I'm trying to use my official wired XB360 pad via a Advent Vega Note 7 but am getting a 'starting control connection failed' error, controller works fine with everything else.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong..?

Thanks.
[Shield General] TrekHackz:
Force close on Note 3.. cant start the app..
[Shield General] cgutman:
You could play BF4 but right now mouse control is not ideal for gaming. Android's mouse APIs are pretty sparse so there's no proper way for us to hide the mouse cursor displayed locally or allow it to move infinitely far in all directions like games expect. I'm still trying to figure out a solution.

Try rebooting your PC. It's usually a PC-side issue that causes this.

Can you report the crash using the button that shows up in the crash dialog? This is assuming you're using the Play Store version.
[Shield General] miseryguts:
Nope, doesn't help.. shame as I was looking forward to giving this a try

Would this work with the Moga Hero? http://www.mogaanywhere.com/controllers/heropower Sorry, a little confused because it states that a Moga Pro is required which I thought was last gen and the current gen is Power Pro and Hero?
[Shield General] cgutman:
It should work fine with Limelight. Just flip the switch into HID mode and everything should work. If it doesn't, post here about specifically which buttons aren't working properly and I'll fix it.

I should update the description to mention some of the newer models and to be more specific about other controllers also working.
[Shield General] TrekHackz:
Did a factory reset! Works perfect now!! Great work!

I know it's been mentioned before but I would really love and by live I mean pay money for some Chromecast support. I know the Chromecast can't do any of the heavy lifting but it would be amazing if I could start limelight with my phone and pass off the video feed to my Chromecast in my living room.

This would make me sooooooo happy.

[Shield General] wilflare:
anyone tried this on the Note3... and AMD cards?
[Shield General] ammarr:
This works very decently on my Note 2. One suggestion; would it be possible to have two modes for mouse? i.e. the touchpad mode that is implemented right now, and another one where it could execute a click where you touch the screen? (i.e. move the cursor and execute a click at the location where you touch)

geforce update on april 2nd

Do any of you guys know the cards they will be including on the update ? I have gt650m SLI GDDR5. i hope they add support to it :\

Its basically the same as a gtx 660m with lower clocks but in sli mode my laptop achieves 5300 3dmark11 which is so far from the 3k + score of gtx 660m

question.

Hello. I ask about a llitle bug

I am Korean. My english is not good.. so please understand

I have a Galaxy S4 (SHV-E300K Exynos 5410) and Galaxy S4 Active (SHV-E470S Snapdragon 800)

two device are android 4.2.2 jellybean (same)

Galaxy S4 is stream well but S4 active is not stream videos..

it just show black screen...

I installed lastest version (v2.1.2)

Please fix this bug..

and another question

When i streaming dolphin emulator on windows 8.1 pro

it show nothing if i start game button ( i mean didnt show up emulator window )

but on windows 7 ult works well

is it lime light app's bug or steam's bug?

please answer my question.
[Shield General] cgutman:
Maybe once development on the core stuff (video, audio, gamepad support) dies down we can look at Chromecast support. It seems possible to have the audio and video stream going to the Chromecast while the rest goes to another Android device to send input back. It's very likely that Nvidia's April 2nd update will add a feature we need for this so it should help, but may still require a PC-side program for it to work (because GameStream doesn't support sending audio and video somewhere other than the device that started the connection).

That either means that the GameStream service is not running on your PC (look for nvstreamsvc.exe), it's blocked by a firewall, or your hardware isn't compatible with GameStream.

Several people have used it successfully on a Note 3. AMD cards aren't supported by Limelight because we're using Nvidia's PC-side code.

I wanted a feature like this too, but the problem is that Nvidia's protocol sends mouse input as deltas from the previous location. There's currently no way for us to implement the second mode because we don't know where the cursor starts when we begin streaming (and other confounding factors like the cursor leaving the main monitor to a secondary display which would break all the cursor location calculations).

I've personally tested Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, some Logitech Xbox-compatible controller, the Ouya controller, and SHIELD's integrated controller. Others have used Moga Pro controllers and integrated handheld controllers.

I'm not sure. Nvidia seems really focused on their branding this feature for GTX series GPUs (to be fair, it makes things a lot easier for them to explain which hardware supports which features). I too have a GT 650M in my laptop so I hope they launch with this feature. If they don't, I might have a go at forcing it to work on GT 650M. The 650M is the same silicon as the 660M, so it is possible (and I've done it before, but not to laptops with Optimus). The Optimus support is what I'm really looking forward to.

Does video work on your S4 Active if you choose "Force Software Decoding"?

