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

  1. Download the .apk file from the Assets section below.
  2. Enable installation from unknown sources if prompted by the system.
  3. 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.
