Tell me more about the unexpected error message. Is it an error message Limelight generates or is it a "Limelight has crashed" message from Android?

The "persistent warning" issue was known a while back. Basically the issue is that we generate a toast after a certain number of dropped frames with a backoff threshold to prevent constant warnings. If the particular loss pattern isn't well handled by the backoff, we'll generate toasts faster than they disappear. This causes a huge backlog of toasts that Android will keep displaying one after another. That gives the illusion that it's one toast that never goes away. I've known this could happen but it was fairly low priority since I had avoided most of the issues with the backoff. Maybe it's time I fix it properly now.
[Shield General] bluegizmo83:
The toast message staying on the screen occasionally really isn't that big of a deal.

As for the unexpected error, I'm pretty sure it's Limelight generated. It's the same message I have always gotten (and still get) everytime I quit a game or close steam big picture from limelight at the end of my gaming sessions, but it recently started happening in the middle of gaming as well and it kicks me back to the limelight main screen, and then I click on my game again and rejoin it in progress.

The error is title is: Connection Terminated

The error message is: The connection failed unexpectedly

IPEGA 9021 controller issue

Hi, is there scope for dev for more controller support? Using this on my galaxy S4 I connect the Bluetooth in gamepad mode and using a native gamepad test app - all buttons function correctly and so do analogue sticks. When using Limelight in this mode the analogue sticks work and the digital pad does too, but the buttons haven't passed through to the game. To describe this better, whilst in game I hit "B" limelight terminates the connection as if I had hit the "back" button. By default in android the b button, when navigating around the OS with gamepad, is "back"

I'm running KITKAT by the way, but really don't want to "root" my device.

Any help would be awesome, I'm nearly there!

:good::good::good::D:good::good::good:
[Shield General] cgutman:
Sounds like the controller mapping is correct, but it's detecting your gamepad as a keyboard. See if this build fixes it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jph2mdpqxxu9uxb/Limelight-newinput.apk

Hi guys, I have the same problem with bluegizmo83.

The error title is: Connection Terminated

The error message is: The connection failed unexpectedly

The stream connects well, steam comes up, and I can control the stream...for a few seconds. Then it's terminated suddenly.

Oh, and It's windows PC version. I wonder what's the problem?

OK I have no idea why, but it suddenly works fine. What happened...?
[Shield General] max676:
At least for LG G2 D802: The app "Sixaxis Controller" causes a complete A/V loss for a few seconds about every Minute. It took me a while to find that issue.

Even if you connect the sixaxis controller with usb cable and Sixaxis bluetooth service not running. after removing Sixaxis Controller App, its working like a charme.
[Shield General] GrayBoltWolf:
Same issue here.

[Shield General] funkym0nk3y:
Hey, thanks for making this wonderful application. I'm constantly using it on Shield for streaming, the latest update fixed alot of data loss issues, however they still persist, but lesser now. However with the latest update, the shield back button is acting as back action button while streaming too, i.e. it doesnt functions as select. As soon as i press the back (select) button, it takes me back to limelight game list. If used in conjunction with sixaxis app with dualshock3 over bluetooth, it works fine.

M using my shield in console mode with wifi connected to my 5ghz router with my pc connected via gigabit lan. I have one more question to ask about network configuration, i have a TP-LINK WDR3600 router and a Dlink DIR-850L (AC) both are 5ghz router. I have tried playing via both routers, but the data loss issue still remains, if i upgrade to a router with 2x2 MIMO specs (xiaomi r1d), would that help alot ?

EGPU update.

Guys, Just wanted to update that the app rocks!! I have been using this on my external GPU/thinkpad x220 with a 660TI on my nexus 4 and it is smooth as butter. I set the resolution to 720p on my nexus 4 and to 1080 on my wife's note 3. I would love to donate to the development team. I dod not find any donation link, I will readily buy a paid version too!! Thanks.

Hi

Just discovered this thread after searching Google for a non locked version of NVIDIA's Gamestream.

This seems to tick all the boxes, but if I want to connect my XBOX one controller to my LG G Pad to play games do I need to buy an OTG cable? Is there any other software required if I want to play my games this way?

Thanks
[Shield General] tallnerd1985:
Nope, Android has generic support for the Xbox 360 USB receiver. The only issue is the home button on controller always blinks. Other than that, it works great, even on the Amazon FireTV :)
[Shield General] majnu:
Thanks. I guess you mean No to the software? As I can't think of any other way to pair the xbox one controller to the Android device.

Try opening the ports mentioned in the link above
[Shield General] cgutman:
My software decoder doesn't show up on that list since it's built into the app itself. I think AVCDecoder is just an alias for Google's software decoder. There's probably a small bug in the prefix matching which makes it not block exact matches.