The Dolphin Emulator issue seems like a bug in the emulator itself. Does it work if you aren't streaming?
[Shield General] wilflare:
thanks for the reply! I'm using Kainy now.. since it's the only thing that works on non-nVidia or unsupported nVidia cards

but nothing quite beats how you have coded Limelight! would be nice if AMD implements something similar :/

Limelight-pi

I've released a new version of Limelight-pi (v0.5). This should fix problems with newer firmware versions for the Raspberry Pi and incorporated the latest enhancements from Limelight Common. Release is as usual available from https://github.com/irtimmer/limelight-pi/releases

Note that support for 1080p is currently broken.

I made a little mistake by uploading the wrong binary version. The right binary has now been uploaded.
[Shield General] ammarr:
First off, thanks for the awesome manner in which you guys are running this project. Open source and really helpful contributors on xda = winning combo!

Secondly.. thats an interesting problem. Have you considered sending a really large negative delta when streaming is started (i.e. something like -3000, -3000) to position the cursor at 0,0 on the host machine.. Now that you know that the cursor is at 0,0, set an internal variable current_x and current_y at 0,0. When the user clicks on x,y send delta movements of x - current_x and y - current_y and update current_x and current_y to those values..

I'll probably look into the code on github myself once I have the opportunity and I obviously don't know the internals of how nvidia's protocol and your code works so I'm just guessing here..
[Shield General] gman901:
Hey guys, I really need your expert technical experience! I had Limelight (off Google Play) working well with my Sony Z Ultra and my Asus Desktop with i7 Haswell and GTX 760; however it seemed to stutter a lot. I read this forum and did a clean install of the older driver 332.21 and using GeForce Experience 1.8.2. No matter what I do, restart services, disable the firewall, restart pc, reinstall driver... I can never connect to my desktop as I did before I decided to go back to the older driver. I even tried updating my drivers to the most recent ones again and I have no ability to connect to my desktop. I keep getting this error: failed to connect to /10.1.0.xx (port 47989) after 5000ms. I really want to get this working again like it did previously but I'm not smart enough to figure it out.
[Shield General] cgutman:
I saw this issue too in my testing for v2.1.3. I don't know how I missed it in v2.1.2 testing, but it's fixed in v2.1.3 now. It's up on GitHub now and will be live on the Play Store in a few hours.

Yeah, we could do that. I don't like moving the user's mouse for them because I don't know how their display is setup. If the primary display is between two other displays, a huge offset like that could move the mouse off the primary display where clicking would break the stream. It could be useful to provide as an option though.

You can try completely uninstalling your driver from the control panel, rebooting, and then installing 332.21. It sounds like the streaming service just isn't running so doing a clean uninstall and reinstall might fix it.
[Shield General] gman901:
Thanks! I'll give that a try.

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Okay, I did a clean uninstall of everything Nvidia and installed the drivers doing a clean install but I get the same error with the port. It's really upsetting because I had it working fine before, even though it was sometimes laggy due to the driver bug. I kind of wished I never tried rolling back to the 332 driver because I'm completely hosed now.

EGPU

Thanks for the awesome project guys!! :good: For anybody interested this set up works with an external GPU connected to a laptop. I have a gtx660ti connected to thinkpadx220 and I can stream fine. It works very well on my wife's note 3, but says to decrease the resolution, fps.... on my nexus 4 and stutters a lot. Well I need to look into my nexus 4.
[Shield General] aklmie:
Hi,

I'am currently giving a try to your awesome project. Streaming works really well on my Lenovo X220, so keep the good job !

However, I encounter some issues :

some keys are not recognized

mouse scroll not functionnal

I would love too to be able to choose others resolutions like 1366x768 to match my notebook screen.

I published issues on GitHub but here is my configuration :

Streaming machine with GTX 780 and 335.23 driver on Windows 8.1 64bit

Client : Lenovo X220 with Windows 7 64bit (french), french keyboard, 64 bit version of limelight v0.4b

Regards,
[Shield General] gman901:
Has anyone figured out how to get Limelight to connect through port 47989? It worked before and now nothing I have done is working. I even did a hard reset on my router. Do I need to have the "gamestreaming" option on the left side panel in preferences? It's not there no matter what I do and I don't recall if it was there originally when it did work.
[Shield General] freddiemercury1:
I got limelight working on my nexus 4. I am using a ps3 controller with sixaxis app. While playing sleeping dogs all my controls are whacked up. If I connect ps3 controller directly to my PC and apply an xbox profile through DS3 it works fine. Can anybody give any suggestions on how to get it working correctly for limelight?

