KVMD 3.159: Significant VNC improvement
The VNC server has learned how to transmit video asynchronously to make it fast and smooth. Now, FPS can grow about twice, it will be especially noticeable with poor internet quality.

Several latest releases of KVMD come with improved support for web UI running on tablets.
Now you can upload the flash drive image to MSD, write some files to it, or even install entire OS to the PiKVM MSD drive (I don't know why, but you can), and download the image back. Use the new feature wisely.
We want to change some default values in the EDID (information about the virtual display) so that it looks not like Toshiba-H2C
, but like PiKVM
, and also change the vendor code.
Usually Let's Encrypt certificates are issued and updated automatically using Certbot, however, since PiKVM uses a read-only file system, special tools around Certbot are required to work with certificates.
kvmd-edidconf
For the happy owners of V2 and V3, we now offer a new utility, kvmd-edidconf
. It will help you configure EDID (the display metadata) and provide import/export for EDID modification using advanced editors such as AW EDID Editor.
This moment has come! We are finally ready to provide audio for testing by all V3 users.
A “Pre-Assembled” version of PiKVM has just been released!
First of all, although the release is experimental, it is NOT unstable. The new utility does not affect the performance of the system in any way if you do not use.
A few months ago, due to the release of Bullseye, the usual video encoding method used in PiKVM stopped working in the new kernel. OpenMAX and MMAL were deprecated and uStreamer has ben rewrited to use new M2M encoder. Now the work is almost completed and everything seems to be working fine.
