VDO Cable

VDO Cable is a Windows standalone app for routing multiple application audio sources into separate VDO.Ninja streams. It captures app audio with WASAPI process loopback, gives each route its own websocket + WebRTC publisher, and ships with fixed release asset names for GitHub Pages and releases/latest/download/... links.

Route safety and signaling behavior:

• The UI blocks duplicate local Stream IDs based on the effective published ID, including password/salt hashing behavior.
• Server collision alerts such as streamid-already-published stop the affected route and surface a warning.
• WebSocket pinging is disabled and reconnect attempts use capped backoff to avoid hammering the signaling server.
