Thank you.

here is another thing:

Insetad of buying a 5ghz router imcould instead just buy a good 5ghz pcie wificard for my pc and connect with my android to my pc over connectify... Right?
[Shield General] tclark232:
Core i5 2500k + GTX 770 & Ouya with a wired 360 controller. No wireless.

Tested Bioshock Infinite.

Quality is massively improved, but latency appears to have gotten worse as well and it occasionally pauses for a second or so in menus. Not sure if I've hit the limits of the client to decode...
[Shield General] cgutman:
Try 720p60. That seems to be the sweet spot for the Ouya.
[Shield General] MalaBouM:
Hello, I just tested the new apk and improvements are really here. The 720p 60fps works great now and latency is almost nonexistent. thank you for your work!

I have a small problem, when I leave a game to get back on big picture icons disappear. I can only open and close the web browser and the steam messenger but I cant go back to the selection of games. I have to alt-tab back to the game selection. someone have the same problem?

I use a moga pro with LG G2 connected to wifi N.

My cpu is a amd fx8350 and my gpu is a gtx 660.

My pc is connected to the router by Cpl liason

I used Windows 8.1 64

Thanks for your work!
[Shield General] cgutman:
I've replicated the occasional pauses but haven't found a root cause yet. During the pause, the PC stops sending video data for several seconds (confirmed with Wireshark that no video packets come in for several seconds, while audio is unaffected). It doesn't look related to anything on the rendering end, but it might be related to the new configuration we're sending.
[Shield General] irtimmer:
Limelight pi 0.4

I have made a new release of Limelight pi which contains the improvement in video latency and lot of other audio and gamepad related bugs. Although it misses the improvements Limlight common for better quality on 1080p and reduced video cpu. This new release can as usually be downloaded from https://github.com/irtimmer/limelight-pi/releases
[Shield General] Motawa88:
I am thinking about getting a Asus Fonepad Note 6. The thing is, it has a Intel Atom cpu.... will this work with Limelight?
[Shield General] PSNick:
Hello,

My apologies if this has been answered before, and it probably has, but I didn't manage to find information about it. Is it possible to stream a game to a tablet, and at the same time play something different on the pc?

Can we do that by default, or perhaps with a VM?

Thank you.
[Shield General] d_xd:
Hi everyone, I have two questions

1) Is it possible in moonlight to open Steam big picture automatically when we start the moonlight android app? if not, i think it could be a great feature.

2) I have an issue with "no man's sky" that only the sound is streamed but the video doesn't apear on the device (black screen). Already tried to add on steam but it does the same. Is the gog version

Is there any solution?

Thanks in advance

I believe not. when you stream to your device the game appears in fluuscreen on your pc. you you alt tab and open another, this game that you open on your pc will apear on the device.

You can try with the VM, it's a good idea. If it works you need a good computer to handle to games and one of them on a VM.

Best Regards
[Shield General] the_mentor:
Usually games don't work well in VMs because of the GPU requirements.

You can setup GPU pass through to the VM but it usually requires a 2nd dedicated GPU.
[Shield General] bluegizmo83:
Edit: nevermind, I think I misunderstood what you are asking... You basically want moonlight to automatically load you into Steam Big Picture when you first open the Moonlight app. I don't think this is possible currently. You would have to first click on your PC in Moonlight, and then click on Steam in the games list to get to Steam Big Picture.
[Shield General] d_xd:
That would be the perfect scenario, but i if i have two or more computers to stream the best scenerio would be, going to steam automatically when i choose a computer.

I'ts very difficult going automatically to steam big picture without choosing a computer because of the way that moonlight works, but i believe the second scenario is not too difficult. or maybe add an option on the setting to go to steam big picture.

Best regards
[Shield General] tom047:
Unbelievable product. Hats off to the developers. I've only got this working in the last week or two after building a new HTPC with a ****ty 1050 but for emulated games and a controller it's amazing.

I have a few questions:

1) When a host is added by domain name and I am on the internal network, is the stream sent over LAN/WLAN or over the internet? I kinda feel like maybe [MENTION=2844433]cgutman[/MENTION] was eluding to this sort of thing in his earlier answer but I wasn't 100% clear.

