Just tested and this works perfectly! I thank you for taking the time to fix an issue. Thanks again!
[Shield General] nk33:
So just to get this straight you used a crossover ethernet cable and gave both devices static IPs and the problem persists?
[Shield General] rdubs628:
Oh, sorry. Bad explanation. No, I followed this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52561203&postcount=676 to turn my desktop into a WiFi hotspot. It actually works really well (latency of around 2-10ms), but I still get the strong packet loss. That's why I'm thinking the issue is the USB adapter.
[Shield General] nk33:
cool, lucky I asked as the way you worded it meant you wired it up direct with ethernet.

this could be a 2.4ghz issue. I have latency issues with high-end graphics games nearly every time I use 2.4ghz. Few options in your case:

1) Wire your client pc up to the router with an Ethernet cable - latency issues should disappear if you have a half decent rig

2) Get a dual band router and use the 5ghz channel - this will be smooth, but your wireless usb dongle needs to support 5ghz

3) use wifi analyser and scan your wifi networks in your area. see if your channel is on the same as others and change it on your router.

let me know how it goes
[Shield General] estabon:
Anyone find an answer to this?

Anyone able to find an answer to this below? Cgutman... anyone?
[Shield General] rdubs628:
Alright so I finally wired up with Ethernet. That does fix the problem! Unfortunately it isn't really a feasible long-term solution as it requires running a cable throughout my house (wife does NOT like that). I already have a dual-band router (asus ac68u) and am connected on the 5GHz channel on both desktop and Nexus 5. I also scanned the networks and my router has 0 interference with its 5GHz channel. Is there anything else I can do to help with packet loss when the desktop is connected with WiFi?

Hey everyone. New to this and currently on mobile. I am getting Error Code 530 (see picture).

GFE 2.1.4.0

Windows 8.1

Limelight Root 3.0.1 (Dev please put the version in the settings menu :) )

Moto X 2013

GTX 780

i5-3570k

Wired Internet, phone on Wifi (2.4ghz unfortunately)

Any ideas what is causing this? Do I need something limelight related running on my PC besides GFE??

EDIT: Second pic is another error I received...I managed to get the PIN to display once, where am I putting that PIN on my PC?

remote streaming

I've been having issues lately with remote streaming. It seemed fairly stable swveral patches ago, but now, it is very difficult to gwt my phone to see my pc from a different network. Seems to work after rebooting phone sometimes, and others after rebooting pc. I have no issues at all when connected to my home network, but from other networks it is very inconsistent. Any tips on making this work better? Is my PC changing its IP adress or something? Some network setting i should change? Of course i have remote streaming enabled through GFE, and my router/modem isnt blocking ports or anything i dont think, since it does work sometimes.

Just hoping someone has tips/tricks so I can connect remotely more reliably, or maybe readd pc by ip address manually if it cant find it?

Thanks for any help! I love this app and the speed of updates and patches is incredible! Thank you so much for your hard work!

Has anyone have been trying to use ipega controller? Cause when i was trying, it didn’t work at all :(
[Shield General] cswoape:
CGutman,

Thank you so much for your continued development of limelight! I use it on many devices and it works nearly flawlessly, especially on android. I know the PC port is lagging behind feature wise, but I was wondering if you could help with a program I am having. I cannot use any time of bluetooth controller on Limelight PC, if I use a hardwired controller it works superbly. The bluetooth controllers (DS4 and MOGA) both register in windows as gamepads, all buttons register correctly also, but limelight just says "No Gamepad Connected." I attempted to use x360 but that did not seem to help either.

Thanks for any feedback!
[Shield General] nk33:
I use the ipega controller on my tab and my phone.. Works sweet. Make sure you pair it using the x button.
[Shield General] elpeterson:
Just for anyone who encounters this in the future. I figured out the Error Code 530. I was remoting into my desktop PC while on the same network with my phone, it was blocking the connection needed for Limelight to properly send a pair request. So if you are trying to be lazy and pair the phone...just walk over to the damn computer or else youll end up frustrated like me.

Limelight Version with virtual controller

Hey everybody :)

because I missed a virtual controller on my device and found nowhere a for me fitting solution i decided to create one by my own... :)

this is what comes out:

On Mobile (LG G2) 16:9

On Tablet (Cube 9x Talk) 4:3

This is only a testing build of limelight application with my controller feature. When i have some more free time I'll make a configuration page for the controller and pubulish the source to the real dev so he can add it. :)

I wonder if it's possible to have a chrome implementation of the apk so we can use limelight in any computer running chrome.
[Shield General] bluegizmo83:
Hello. Has anyone else tried using LimeLight over the LTE network from Straight Talk (AT&T towers)? I just switched from T-Mobile to Straight Talk AT&T BYOP plan, and now I can no longer get limelight working on the mobile network! On Wifi if still works fine, but when I'm on mobile data I get no video or sound! The controller inputs still work (viewing on my PC monitor) but I get no picture and sound on the phone!
[Shield General] bluegizmo83:
hey [MENTION=2844433]cgutman[/MENTION], it appears that Straight Talk is blocking some of the ports required for me to use LimeLight over mobile network. I can connect to my desktop and input functions work like they should (viewing on my PC monitor), but on my phone I get no sound or picture. It worked fine before I switched to Straight Talk (previously had T-Mobile), so all I can figure is they are blocking one or more of the ports required for limelight (just like they have been confirmed blocking port 1723 for PPTP VPN networks).... Is there any way you can send me an alternate APK that uses different ports for the audio and video streams, or are those ports locked in on the PC side of it?
[Shield General] IWOULDLIKETOBUYAHAMBURGER:
Best cheap tablet for Limelight?

