## Problem and outcome / 问题与结果 Sharing could stall at Browser encoder handoff or retain a pause after a video binding was replaced. Source/audio changes could also overlap offer/answer negotiation, while Native recovery could request redundant keyframes. This phase repairs those existing owners, drains capture output during bounded shutdown, and normalizes configured Site origins consistently with Browser serialization. ## Release notes ### 中文 这是一次稳定性更新，重点改善分享中的画面连续性，以及暂停、换源和恢复播放。 - 修复浏览器编码复用中的重复帧率限制和交接等待，减少由这些问题造成的卡顿。 - 修复换源和音频变更时的协商重叠，并防止已关闭连接的异步操作干扰恢复。 - 修复房主暂停期间重连后无法恢复播放，以及编码复用回退后仍停在暂停状态的问题；正常取消播放不再被当作媒体故障。 - 减少原生采集的重复关键帧请求，并修复停止采集时输出未排空导致的退出等待问题。 - 修复部分国际化域名和 IPv6 站点地址的识别，并改善窄屏下分享设置项的文字排版。 升级 Piik App 或自部署 Server 后刷新页面即可，无需修改配置。部分设备和网络环境下报告的开播失败、偶发断流仍需现场日志确认，本次更新不代表所有此类反馈均已解决。 ### English This stability update improves picture continuity and recovery when pausing, changing sources, or resuming playback. - Fix duplicate frame-rate limiting and unnecessary handoff waits in Browser encoding reuse, reducing stalls caused by these issues. - Serialize negotiation across source and audio changes, and prevent asynchronous work on closed connections from interfering with recovery. - Fix playback remaining paused after reconnecting while the Host is paused, or after falling back from shared encoding. Normal playback cancellation is no longer treated as a media failure. - Avoid redundant Native capture keyframe requests and drain pending capture output during bounded shutdown. - Fix recognition of some internationalized domain names and IPv6 Site addresses, and improve sharing-setting labels on narrow screens. Update Piik App or your self-hosted Server, then refresh the page. No configuration changes are required. Some device- and network-specific reports of sharing startup failure or intermittent stream loss still need matching diagnostics; this update does not claim to resolve every reported case. ## Verification / 验证 - `npm run check`: 76 test files / 1,152 tests, TypeScript and production Web build passed. - Real Chrome VP8/H264 checks with two viewers passed live/paused profile changes, quiet-source recovery, source replacement and ordinary-sender fallback after producer failure. - New pause-owner regressions fail against the previous implementation; actual Viewer effects preserve same-binding local pause and resume replacement bindings. - Independent cumulative Browser and Native/config review found no confirmed release blocker. - `npm run check:go`: formatting, Go tests/vet, Windows/Linux builds and Windows native capture compile/probes passed. Darwin packaging and Go race detection run on the native CI runners. - Windows App H264 and VP8 Host gates passed decoded playback, live/paused quality changes, quiet/background-source recovery, source replacement, failure cleanup and subsequent sharing; experiment-owned processes, ports and profiles were cleaned up. - Documentation, repository hygiene and release-note extraction passed. ## Impact / 影响 Patch release v1.6.7. Browser/server v23, Native control v9, capture v7 and SQLite schema 2 remain unchanged. Existing WebRTC adaptation and route policy remain unchanged; no quality floor is introduced. Interaction and Windows x86 prototypes are excluded. Managed Server restart interrupts active media and preserves room authority. Physical macOS/Linux capture, broad public-network endurance and unmatched reporter environments remain outside local acceptance.

Piik is a free, open-source screen sharing tool for games, movie nights, drawings and photos. Choose what to share and send an invitation. Your friends watch in their browsers.

Features · Get started · Self-hosting · Contributing
Features
- Watch without installing. Friends join by invitation in a desktop or mobile browser.
- Share from Piik App or an existing Piik site. Choose a screen, window, browser tab or camera; available sources and audio depend on the platform.
- Direct connections first. Media travels between participants where possible (P2P). A self-hosted server can provide automatic media forwarding (SFU) as a fallback.
- Rooms you control. Invitations, room codes and optional room passwords, for one host and up to 20 viewers.
- Flexible viewing. Light and dark themes, playback controls, picture-in-picture and a connection topology view.
- One program to host a site. Web UI, room management and optional media forwarding are packaged together.

Get started
To watch: open the invitation your friend sends you. Select Play if the picture does not start automatically.
To share: download Piik App to get started. To share without installing, you can also create a room in the online version.
| Start here | What you need to do |
|---|---|
| Use Piik online | Share from a desktop browser, or choose Camera on a phone with browser camera support. |
| Download Piik App | Extract and open the App, choose Public invite, then Open Piik to create a temporary room. |
| Host your own site | Advanced: deploy Piik Server on a Linux x64 server with your own domain, then connect through Piik App or a browser. |
- Select Start sharing, then choose the picture and audio to share.
- Select Copy invite link and send it to your friends. Keep the sharing tab open.
Turn on the Microphone for commentary; its settings let you choose the input device and adjust your voice volume.
Piik follows your system language: Chinese or English, with English as the fallback. Use 中 / EN / ✦ in the header to switch language or try the visual mode. The App offers a local room, a temporary public link, or a connection to your own site. Keep the App running while sharing through it.
Download a ZIP beginning with piik-app. The filename also identifies the platform:

Browser capture requires HTTPS or localhost. Windows App and desktop browser
sharing are the primary tested paths. The macOS and Linux apps have not yet been
tested on physical devices; test results and feedback are welcome.
P2P-only modes, including the App's temporary public
link and the online version, may not connect on restrictive networks.
Self-hosting
Piik Server is a standalone binary with the web interface built in.
Download the Linux x64 Server package (piik-<revision>-runtime.tar.gz),
extract it, and run:
./piik-server
Open http://localhost:8787 to try it locally. For a public site, configure your
domain, HTTPS reverse proxy and STUN address. Room data is stored in SQLite.
For containers, use the Docker Compose setup.