2) Is there much ongoing development happening for the iOS/Android app etc? The iOS app has noticeably different branding/layout to the Chrome extension, for example. Would be great to get a refresh and maybe even an extra couple of gestures/3D-touch shortcuts (eg to close an open app). I'm a software engineer, no iOS experience per se but would be happy to chuck some spare time at it if devs don't have any plans to....

3) I haven't tested this as thoroughly as I should but anecdotally, after I wake my computer from sleep (using wake on wireless LAN) the client will always indicate that the host is offline. If I manually remove and re-add the host it immediately appears as online. Anything I'm doing wrong or is this something known about?

Honestly the app is amazing and I'm so impressed. My TV has awful input lag but I can actually play my games using Moonlight and my laptop/iPhone hahaha - it's the most bizarro, 21st-century setup I could possibly imagine.
[Shield General] bluegizmo83:
I can't speak to the iPhone app, but the Android app is updated very regularly! Also, as far as I know, cgutman is the only developer of this app, and to make it, he had to completely reverse engineer the stock Nvidia gamestream stuff because there was no open source code or API's to use in development of this app or any like it! Pretty impressive to say the least!
[Shield General] cgutman:
1. When a host is reachable over local and remote IP addresses, Moonlight will give preference to the local IP address to stream through the LAN. However, even though you may be "local", there could be reasons that Moonlight may still pick the remote IP address (if GFE is reporting a strange/incorrect local IP address, firewall issues, etc.). Even if Moonlight picks the external IP address, most routers have a feature called NAT loopback which handles accesses to the external IP address of the router from the LAN internally without sending anything outside the router.

2. The Android app is more active than the iOS one at the moment. That's mainly down to the fact that I'm more experienced with Android than iOS and my daily drivers being Android devices. The Android framework is also a little more friendly toward some of the stuff Moonlight does too (like implementing a USB driver in app for Xbox controllers or supporting native mouse/keyboard input/capture). I think the big goal people on GitHub have in mind for iOS now is to get official support for Apple TV now that Apple has added the key APIs we use to their list of supported tvOS APIs. There's an older PR that needs some help to merge cleanly into master. I'm also planning to bring the Android/Chrome icon to iOS in the next update to unify that aspect of things. Any help you want to provide would be appreciated.

3. I don't think that specifically is a known issue, though I have noticed some weirdness with online/offline state tracking on the iOS app sometimes where it won't update state without force-closing the app.
[Shield General] nk33:
I am now using IPVanish VPN on my pc. I have noticed, however, that even though i can still continue using all other services forwarded to this pc, Moonlight fails on the handshake when my vpn is active. if i turn it off Moonlight works...

Is there any way round this? Dont see why i cant connect using my real ip address while the vpn is active...?
[Shield General] davartens:
Hy guys,

Im currently selling an Amlogic s805 Android tv Box that worked with a pretty bad Latency on Moonlight @ 1080p60 (Moonlight works great on my Qualcomm 820 phone with an ethernet and 5ghz wifi lan, so its not a networking lag problem).

Im looking to buy a new Tv Box to fullfill my Kodi and Gamestreaming needs, what box do you recommend??

I looked for and Nvidia Shield Tv that seems to be the best one to use with Moonlight or official Nvidia Gamestream (correct me if im wrong), but it looks that its not lower than 160-200u$s on the market.

Is there any box cheaper than that, but with a similar performance on Moonlight than the Shield TV????

Thank you!!

Overwatch doesn't seem to be working for me....

I'm running Windows 10 on the host and macOS public beta on the laptop. As soon as I launch from the laptop, it just goes to a black screen and I hear the overwatch logging in sounds in the background.

I just checked and I am confirmed to be running the latest nVidia drivers on the host.

Thanks!
[Shield General] nk33:
Try changing the resolution on the host. It happened to me on a couple of gamrd and this fixed it for me.
[Shield General] mr_blanket:
Hmm.. still no luck.

