OpenStream v2.1.0-beta

OpenStream V2.1 Beta

OpenStream V2.1 makes the Android-to-OBS workflow faster, clearer, and safer to upgrade. It includes the native OBS control dock, smooth real-time zoom, lower-latency media handling, stronger reconnect behavior, streamlined source naming, and direct install downloads for both platforms.

What's New

Area	Update
OBS controls	The dock keeps connection, lens, torch, identify, and zoom controls beside the preview. Zoom responds continuously while the slider moves.
Streaming	Bounded queues, stale-frame dropping, tuned SRT behavior, and asynchronous Android sends reduce avoidable buffering.
Connectivity	Faster failure detection, clearer slot pairing, and reservation-aware reconnects make recovery more predictable.
Upgrade path	Existing scene sources keep loading through compatibility source IDs, while the installer removes known stale plugin copies.
Product polish	OBS now displays the product as OpenStream, with aligned setup, release, and update documentation.

Downloads

File	Use
openstream-android.apk	Install this on your Android phone.
openstream-android.apk.sha256	Verify the downloaded APK before installation.
openstream-obs-plugin-installer-windows-x64.exe	Recommended Windows installer for the OBS plugin.
openstream-obs-windows-x64.zip	Manual plugin package with DLL and install scripts.

Note

The Android APK is release-signed and includes SHA-256 metadata. Public releases fail instead of publishing a debug-signed fallback when signing inputs are unavailable.

Install

1. Install the APK on your Android phone.
2. Run the OBS plugin installer on your Windows OBS PC.
3. Restart OBS Studio.
4. Add an OpenStream source.
5. Open the Android app on the same Wi-Fi network and tap the discovered OBS slot.

For the screenshot walkthrough, read docs/set-up.md.

Notes

• Windows OBS plugin only.
• Existing user-assigned source names are preserved during upgrades and can be renamed normally in OBS.
• Use 5 GHz or Wi-Fi 6 for best results.
• Keep both devices on the same subnet.
• This is still beta software; please report issues on GitHub.