Also I can navigate through steam while streaming but cannot select anything.
[Shield General] cgutman:
Neat, I don't think anyone has tested that before.

The key recognition issue can be fixed for most keys. I only have an English (US) keyboard to test with so I don't have some of the keys that you do. It's also possible that Nvidia doesn't support certain non-standard keys. The Shield doesn't support mouse scrolling either so there's no way yet for Limelight to either.

You should have a SHIELD option on the left side panel in preferences. It might be worth browsing the GeForce forums about similar issues. This is outside of Limelight's domain now; it looks like a bug in Nvidia's software.

If you're connected via Bluetooth without any configuration changes, you'll have your square, circle, etc buttons messed up. The default SixAxis mapping has all of the buttons rotated. You can go into the SixAxis app and remap them properly.
[Shield General] CapnBry:
I'm also trying to troubleshoot a lack of "GameStream" in my preferences despite the NVIDA app saying that Game Streaming is ready. The nvstreamsvr.exe never starts listening on port 47989 for some reason.

In your reverse engineering, did you find a way to enable logging in the nvstreamsrv windows service? I see lots of log messages in the executable and I'm hoping that I'll be able to figure out what it doesn't like so I can play over limelight.
[Shield General] gman901:
I finally got gamestreaming to appear in my preferences by uninstalling the GeForce Experience, deleting the Nvidia Folder on C: and re-installing a clean version of the latest driver. It shows that the option is to only stream to SHIELD devices. So it works with my Shield that I recently purchased; however when I tried to connect Limelight to my PC, I got a message stating the client denied access. Is this something new? Can I not use both the Shield and my Android phone on the same PC? I had my Shield powered off when I tried to connect.
[Shield General] CapnBry:
gman inspired me to try reinstalling the drivers a couple more times and the process worked! I think the secret was to start from a clean install and installing by starting with the nvidia 335.23 driver install, which installs geforce experience 1.8.2.1. I had been using the geforce experience install from the nvidia site which installs 1.8.2.0 which wasn't working.

Full details are on the nvidia site of what I did. This limelight is awesome!
[Shield General] gman901:
Cool! I think that's the first time I ever was useful on this Site! :) Hey, so I am wondering if I should return my Shield and keep using Limelight with my Sony Ultra? The only think is that when I tried to connect my Ultra, I got a denied message in Limelight. I don't want to screw up a good thing I have right now with the Shield, but if Limelight does the same thing, I would prefer to save $150 and have a bigger screen!
[Shield General] aklmie:
Awesome, I saw your patch on GitHub, but didn't try it. In fact, I never played with Java and don't know how to compile it. I think I need to download the appropriate JDK (which version) and something like eclipse IDE ?

For my question about more resolutions, I quickly scroll your code and saw that some methods seems to exist and allow to choose the streaming resolution. Am I right, or is it restricted by the streaming protocol ?

Many thanks again for this really cool project and your patch,

Regards

any news on the april 2 update of geforce experience?

Hello guys,

Any news on the support for streaming on laptops?
[Shield General] cgutman:
The project is built with Eclipse and has project files there if you want to import it.

Last time I tried, the resolution stuff was very flexible on the PC-side. I think someone modified the code at one point to start a 640x480 stream for fun. The config code needs to be modified to handle different resolutions but that's fairly minor, especially if you're sticking around 720p60 which is the default config.

Nvidia has delayed the update to the 7th. https://forums.geforce.com/default/...ment-status-on-shield-april-software-update-/

Thanks for the update dude, My geforce experience wont launch at all. It was working fine 2 days ago now it wont launch :/.
[Shield General] Motawa88:
it still crashes on my n7100 with 1080p
[Shield General] Ponziani:
I just sideloaded the latest Limelight.apk onto my Amazon Fire TV, and (somewhat surprisingly) it works great and supports the Fire TV's gaming controller! I was able to do 720p/60 and 1080p/30 streaming of Borderlands 2 from my PC; 1080p/60 was beyond the unit's capabilities, however. The only annoyance is that sideloaded apps don't show up in the apps menu of the Fire TV; instead, you have to go into the unit's Settings menu to find and start the Limelight app...but that's a small price to pay for big-screen streaming.

I should note that I did not test streaming over wireless...my Fire TV is using wired Ethernet.
[Shield General] cgutman:
I was thinking about getting one of these for testing Limelight. I looked into the hardware and controller documentation and it looked like it would work on paper, but it's nice to get confirmation that it works on the real thing. Props to Amazon for using the standard Android controller button and axis mapping.