Oddly enough, I can't get overwatch to work over regular remote control. It just minimizes as soon as it maximizes.
[Shield General] lateforwork1000:
do you have more then one monitor connected ?
[Shield General] mr_blanket:
I actually have zero monitors connected! It's a headless machine/server with a 1070 inside.

my wife hates the RGB lights and fans in the bedroom, so instead, the gaming rig is in another room and I stream to my macbook pro.... or at least that's the idea

Moonlight and ipad air 2

Hi,

I'm trying to have a good gameplay experience with IOS moonlight client on ipad air 2. My problem is, every 5-10 seconds, for half a second, it becomes choppy with artifacts (with sound problem too) then it gets OK again.

I have this behaviour from 0.5 Mbps to 50 Mbps. As I said, it last half a second but it's not very fun playing with that every 5-10 seconds. Playing with the Chrome app on my macbook seems OK. I tried Splashtop on my ipad and it seems OK too...

Any idea ? My gfx card is a GTX 1080. It's connected to a 5ghz wireless network (I'm sitting like 2 meters away). I even tried to change the channel. No effect. Considering that it's doing this even at 0.5 Mbps, I suppose it's not a bandwidth problem. I really hope I can get this working so I can play anywhere in my house on my ipad.

thanks
[Shield General] eliott94260:
It's perhaps the solution :without monitor connected i have certain game with mouse control and nvidia share doesn't work without monitor, both technologies use same protocol
[Shield General] k4rmatic:
hi, love what you're doing, got to say that first, its amazing. ive set up moonlight to stream over the internet by port forwarding but is this possible with 2 or more PCs streaming over the internet? i mean i dont know how it would work. would i port forward 2 different IPs? but then they would both come from 1 public IP. or would i specify a specific port for each PC? i am very confused and would greatly appreciate any help. please and thank you in advance.

Stuck

Guys, I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask or it was already solved somewhere else, but my Theater just shows the main logo, nothing else, just me in a room with stars, the app logo in front of me. Can somebody help me?
[Shield General] badogski29:
Moonlight on ios, runs really well except for a weird bug for the game Hitman:absolution. So when i play this game, it would constantly shoot the gun(as if a mouse is stuck on left clicking). I use my xbox 360 controller to play this game and its connected straight to the host. I already renamed both rxinput files on both program files folder. Now im guessing maybe this is happening because the game has a launcher.
[Shield General] cgutman:
You're using Stream Theater? What phone? What version of GeForce Experience is installed on your PC?

That's pretty weird. You can try launching it manually via streaming your whole desktop - https://github.com/moonlight-stream...using-moonlight-to-stream-your-entire-desktop
[Shield General] donthateme702:
i have a gtx 670m on AsusRog laptop,and its not supported by GFE,thats what nvidia support told me. Is ther a work around i can use? Thanks

also am running rooted nougat 7.0 on my shiled android tv.

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

The part that amazes me,is every gtx except the 670m is supported pretty much. I have a $2000.00 gaming laptop,nvidia shield android tv but cant gamestream,smh!Garbage Nvidia.
[Shield General] cgutman:
Yeah, that's highly unfortunate naming by NVIDIA. The 670M appears to be a rebadged 570M (according to https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-670M.72197.0.html) which is based on the Fermi architecture and doesn't support GameStream because it lacks the hardware encoder (NVENC) that Kepler has.

While there is a workaround for non-GTX Kepler cards (which do have NVENC but it's locked out in software by NVIDIA), there's no workaround that will let Fermi cards use GameStream because the hardware really isn't present.
[Shield General] donthateme702:
i found another gamestream sevice that woks great,so i'm happy camper. I know better than to buy AsusRog again.
[Shield General] thekingofstyle:
I'm having issues with the Moonlight iOS app (iPad Pro 10.5, iOS 11) and XCOM 2 (War of the Chosen) only intermittently recognizing the controller input. My home PC has a GTX 970 and GeForce Experience 3.9.0.97.

When it doesn't work XCOM 2 will not have the controller as an option for the input device, or it will show the "Please Reconnect Controller" window over the game menus. I'm using either the Moonlight on screen controller or a SteelSeries Stratus, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I've also tried Shadow of Mordor and The Witcher 3, and both seem to recognize the controller pretty consistently.