It should run very well on Tegra 4 devices. I've tested on my Shield and it seems to run just as fast as the official app from Nvidia. Mouse is supported, but keyboard isn't yet (although it's being worked on). The one downside of using the mouse in Android is that there seems to be no official documented way to hide it which means you'll be seeing 2 pointers while you play.

Right now the config data we send is just a big blob of data that we captured from the real Shield with Wireshark. I was working on getting that properly parsed and made into a format where it could be easily modified. Once that happens, we'll be able to tweak all sorts of things like resolution, bitrate, and maximum fps (although it's likely that only certain values of each are supported by the PC-side software).
[Shield General] sofakng:
Thanks for the response again.

Last question -- Any plans on porting this to x86? For example, to be able to use a MacBook and stream GFE to it, etc.

Does not work. I tried several times and no matter what I do Geforce experience says it has to up date after reboot. Even if you uncheck run after install it still runs before reboot.
[Shield General] cgutman:
Try terminating the daemonu.exe process in Task Manager before rebooting.
[Shield General] nrage23:
I will try but Experience starts during the install. I closed it twice before the install finished.

Update:

Still no luck I tried twice more. The Experience program starts during the install and I supposes check for updates faster than I can close it. I closed it as soon as it popped up. I finished the install. Copied the xml file, did the registry hack, and ended the daemonu.exe process. I rebooted and immediately get the GeForce Experience has and update notification. It may leave something in the registry after uninstalling that there is a newer version.

Loving the work. Tried this last night on my Nexus 7 (2013). My PC has a Geforce 770. The playback was very good indeed - better than Splashtop THD, which I used when I had my N7 (2012). The lag was only a fraction of a second, although this might make fast action games difficult. Very, very good though, and extremely easy to use.

Would happily donate to support ongoing development of this project.

[Shield General] cgutman:
Can you see if the latest commit in CPU-AVC makes anything faster on your Tegra 3 tablet?
[Shield General] danielb7390:
Seems good. Still has occasional missing blocks. Lag seems good enough.

Faster or not is hard to say it was already quite fast!

everytime i try it i get this error: failed to connect to (my ip) (port 47989) after 5000 ms: isconnected failed: ECONNREFUSED ( Connection refused)

It does not matter if i open my ports or not. Geforce experience is on 1.7.
[Shield General] cgutman:
Open GeForce Experience and make sure it says your computer is compatible with GameStream. If it does, check if you see the "Streaming" option on the left side of the "Preferences" tab in GFE. If you don't, try rebooting your computer. I've seen this GFE bug a few times and only a reboot seems to solve it.
[Shield General] sthij:
I have a gtx 670 so it should be compatible and yes it does say streaming.

I forgot to say that i have a nexus 4. (rooted stock rom)

[Shield General] tallnerd1985:
If you have the PC USB receiver for the Xbox 360 controller, then all the pairing is done on the receiver itself. Other than that, if you have the PC edition wired Xbox 360 controller, it plugs in just like the wireless receiver.

P.S.

To clarify as well on the wireless 360 controller, the wired cable that sometimes come with the controller is for power only, no data connections in the cord itself because the controller only runs on RF signal, no Bluetooth or WiFi direct.

Impressions and issues with an iPega 9025 controller:

Device 1 - Moto G 8GB - Unusable. Controller inputs are detected fine but lag is unbearable and the usual latency toast pops up pretty much constantly. No such issues when the controller isn't synced and BT is turned off, so putting this one down to hardware issue and unfixable.

Device 2 - Tegra Note 7. Streaming is fine but no controller input is registered. Controller seems to randomly desync, but whether it's connected or not no inputs are registered by the host. Connected in HID mode and confirmed working by testing with PPSSPP.

Honestly not sure why inputs are being registered via one device and not via the other.
[Shield General] tallnerd1985:
Yeah, they sell the combo either on amazon or Best Buy for $45 that has a Wireless controller and USB receiver that would work for what you are trying to do.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004QRKWKQ/ref=pd_aw_sims_4?pi=SS115&simLd=1

The Xbox 360 Controller is the best compatible controller and won't interfere with the WiFi connection. For some reason, most Android devices have both the Bluetooth and WiFi radios on the same chip so when both are on and connected, it causes a lot of interference. Stay away from BT controllers because they are not worth the headache.

TF701 white screen every minutes

Hello! I have a small problem that I thought solved by buying a TF701 with tegra 4.

here's how to start my network consists.

Pc host:

cpu Phenom 1190 X6 or FX8350

gpu GTX 660

8GB of ram

samsung ssd 840

connected to a router DIR 850L in lan gigabyte

Android Client: TF701 connected with 5GHz dual band wifi conection n at 150mb or LG G2 connected with 5 ghz dual band AC conection at 440mb.

