## 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.

Run from source
You can try the Browser application locally with Node from .node-version, npm from package.json, and Go 1.26 from go.mod. Run these commands from the repository root.
Start the web UI:
npm ci
npm run dev
In a second terminal, start the server. For a POSIX shell:
PORT=8788 PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8787 go run ./cmd/piik-server
Or in PowerShell:
$env:PORT = '8788'
$env:PUBLIC_BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:8787'
go build -o build/dev/piik-server.exe ./cmd/piik-server
./build/dev/piik-server.exe
The fixed Windows executable path avoids repeated firewall prompts from go run.
Open localhost:8787, start sharing, and open the invitation
in another browser tab to try watching. This localhost invitation stays on your
computer; remote invitations need a reachable origin as described in
configuration.
Browser capture requires localhost or HTTPS.
For the self-contained App, follow App development and packaging, including the platform's native capture requirements.
Work on Piik