Any ideas or any info I can provide?

I will say - when it works, it is awesome. This is a great gaming combination for work travel, even over hotel wi-fi in foreign countries.
[Shield General] thekingofstyle:
Update - appears this may be a War of the Chosen thing. I switched back and forth with WotC and regular XCOM 2, and regular XCOM2 recognized the Moonlight controller every time.
[Shield General] nickalumada:
Pressing the back/select button on xbox 360 controller pushes back to the game selecting screen. I know this bug has been fixed in an earlier update of moonlight but somehow it stills appear on my device (running Resurrection Remix, android 7.1.2). Any workarounds?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Since GFE has been updated to 3.10 moonlight doesn't let me connect anymore. It is a known issue?

i have upgraded to 3.10 yesterday and mine still works fine. Have you updated moonlight to the latest version?
[Shield General] defcon1186:
Yeah Moonlight was also updated... However I've solved removing all Shield Devices and reinstalling GFE. :good:

When the VPN i use ( IP Vanish) is running and connected to a VPN server, moonlight wont work. is there a simple way round this?

At the moment i remote desktop in and turn off the VPN if i want to use moonlight
[Shield General] hndrkx:
Hello!

I've searched the web for the solution but so far I've come up empty. And as this thread is 400 pages long, I haven't had time to read all of them.

My setup:

Host Computer

i7 7700K

GTX 1070

16GB RAM

Running latest GFE and drivers.

Mediabox:

Minix Neo U1

So I just recently installed Moonlight on the mediabox and I can connect to the PC without a problem, but playing the games is a different story.

My main objective is to play FIFA on my TV with a controller, but the input delay is just to great that it's impossible to enjoy.

So what I think I found so far is that this has to do with the hardware decoder? I've got a delay of 70-100ms, is there anything to do to make this better?

Or am I out of luck with this device?

Any suggestions?
[Shield General] lateforwork1000:
Hay would it be possible for you to add support for other resolutions to the main build? you no longer need Geforce beta or experimetal features enable to get them to work.
[Shield General] NautrallyNick:
Renaming Computers?

I've been using the Moonlight app for Android and it's been working great so far, but is there a way to rename the PC in the main menu? I'd like to have something like "User-PC (Home)" and "User-PC (Away)" for when I'm trying to stream games outside of the house. Currently it seems like I can't add a second IP address if it has the same name. I get the "cannot connect check firewall and ports" error connecting outside of the network, but when I delete the "Home" instance, it works immediately.
[Shield General] apoklyps3:

Any Solution?
[Shield General] sh0nuff:
Sort of confused as to why there's no mouse support.. This is an ideal method to stream games from my PC to my chromebook, but there's no native support for a mouse, I have to either drag the mouse around with my mouse to select menu options (not ideal, but doable), but once the game starts, there's no way to play, as you have to hold the left mouse button down to look/turn, which makes shooting/interacting/playing impossible...?

Looks like Razer have announced the release of their new phone for gamers....it runs android but has better specs than any phone i have ever seen or i dont think will see for quite a while. Perfect for Moonlight!!

Docs for moonlight-common-c and/or GFE protocol

Hey,

I'm looking into trying to make a port of Moonlight for a new platform and I was wondering if you guys had any documentation/examples for how to use moonlight-common-c and/or the GFE protocol? Thanks!
[Shield General] nk33:
1) delete both pcs

2) go away mode so you are not local

3) add pc

4) type in WAN address

5) add pc

This will now both home and away no. Need for 2 icons. Thats what i.did and works sweet
[Shield General] defcon1186:
Hello guys,

I'm wondering if I am only one with this issue. I'm using last version of Moonlight and GFE. When I play mouse based game I've noticed my mouse pointer reset his position on the center of the screen each time I "touch" an edge of the screen. This occur both in windowed and fullscreen mode, even if I got same resolution both on server and host. I've got any kind of issue if I play with controller. Any of you have some workaround for this ?
[Shield General] cgutman:
I think it's a security feature of the VPN to prevent traffic from leaking out onto your local network. It's trying to isolate you from your possibly untrusted network connection. There may be an option in the VPN software to turn that off.