With a moga pro controller i have some drop fame every minutes at 720p/60fps, same at 720p/30, 1080/30 and 1080/60 with 40ms latency.

After reading, some post confirm that issues with G2. It's became a conflict with bluetooth and wifi. Ok i tested with a xbox controler connected directly to the host, same issues.

ok, I bought a TF701 with tegra 4.

Now i have a very small latency, 720/60 2 or 3 ms, 1080/30 4 or 5ms and 1080/60 5 or 6ms... whoo great !

but i have a white screen every minutes, with moga connected to tf701 or xbox controler connected to tf701 or connected directly to the host, same issues.

I'm desperate, I do not see what can not go in my configuration. I live in the country, no box wifi parasitize mine.

I have a diNovo keyboard bluetooth, do you think it may cause interference?

I also have an IP camera connected with cpl plugs directly to my box internet connected to dir850 wan router. Do you think this may be the cause of the problem?

I also tried to configure the QoS mode DIR850 hoping that the problem be stuck. I am not sure of the configuration but in any case with these settings the problem is less frequent. can look at my setup and tell me if it looks ok.

Here is a picture of my QoS configuration:

Are my specs supported?

Hello,

I was looking at a laptop i could buy and i wanted to know if the specs that it has supports limelight. What I wanted to do is stream my games from my laptop onto my OUYA so i can play games like Borderlands 2 onto it. These are the specs of the laptop I wanted to buy:

NVIDIA GeForce GT 720M, 2GB

8GB RAM

Dual-core Intel Core i7-3537U

2.0GHz to 3.1GHz with Turbo Boost

Would these work or would I have to get other ones?

And also, do the games I get have to be from the store in the OUYA because in one of the photos i saw i saw that there was a store but i actually had some CDs that i wanted to play with instead, since i didn't want to buy my games again.

Your statement here about Bluetooth controllers, does that apply only to 2.4Ghz WiFi?

I love limelight but I can't use it at home on my Nexus 5 over same network local wifi while I'm using my Moga Pro Bluetooth controller. Works fine with a wired Xbox 360 controller though. I assumed my old wireless-n 2.4Ghz router was the issue, so I am planning to buy a Netgear R6250 AC1600 router because I thought I'd be able to easily stream in home with that while using my Moga Pro.

Gamepad problem with non GFE games

Hi everyone !

I'm currently having an issue with limelight launched on a Asus transformer pad with a wired Xbox USB controller (not OTG, a classic USB connection via the keyboard).

I don't have any trouble whatsoever in making the soft working with GFE scanned games like Skyrim, whether it is launched separately or through steam. But when it comes to a non GFE game (scanned by GFE but not included on the GFE library), it is not working anymore.

As an example, I tried with Sonic & All Star Racing Transformed. The game has been integrated in steam as a non steam game and is not integrated in GFE library. Tried to launch it through steam with limelight. The controller is working well at the steam library choice step, but the second I launch the game, the streaming continues without any gamepad support.

However, the asus keyboard works but not all the keys (I can accelerate with ctrl, run backwards with space and that's pretty much it, no way to turn with the arrow keys, although it's working with my computer keyboard...?)

I also noticed that the commands for this games are set through an external launcher.exe, is that the reason why my Xbox Pad is not working on android ?

And why the hell the arrow keys are not mapped when ctrl and space keys are ?

I've searched any similar issue on this topic without success, so any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance ! ;)
[Shield General] tallnerd1985:
It will be the same issue for most phone models out there due to the manufacturer because of the cheap parts they use for the BT/WiFi antennas, especially the N5. 5 GHz will improve it but will still interfere and expected packet losses will occur.
[Shield General] Attreyu:
How do you measure the exact latency in order to come up with those numbers ?

Nope.

Only GTX boards are supported for GameStream. GT boards are not. So you need a laptop with a GTX board, like the Lenovo Y50 or MSI Ghost or Alienware.

I have an LG Gpad 8.3 Android 4.4.2.

- When using a wired 360 controller (Not XBOX One) plugged into my Android device using an OTG cable, I can navigate the "desktop" but when I launch Limelight and go into a game like Metro Last Light for example I cannot use my controller at all.

- When my controller is plugged in all the "syncronisation" lights are flashing. Could that be the problem? I don't think it is personally as that is only when it's trying to pair itself to a receiver, which I am not using.

Any info or help to fix would be appreciated.

Hey, could you add a way to change how the touch input works? Right now the screen acts like a touchpad, but the click sensitivity is like really bad and it's hard to make the mouse click sometimes.

What I want tho is the screen to act like a touchscreen instead, so move the mouse to the x,y coordinate of the touch and then click as long as you are touching, this simplifies everything and it would let me play Hearthstone on my phone.
