This page mirrors the versions and notes shown in the StreamerPro Updates window. It tracks streaming, installation, licensing, recording, maintenance and stability changes.

Version 3.54

Version 3.54

  • StreamerPro moved to version 3.54.
  • Re-enabled PC restart scheduling through the explicit StreamerProDailyRestart scheduled task.
  • Re-enabled ZowieBox reboot scheduling through the explicit StreamerProZowieBoxReboot scheduled task.

  • Re-enabled StreamerPro startup with Windows through a Startup Apps folder shortcut, without using the Run registry key.
  • Autologon64.exe and plink.exe are now bundled in a separate tools folder, like the players, instead of being placed at the application root.
  • The autonomous silent update remains removed: StreamerPro updating stays manual and visible to limit Windows Defender alerts.
  • Re-enabled ZowieBox ON/OFF and manual ZowieBox reboot with plink from the tools folder.
  • Self-check now detects plink from tools and reports that the ZowieBox script is generated on demand.
  • Added multilingual logs for Windows Auto Start, PC Restart and ZowieBox reboot.
  • Updated packaging tests to ensure sensitive tools are no longer bundled directly at the build root.
Version 3.53

Version 3.53

  • Security release 3.53.
  • Removed the remaining autonomous update traces from the application.
  • StreamerPro updating stays manual, visible, and confirmed by the user.

Version 3.50

Version 3.50

  • StreamerPro moved to version 3.50.
  • Forced saving of the NAS address into streamerpro_state.json when validating or disabling NAS, so it survives restart, update or reinstall.

Version 3.40

Version 3.40

  • StreamerPro moved to version 3.40.
  • Fixed Streaming window maximization so it can occupy the full screen.
  • UHD fixes and visual harmonization for several maintenance, streaming and control windows/buttons.
Version 3.30

Version 3.30

  • StreamerPro moved to version 3.30.
  • Updates now preserve user settings better in the same folder as the license: general state, logos, encoder, scenes and chat clients/tokens.
  • After reinstall/update, Auto Start, Restart PC and ZowieBox can be automatically reapplied if the installer removed the Windows Run entry or scheduled tasks.
  • Kiosk 24/7 mode remains saved in StreamerPro state and is reapplied on restart when the license is active.

  • The Streaming audio guide is now a real resizable window with Install VoiceMeeter, Install VB-CABLE, Restart PC, Windows sound and Close buttons.
  • Installer fix: the Tcl/Tk runtime data required by Tkinter is explicitly installed and checked during build to prevent the missing _tcl_data crash.
  • Added tests to verify Windows integration restoration after update.
Version 3.20

Version 3.20

  • StreamerPro moved to version 3.20.
  • Added Profile Lock mode in the About window: Streaming profile settings are protected against accidental changes.
  • Profile Lock blocks machine profile, YouTube profile, Streaming profile, codec, resolution, bitrate, FPS and keyframe interval while keeping live, playback and recording usable.
