1.12 - Poor man's "Clarity Boost"

🥳 Better xCloud is now 1-month old. Thank you for using and supporting the project 🎉

BIG FEATURE!!!

• Add the "Video clarity" feature to improve the visual of the stream (similar to, but not as good as the original "Clarity Boost") (#93).
  • Demo video: https://youtu.be/ZhW2choAHUs.
  • Affects the stream's performance, uses more battery, and may causes frames to drop (especially on lower-end devices).
  • Works with Chrome/Chromium browsers.
  • Doesn't work with Safari.

Tested on Logitech G Cloud with 1080p + high-quality codec, no frames dropped.
