macOS 26 - Virtual Buddy (Version 2.0.1 (282)) DRM Protected Video screen shown on VM thumbnail

[K10DK]

Hey there,

I've noticed shutting down vm's traditionally results in a DRM Protected Video prompt appearing in the thumbnail of the vm itself in Virtual Buddy (screenshot attached)

Opening the vm will show the blurred version of the DRM Protected Video prompt in the background (screenshot attached)

Specs:
Version of macOS installed: macOS Tahoe 26.0 Beta (25A5279m)
Model: M1 MacBook Air
Version of Virtual Buddy currently installed: v2.0.1 (282)
Versions of Virtual Buddy tested: v2.0 (203) - v2.0.1 (282)

Additional info:
Using only the internal display and no third-party display extenders in use (DisplayLink etc)

How to replicate the fault:

1. Grab your Mac, Launch Virtual Buddy, click on your VM
2. At the login window, log into your vm or use the shutdown option within the menubar of the virtualised OS
3. Bring Virtualbuddy into main view and you'll notice the thumbnail change

Workarounds:
None - the vm's continue to work irrespective of what is shown on the thumbnail after shutdown

If I'm missing any information, please let me know and I'll add it here.

That's really weird because the screenshotting feature has been disabled, so the app should not be taking any screenshots at all.

I'm unable to reproduce here, but it's not a big deal because I'm soon going to rebuild this feature from scratch.

No problem at all - I'll close off this request for now.

I'm going to leave this open so it's easier for others to see, at least until I release an update with the fix.