Hi guys, i was just wondering what is going to be the best cheap tablet to run limelight on? Will performance be good on something like a samsung tab 4 10.1, LG G2 10.1 or HP 10 plus? The performance on my nexus 7 2012 just isnt quite good enough anymore.
[Shield General] nk33:
probably be easier to call them and tell them they are blocking the ports you need and to open them up otherwise you will leave. you can break the contract as they are restricting your use without prior notice.

remember to site the fact that the app was working fine on your old provider as a basis for your complaint

remote streaming and steam community (steam overlay)

Hello, I dont want to keep asking the same question, but the post about ports on ATT made me wonder if my remote streaming problem might be related? I am on an ATT family plan (i dont think its straight talk?) But i have trouble withthe remote streaming. I dont think its the ports though because it works sometimes. It also seems to behave the same from a remote wifi network. If i reboot the desktop, it can connect once, and load app list, but then seems to disconnect again. I dont know why, but sometimes it does work after about 20 tries! Could this also be a port issue? Is it always using the same ports?

Thanks for any help, I also am having an issue with the steam overlay, it works fine in some games (tested in borderlands) but not in others (awesomenauts, escape goat) If I start big picture mode on my desktop, I can still bring up the overlay in big picture mode. This is particularly annoying, because I'd like to play Awesomenauts with friends (invites and such dont work without overlay). I know the button combo to open the overlay, but when launching these games where it doesn't work, it doesnt even show the "access the steam community while playing" pop up that usually shows in the corner when the game launches.

Thanks for any help, I love this app!

-Andrew
[Shield General] nk33:
from what you say this issue is nothing to do with your cell provider, plus it is different from the one above - he cannot connect at all through his 4g plan.

your issue is router or pc related. Look into your routers security settings, make sure all ports are forwarded to the pc, reboot the router (sometimes my sky router needs a reboot to get the streaming working again), check firewall on your pc and av software
[Shield General] millerajm:
Thanks for your quick reply, I will have to look again at my router settings. It does seem odd that it works sometimes but not others, without rebooting the router in between tries. I suppose it woukd be odd if limelight changed ports on different attempts...

Thanks!

-Andrew
[Shield General] bluegizmo83:
Already tried that... Its a contract free provider, so I can switch anytime I want. But when I talked to them they're stupid india tech support they claim they are not blocking any ports, but if you search google you will find countless posts about PPTP VPN's not working through Straight Talk, and the only way for that to happen would be for them to be blocking port 1723, so they are lying. I've already filed several FCC complaints against them on behalf of myself and everyone else in my household.
[Shield General] nk33:
so now the obvious question...apart from price why are you still with them? If they actually block ports there is nothing that can be done as far as i am aware.

blocking ports is a synical way of making sure you dont use loads of data
[Shield General] bluegizmo83:
Lol well I literally just switch to them yesterday. So I'm going to finish using this one month I already paid for, then switch back to T-Mobile.

As for not being able to do anything about them blocking ports, I believe its technically illegal, because As per the FCC Open Internet Order 2010 which states in part: "A person engaged in the provision of mobile broadband Internet access service, insofar as such person is so engaged, shall not block consumers from accessing lawful websites or services"...

That's why I filed several FCC complaints. But I will be switching back to T-Mobile after I use this one month of service I already paid for.
[Shield General] nk33:
good on you mate.

i think these kind of providers are only interested in the really low budget user - eg old people and non-techies who just browse and that's it...

having said that i hope they get done over because blocking ports these days is pretty much like cutting your water supply!...what about security camera ports, remote desktop etc etc.
[Shield General] bluegizmo83:
Exact my point! Thats why i wrote a long post on facebook as well asking everybody to file complaints and explaining that even though it may not effect everyone (i.e. older people an non tech users), it is still wrong and will eventually end up hurting all consumers if these companies are allowed to continue these bad practices.
[Shield General] TheGregButcher:
So i want to ask after reading throught the introduction, it says bluetooth issues are a thing. I'm using a nexus 5 and an ipega 9025. On 2.4ghz, if the controller isnt connected it runs fine, the second i pair it up it goes into masive packet losses. If i try to use "gamepad mode" with the drivers and whatnot its even worse, doesnt even work. So anyone found some fix for this?Yeah i read that it might be something with the chipset bluetooth controller or whatnot but i thought asking is worth a try.(sorry im not gonna go over 100 pages) Thx in advance.
[Shield General] MalaBouM:
Hi, first you must run 5ghz network ! Also blutooth issues is an hardware problem but you can minimise this impact. For that turn of wifi and bluetooth,turn on wifi, wait a minute, turn on your bluetooth and connect your pad.

