Added continuous checks for a physical mouse while streaming rather than just at the start of streaming. This fix is intended for particular situations on the windows platform when using a KVM switch that changes the cursor from a hardware cursor to a virtual cursor causing windows to not detect a physical cursor while streaming.

Description

Changed the previous physical mouse checking:

// If there is no mouse connected, enable Mouse Keys to force the cursor to appear
if (!GetSystemMetrics(SM_MOUSEPRESENT))...

to it's own function void enable_mouse_keys();. The function is still called at the end of streaming_will_start() and now in video.cpp to continuously check if a physical mouse is present.

When the microphone redirect helpers do has_audio_ctx_ref() followed by
get_audio_ctx_ref(), a release between the two calls would re-trigger
start_audio_control() and attach mic ops to a brand-new isolated audio
context. Add shared_t::try_ref() and audio::try_get_audio_ctx_ref() so
init/release/write_mic_data acquire an existing reference atomically and
never resurrect a stopped context.

* fix(audio): satisfy mic-redirect virtual interface on Linux/macOS
The upstream mic-redirect feature (init_mic_redirect_device,
release_mic_redirect_device, write_mic_data, plus is_sink_available on
macOS) declared four pure-virtual methods on audio_control_t but never
provided overrides in the PulseAudio (Linux) or AVFoundation (macOS)
backends. That left pa::server_t and macos_audio_control_t abstract,
so std::make_unique<...>() in audio_control() failed to compile on
both platforms (only the Windows backend builds today).
Add minimal no-op stubs that return -1 / true / void as appropriate so
the non-Windows targets build again. Mic redirect-to-host stays
unimplemented on those platforms — wire-up can land later without
re-touching every cross-platform site.

Added continuous checks for a physical mouse while streaming rather than just at the start of streaming. This fix is intended for particular situations on the windows platform when using a KVM switch that changes the cursor from a hardware cursor to a virtual cursor causing windows to not detect a physical cursor while streaming.

Description

Changed the previous physical mouse checking:

// If there is no mouse connected, enable Mouse Keys to force the cursor to appear
if (!GetSystemMetrics(SM_MOUSEPRESENT))...

to it's own function void enable_mouse_keys();. The function is still called at the end of streaming_will_start() and now in video.cpp to continuously check if a physical mouse is present.

The upstream mic-redirect feature (init_mic_redirect_device,

Add minimal no-op stubs that return -1 / true / void as appropriate so

unimplemented on those platforms — wire-up can land later without

Added continuous checks for a physical mouse while streaming rather than just at the start of streaming. This fix is intended for particular situations on the windows platform when using a KVM switch that changes the cursor from a hardware cursor to a virtual cursor causing windows to not detect a physical cursor while streaming.

Description

Changed the previous physical mouse checking:

// If there is no mouse connected, enable Mouse Keys to force the cursor to appear
if (!GetSystemMetrics(SM_MOUSEPRESENT))...

to it's own function void enable_mouse_keys();. The function is still called at the end of streaming_will_start() and now in video.cpp to continuously check if a physical mouse is present.

Added continuous checks for a physical mouse while streaming rather than just at the start of streaming. This fix is intended for particular situations on the windows platform when using a KVM switch that changes the cursor from a hardware cursor to a virtual cursor causing windows to not detect a physical cursor while streaming.

Description

Changed the previous physical mouse checking:

// If there is no mouse connected, enable Mouse Keys to force the cursor to appear
if (!GetSystemMetrics(SM_MOUSEPRESENT))...

to it's own function void enable_mouse_keys();. The function is still called at the end of streaming_will_start() and now in video.cpp to continuously check if a physical mouse is present.

* fix: DXGI adapter memory leak (upstream d3af56d, #4340)
* fix: KVM cursor disappearing due to Mouse Keys (upstream fd2bfaa, #4407)
* feat: continuous audio support (upstream fbcf211, #4261)
* fix: clear tray icon when unpairing the last paired client (upstream d6bc76e3d, #4890)
* fix(audio): close TOCTOU between has_audio_ctx_ref and get_audio_ctx_ref
When the microphone redirect helpers do has_audio_ctx_ref() followed by
get_audio_ctx_ref(), a release between the two calls would re-trigger
start_audio_control() and attach mic ops to a brand-new isolated audio
context. Add shared_t::try_ref() and audio::try_get_audio_ctx_ref() so
init/release/write_mic_data acquire an existing reference atomically and
never resurrect a stopped context.

* fix(audio): satisfy mic-redirect virtual interface on Linux/macOS
The upstream mic-redirect feature (init_mic_redirect_device,
release_mic_redirect_device, write_mic_data, plus is_sink_available on
macOS) declared four pure-virtual methods on audio_control_t but never
provided overrides in the PulseAudio (Linux) or AVFoundation (macOS)
backends. That left pa::server_t and macos_audio_control_t abstract,
so std::make_unique<...>() in audio_control() failed to compile on
both platforms (only the Windows backend builds today).
Add minimal no-op stubs that return -1 / true / void as appropriate so
the non-Windows targets build again. Mic redirect-to-host stays
unimplemented on those platforms — wire-up can land later without
re-touching every cross-platform site.
