## Description Screen capture in Stage Tamagotchi is denied before it ever reaches the desktop picker: `navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia()` resolves with `NotAllowedError: Permission denied`, so the vision screen-capture panel can list sources but never start a stream. The cause is in `shouldGrantElectronPermission`. Electron reports **screen capture as the `media` permission**, not as `display-capture`, and it only appends `audio`/`video` to `details.mediaTypes` for *device* capture — so a `getDisplayMedia()` request arrives as `media` with an **empty** `mediaTypes` list ([`web_contents_permission_helper.cc#L249-L274`](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/v41.2.1/shell/browser/web_contents_permission_helper.cc#L249-L274)). The handler took an early return for every `media` operation and required audio-only details, so display capture was rejected before the allowlisted `display-capture` entry could be consulted: ```ts if (permission === 'media') return shouldGrantAudioCapturePermission(webContents, permission, requestingOrigin, details) return LOCAL_APP_PERMISSION_NAMES.has(permission) && shouldGrantLocalAppPermission(...) ``` The fix resolves a `media` operation that declares no device media type back to `display-capture`, so the existing allowlist and local-frame checks decide the outcome — which is what `LOCAL_APP_PERMISSION_NAMES` already intended: ```ts const allowlistPermission = isDisplayCaptureMediaPermission(permission, details) ? 'display-capture' : permission return LOCAL_APP_PERMISSION_NAMES.has(allowlistPermission) && shouldGrantLocalAppPermission(webContents, requestingOrigin, details) ``` Camera and microphone operations always report their device media type (`['video']`, `['audio']`, `mediaType: 'audio'`), so they never take this path and stay exactly as strict as before. Remote frames are still rejected, because the local-frame check is unchanged and still applies to display capture. Three regression tests are added: screen capture from a local page is granted, screen capture from a remote page is rejected, and a camera request is still denied now that it shares the `media` permission. ## Linked Issues Closes #2177 ## Additional Context - **Regression range.** This was introduced by #2002 (`5e8bf75`, 2026-07-10), which added the permission allowlist. Nothing on the failing path is platform-specific — the `media` vs `display-capture` mismatch is in Electron's browser process — so although the issue was reported on Windows, screen capture has been broken on macOS and Linux since that commit too. Worth noting for anyone triaging similar reports. - **Detection signal.** The predicate keys on `mediaTypes.length === 0` rather than on the absence of the field, so a `media` operation with *no* `mediaTypes` at all (e.g. permission *checks*, which send `mediaType: 'unknown'` instead) is not silently promoted to display capture. That keeps the change to exactly the shape Electron documents for `getDisplayMedia()` requests. - **Deliberately out of scope.** #2104 (camera snapshot denied) is a policy decision — whether the camera should join the allowlist — not this bug, and #2132 (`systemPreferences.getMediaAccessStatus` undefined on Linux) is unrelated. Happy to follow up on either if you'd like them addressed. - **Second layer still applies.** `setDisplayMediaRequestHandler` in `packages/electron-screen-capture` is only installed inside the `setSource` mutex window, so a grant here still requires the renderer to have selected a source first. This change does not widen that. - **Verification.** `media-permissions.test.ts` goes 16/16 → 19/19; with only the tests applied, the new local-screen-capture case fails as expected. Type checking and the repo ESLint config both pass clean on the two touched files. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: autofix-ci[bot] <114827586+autofix-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
Project AIRI
Re-creating Neuro-sama, a soul container of AI waifu / virtual characters to bring them into our world.
[Join Discord Server] [Try it] [简体中文] [日本語] [Русский] [Tiếng Việt] [Français] [한국어]
Heavily inspired by Neuro-sama
Tip
On Windows, you can also install AIRI with winget:
winget install MoeruAI.AIRIOr install AIRI with Scoop:
scoop bucket add airi https://github.com/moeru-ai/airi scoop install airi/airiOn macOS, you can install AIRI with Homebrew Cask without adding a custom tap:
brew install --cask airi
Warning
Attention: We do not have any officially minted cryptocurrency or token associated with this project. Please check the information and proceed with caution.