I also looked at getting Limelight on the Amazon app store for Kindle Fire tablets and Fire TV. I need to read the guidelines to make sure that it won't be rejected for missing some functionality. Hopefully, it'll be up in the next few weeks.

Binding ESC Key - Android

I'm attempting to get Limelight on Android working using emulators server-side. So far, after some messing around, I have had a surprising amount of luck by simply launching the emulator exe from Steam. However, I have found that changing between games is tricky since there is no menu to quit from a rom like your standard PC game. The only way to do it from my Android client is to press the Xbox menu button, which ultimately, crashes Limelight. This is not the most convenient way of doing things.

For pretty much every emulator, it is possible to exit the current rom or pull up a menu by pressing the ESC key on the keyboard. So, I came up with the idea of trying to bind two keys to ESC in the same manner as the Back+Start buttons are bound to bring up the Steam overlay.

I have been digging around in the source files and stumbled upon how this is achieved. I'd like to bind the function to something like pressing down on both analog sticks since this is, essentially, never done in-game. In package com.limelight.binding.input would it be possible to include:

First off, let me start by saying that I have no idea if these would be the correct lines of code. My knowledge of programming is pretty minimal. Does anyone else more knowledgeable have a take on this? I'd try to compile it myself, but again, not exactly sure how to go about doing that.

Thanks for making such an incredible app! I'm amazed at how easy and functional it is to use.

Limelight & Moga = Stream Stuttering

hi there

if i connect my moga pro to my note 3 or nvidia shield, i will get wifi issues while using limelight. the stream is stuttering very hard, games or not playable. My first thought was that maybe my router is the problem, but i have tested another one and became the same result.

Anyone the same problem? Any suggestion how to fix that?
[Shield General] Motawa88:
is there a way to get diablo 3 working?
[Shield General] cgutman:
This is related to Bluetooth sharing the same antenna as WiFi. When both of them are used at the same time, wireless performance suffers. It's often not noticeable with normal streaming programs because they buffer a few seconds of video. If you use a USB OTG Ethernet adapter or controller, it should work fine.

If you add the Diablo 3 launcher to Steam, it should work fine. Android mouse support isn't great so that might be a problem, but Limelight-PC works great for this.
[Shield General] freddiemercury1:
Thanks! I opted the "use as native android gamepad" and it worked for Arkham origins. I had to change the order of the square,circle.... to get it same as xbox one. I will try the sleeping dogs one later but I think it should work! Thanks!:laugh:
[Shield General] el3c:
thx for that information!!! USB OTG does not work with my note 3 :( ...the only solution i have found was to enabling usb tethering. But usb 2.0 is not enough for 1080p streaming :(

any other suggestions? is it possible to connect my moga pro via usb instead of bluetooth?

cause i realy hate the display of my shield in comparison to my note 3.
[Shield General] SimoxTav:
The new GameStream update for Shield is out, I hope to see all the improvement also on Limelight :laugh::good:
[Shield General] gcharlie84:
This happened with my MotoX and MogaHero. A solid solution for me was using 5ghz. It may limit your range but I was able to get flawless performance when my PC and Android where both dipping into the routers 5ghz signal as opposed tot he 2.4ghz. bluetooth works on a 2.4ghz frequency so its always going to have an effect on other 2.4ghz devices, the same way that wifi can jam some wireless security cam feeds. So if your wifi is operating on a 5ghz frequency, it means your bluetooth devices wont interfere.

[Shield General] kazooie5659:
Hey all, I just downloaded Limelight earlier today when I saw the new GeForce Experience update. It paired and opened perfectly the first time I opened and ran the app, but then when I launched Skyrim, nothing happened and it stayed at the Big Picture loading screen forever, so I Alt+F4'd out of it, rebooted my laptop, and now when I hit 'Start Streaming Steam!' it opens the Shield app, but then just stays at the loading screen for about 30 seconds and then crashes and gives an "App Failed To Start" error on the phone.

Sorry if this problem has been stated before, I just made an account on XDA (finally) to post my problem since this is a popular 'beta' kind of app.

EDIT: Error Code 527 is the one that's thrown.

EDIT 2: I fixed it! Turns out that having it set to run as an Administrator automatically through the application's preferences was causing some kind of problem with the Shield app opening properly. Disabling that allows the app to boot properly. Now the only problem is apps that have launchers (ie. Hotline Miami, Skyrim, etc.)
[Shield General] cgutman:
Seems like it might be an issue with Steam. Is it enrolled in beta updates?