Bluetooth must be turned on AFTER the wifi.

For optimal streaming you can totaly turn off 2.4ghz on your router. If 2.4 and 5ghz coexist on the same device this can cause interference.

Steam Community in some games

Hi again, sorry to post so much recently, but i inadvertently solved an issue I was having and figured I would post back in case it would benefit others.

I was unable to access steam community when streaming awesomenauts. This seems to have been because i had the settings page when it first launches set to directx. It did work in big picture mode, just not when streaming. Switched to openGL, and now the community pops up just fine! Still doesnt work in some other games, but awesomenauts is the one i need the community for anyway!

Hope this can help someone else also!

[Shield General] TheGregButcher:
Thx, sadly i don't have any kind of 5ghz band, so im stuck with this. I'll try to tinker around with turning it on in order, thanks for the tip.
[Shield General] bluegizmo83:
You should DEFINATELY invest in a 5ghz Wireless-AC router! I'd recommend the Netgear R6250. You can get one on Ebay for about $70. I was having the exact same problems you are having on my Nexus 5, it was pretty much unplayable without a wired xbox 360 controller via USB-OTG, but I really wanted to use my Moga Pro bluetooth gamepad. I went and bought that R6250 and it's be AWESOME ever since! I play on my N5 with settings of 720p@60 and 10mbps under limelight settings, and I get 10ms latency (which is AMAZING!) Online FPS games are no different that playing with a controller on my PC (only on a smaller screen of course). Bathroom gaming just went to a whole new level! LOL
[Shield General] TheGregButcher:
Yeah sadly is not a priority to buy a router just for bathroom /in-bed gaming :D i was just curious if I can do it for fully free since I already had a bt controller and a good phone for the job, not to mention the pc. Buying a router is not something I can afford anyway.

I finally got my new AP in and tried Limelight on my Amazon Fire TV Stick.

The latency dropped a little bit, down in to the high 30s to mid 40s. But the consistency of the video quality jumped up remarkably. All of the stutters, jitter, and other network quality issues are completely gone since switching to a 5Ghz channel. The latency is high enough that I can tell it is there, but it is low enough and consistent that I can deal with it.

[Shield General] Attreyu:
You could try to use TriDef or Vireio Perception to convert the games to side-by-side 3D.

On the other side (the mobile device), I once asked the Kainy developer to implement a simple side-by-side solution to the client and he did it. He even implemented gyroscope based rotation and it works quite well.

It must be said that VR type gaming is beyond the scope of Limelight, or at least I think so. You would have better chances of playing games that run in stereoscopic mode natively, like Tomb Raider, Crysis, Doome 3 BFG, etc.
[Shield General] johnnobts:
I agree, and not expecting it to do sbs video streaming for 3d, only making the app play nice within the vr world. The oculus cinema let's you watch your 2d content on a giant iMac size screen (in a 360 virtual theater room). Only issue is u can't run video streaming apps like netflix (yet). Just thinking ahead would love to stream via limelight while wearing the gear headset.

CPU goes to 100% when streaming

Hello All,

Below is my setup. I just got a new MSI GTX 970 Gaming G4 GPU. Last night I put on MSI's Afterburner to see what my FPS were and the GPU usage/temps are on my new GPU, and noticed something. My PC is running my CPU at 100% when streaming to limelight. Is this normal? My CPU is normally at 40%-75% when gaming on just the PC. Does Limelight/NVidia Gamestream use the CPU to push it trough? I thought this was all done on GPU? Does anyone else's CPU do this?

unlucky with the source

I was trying to build from the source downloaded from github.

I tried both on windows and on ubuntu 64bit VM...build process didn't give any error but the apk generated fails when starting a stream.

The offically released version worked great.

Maybe I used the wrong SDK or NDK version? I used the latest.

P.S. I was trying to add some barrel distortion effect for own use. Because some application only supports IZ3D driver side-by-side and IZ3D driver removes any shader post processing.

--edited--

A debug version of the generated APK will always work with only audio and a blank screen...I wonder what could be the problem?

--edited 2--

lint report html showed that some org.bouncycastle package and some other package is not included in android...now trying to fix that....

also a apilevel error.(adjusting api level for that)

looks like I did something wrong resolving package dependencies.(will update if it still not working after these error were corrected)

Hi Cameron,

I'm testing LimeLight 3.0.2 (Root) through an USB -> ethernet adapter on Lollipop (5.0.0) with both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013 (and GFE 2.1.4.0 on my PC).

While on the N7 2013 everything works as expected (same performances I had on KitKat), on the Nexus 5 after the update to Lollipop (and probably after several updates of LimeLight since my last test), I'm constantly getting the error "Detected high amount of network packet loss" with a permanent black screen. Attached below the logcat. The hardware used (except for the device itself) is the same, so I would mostly exclude problems related to cables, router or PC.

Thanks in advance!

I have used it with hearthstone. Works well, but I often end up with the lost packets error (happens with all games not just hearthstone).