Note
We've got a whole dedicated organization @proj-airi for all the sub-projects born from Project AIRI. Check it out!
RAG, memory system, embedded database, icons, Live2D utilities, and more!
Tip
We have a translation project on Crowdin. If you find any inaccurate translations, feel free to contribute improvements there.
Have you dreamed about having a cyber living being (cyber waifu, digital pet) or digital companion that could play with and talk to you?
With the power of modern large language models like ChatGPT and famous Claude, asking a virtual being to roleplay and chat with us is already easy enough for everyone. Platforms like Character.ai (a.k.a. c.ai) and JanitorAI as well as local playgrounds like SillyTavern are already good-enough solutions for a chat based or visual adventure game like experience.
But, what about the abilities to play games? And see what you are coding at? Chatting while playing games, watching videos, and is capable of doing many other things.
Perhaps you know Neuro-sama already. She is currently the best virtual streamer capable of playing games, chatting, and interacting with you and the participants. Some also call this kind of being "digital human." Sadly, as it's not open sourced, you cannot interact with her after her live streams go offline.
Therefore, this project, AIRI, offers another possibility here: let you own your digital life, cyber living, easily, anywhere, anytime.

What's So Special About This Project?
Unlike the other AI driven VTuber open source projects, アイリ was built with support of many Web technologies such as WebGPU, WebAudio, Web Workers, WebAssembly, WebSocket, etc. from the first day.
Tip
Worrying about the performance drop since we are using Web related technologies?
Don't worry, while the Web browser version is meant to give an insight into how much we can push and do inside browsers and webviews, we will never fully rely on this. The desktop version of AIRI is capable of using native NVIDIA CUDA and Apple Metal by default (thanks to HuggingFace & the beloved candle project), without any complex dependency management. Considering the tradeoff, it is partially powered by Web technologies for graphics, layouts, animations, and the WIP plugin system for everyone to integrate things.
This means that アイリ is capable of running on modern browsers and devices and even on mobile devices (already done with PWA support). This brings a lot of possibilities for us (the developers) to build and extend the power of アイリ VTuber to the next level, while still leaving the flexibility for users to enable features that require TCP connections or other non-Web technologies such as connecting to a Discord voice channel or playing Minecraft and Factorio with friends.
Note
We are still in the early stage of development where we are seeking out talented developers to join us and help us to make アイリ a reality.
It's ok if you are not familiar with Vue.js, TypeScript, and devtools required for this project, you can join us as an artist, designer, or even help us to launch our first live stream.
Even if you are a big fan of React, Svelte or even Solid, we welcome you. You can open a sub-directory to add features that you want to see in アイリ, or would like to experiment with.
Fields (and related projects) that we are looking for:
- Live2D modeller
- VRM modeller
- VRChat avatar designer
- Computer Vision
- Reinforcement Learning
- Speech Recognition
- Speech Synthesis
- ONNX Runtime
- Transformers.js
- vLLM
- WebGPU
- Three.js
- WebXR (checkout the another project we have under the @moeru-ai organization)
If you are interested, why not introduce yourself here? Would like to join part of us to build AIRI?

pnpm dev:tamagotchi
A Nix package for Tamagotchi is included. To run airi with Nix, first make sure to enable flakes, then run:
nix run github:moeru-ai/airi
NixOS
Electron requires shared libraries that aren't in standard paths on NixOS. Use the FHS shell defined in flake.nix:
nix develop .#fhs
pnpm dev:tamagotchi
Stage Pocket (Mobile Version)
Start the development server for the capacitor:
pnpm dev:pocket:ios --target <DEVICE_ID_OR_SIMULATOR_NAME>
# Or
CAPACITOR_DEVICE_ID_IOS=<DEVICE_ID_OR_SIMULATOR_NAME> pnpm dev:pocket:ios
You can see the list of available devices and simulators by running pnpm exec cap run ios --list.
If you need to connect server channel on pocket in wireless mode, you need to start tamagotchi as root:
sudo pnpm dev:tamagotchi
Then enable secure websocket in tamagotchi settings/connections.