Some devices have decoders that just work better than others. If your PC GPU is new enough, you can try forcing H.265 enabled in the Moonlight settings and see if that improves your latency.

It's something I'm thinking about. I'm still trying to figure out how to do it in a way that's not going to be confusing when it doesn't immediately switch the display resolution to that resolution.

Which games? There's probably nothing Moonlight can do. We just send GFE the commands and it's up to it to send them to the game however it sees fit.

I couldn't figure out what you meant for a bit - Moonlight Chrome has full mouse capture. You're running the Android app on your Chromebook. The Android runtime on ChromeOS is currently Android Nougat which doesn't support mouse capture added recently in Android Oreo. When Google updates the Android runtime for ChromeOS to Oreo, mouse capture will work in the Android app. In the meantime, you should use the Chrome app which will work now.

Ah yes, this is the infamous Windows 10 FCU bug - https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-chrome/issues/335

I'm going to take a look soon. If there's something I can do to fix it in Moonlight, I'll do that. If it has to be fixed in Chrome, I'll make sure it's been reported to Google.
[Shield General] justwondering:
I am a Moonlight new comers, but I have it set up and working via my router using a couple of powerline adapters to cut down on the long wires.

I have a couple of questions.

I am steaming 1440p(game res setting) to my 1080p monitor as I seem to think I can tell the difference due to down sampling....

My question is, I have the bandwidth set to 60, I know the default is 20 for 60fps 1080p.

Am I causing any latency issues by setting it higher than the required default? Or should I set it even higher for better quality? Or lower it as 60 is overkill for 1080p?

My 2nd question is, does mic input work for in game chat such as for player unknown etc?

I have to say that I have been using a steamlink for the past 6 months or longer which has been great, but found some games ran very choppy such as Assassin's creed origins, even though running a fairly well specced i5 6600k, ssd, 16gb of 3000Mhz ram and a 1080ti.

Moonlight is massively superior to my steamlink In every way so far, compatibility with games, resolutions options, quality of visual output, sound quality, latency.

I wish I had found the software sooner!
[Shield General] diogo.sena:
Hi everyone,

Just found a "bug"

My setup was working perfectly, but today, stopped working with rtsp errors, launch game but never connects.

I was using two connections to the same network on my pc, wifi and cable, disconnecting either, moonlight works ok again!

Please fix that. Thanks!
[Shield General] F For Fake:
Thanks for this fantastic work, one quick question about HDR if I may.

I own an Nvidia shield and have in the past managed to get HDR to work via gamestream on the 970 (this was extremely rare mind) - it appears that it either did not work correctly or support has been removed

Could you please confirm that you would absolutely need to use the 1000 series to get HDR and there is no hope for maxwell cards? When I launched Moonlight I get an error about HDR10 not being supported.
[Shield General] MrPhilo:
Anyone know how to backup added games to Nvidia Shield? I've added like 25 games and did all the picture up and name but my device isn't detecting my PC anymore so I want to do a re-install on G Experience
[Shield General] cgutman:
It shouldn't cause latency increases to bump the bitrate up, as long as your network and client device can handle it.

Mic doesn't not currently work, but I think it's coming soon based on some changes I've seen in the last GFE update. After Nvidia ships support, Moonlight will also need to be updated to use it too.

I believe that issue is PC-side. You might check if there firewall is configured differently for your 2 connections.

I don't think it's possible for pre-Pascal cards to do HDR GameStream, since that depends on HEVC Main10 profile encoding support which was only introduced in Pascal. Maxwell does support HEVC Main, but not Main10 (which is 10-bit that provides the extra depth that HDR needs).

I've never done it myself, but I believe it may be possible. The custom added apps are simply shortcuts (and a hidden subfolder) in a folder in %LOCALAPPDATA%\NVIDIA Corporation\Shield Apps. If you copy that entire folder out, it will probably save your shortcuts. I've never tried though so no guarantees.
