Release vv1.5.7

GeForce Infinity v1.5.7

Highlights

• Fresh sidebar toggle implementation using Electron's before-input-event API
• Startup codec verification logging for debugging
• Comprehensive platform requirements documentation

Technical Implementation

Sidebar Toggle (Fresh Research-Based Approach)

Previous versions (v1.5.1-v1.5.6) attempted various approaches that all failed:

• globalShortcut: Stole shortcuts from other applications
• executeJavaScript + CustomEvent: Security restrictions with contextIsolation
• contextBridge callbacks: Unreliable with React state management

v1.5.7 Solution: Uses Electron's built-in before-input-event API which:

• Intercepts keyboard events at main process level BEFORE reaching any renderer
• Works correctly even when focus is on iframe content (GeForce NOW game sessions)
• Does not steal shortcuts from other applications
• Compatible with contextIsolation:true and sandbox:true

Codec Verification Logging

On application startup, logs:

• Platform information (Electron, Chrome, Node versions)
• GPU feature status (video decode, GPU compositing)
• Expected codec support (AV1, HEVC, VP9, H.264)
• GPU device information
