rework.
- Network Sensitivity: Due to the new low-latency buffers, congested Wi-Fi networks or weak signals might cause occasional audio "clicks" or drops.
- Internal audio capture compatibility may vary across custom Android ROMs.
- Higher than average battery consumption during active streaming.
Feedback & Issues
As this is still a beta, there is always room for improvement. Whether you want to report a bug, request a feature, or share technical advice on how to better handle audio streams and networking, your input in the Issues section of the repository is highly appreciated.
