New Features in Version 4.0
2022-01-19Our non-profit has released a free update of our popular video player app that includes renewed support for the latest widevine dependent services (like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime etc...) and supports several new features. Most notably, the player window can now be easily resized in a corner of the screen: This feature still supports full opacity control. We have upgraded dependencies to support the latest versions of chromium and electron so streaming services continue to work smoothly. We have also enabled hardware acceleration that should help performance, especially on legacy devices. A number of small bugs have been addressed, like one where some keystrokes were being captured in the background and preventing default behavior, as well as some memory leaks.

Finally, the app now supports apple silicon, although because of the way widevine requires signing apps, it can not be built universally. We are reaching out to steam to determine whether there is a way to upload a separate arm build for apple silicon, but in the meantime, the ARM build can be downloaded on out non-profit's website here. Chameleon continues to be free and open source through our tech and education non-profit, and we rely on the generosity of donors to keep these projects going. You can donate to our charity here. Any small amount will also entitle you to skip the timed pop-up at the beginning of the app. I'd like to thank everyone for their support of this app and all our non-profit's projects, it's so wonderful to share these creations with you. ːsteamhappyː
