Changelog v1.6.0
New Features
Smart Silence Detection
- Bandwidth Saver: Automatically stops sending audio packets when RMS volume drops below the threshold, saving network bandwidth.
- Deep Sleep Mode: Automatically disconnects the TCP stream if silence persists for a configurable duration (default: disabled/0).
- Auto-Resume: Instantly reconnects and resumes streaming when audio activity is detected.
Connection Reliability
- Write Timeout: Added a 5-second write timeout to the TCP socket. This ensures the application quickly detects dead connections (e.g., during computer sleep/wake or network drops) instead of hanging indefinitely.
- Graceful Shutdown: Intercepted application exit events to ensure the TCP connection is closed properly (sending a FIN packet) before the process terminates, preventing “zombie” connections on the server.
Smart Defaults
- Silence Timeout: Set to 0 (Disabled) by default to prevent unexpected disconnections for new users.
Improvements
- Resource Management: Reduced CPU usage during silence by skipping packet creation.
- Server Health: Significantly reduced the likelihood of
FIN-WAITor stuck connections on the Snapserver side.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the application would hang if the network disconnected while streaming.
- Fixed an issue where closing the app would leave the server connection open until it timed out.
The silence timeout is disabled by default (set to 0) to prevent unexpected disconnections for new users. You can configure it in the settings if you want to enable automatic disconnection during silence periods.
