Hmm, that's odd. So my preferences screen looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/9ob3j1I.png

So you don't have that GameStream menu?

Which graphics card is your computer running?
[Shield General] nk33:
i dont think this matters. Even if your card doesnt support streaming, it still appears in the list if you have GFE installed
[Shield General] laandennis:
I've got an Asus GTX 760

I can see my computer in fing etc. and i have a static ip adress on both devices
[Shield General] nk33:
ok - here may lie the problem....whay have you assigned your phone a static address? Let it get one automatically please...i think you may have the subnet wrong
[Shield General] laandennis:
it doesn't change a thing (rebooted router and phone too after the change)
[Shield General] nk33:
ok, heres a thought....have you tried using limelight.jar for the pc and pairing it that way and see if it pairs...?
[Shield General] laandennis:
no luck either, on the same pc and another pc I can't pair.

So it isn't the phone but the host PC, right ??

i will try to reinstall GFE and put the results in here

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

Thank god, it works...

so when you don't have the game stream menu, reinstall GFE !!!

thanks for your support guys
[Shield General] nk33:
Mate no problem - for some reason I thought you had already tried to uninstall and re-install GFE - otherwise I would have asked you to do that from the get-go

anyway - glad you got it working in the end.
[Shield General] Inty4:
Okay this might be already asked (I haven't read all the pages on this post), or glaringly obvious, but is there a way to make the phone/tablets screen act as a touchscreen? So you could use play games like Civilization V with touch controls, not a mouse. Or is it not supported by nvidia? And if not, do you guys know if any other app could support something like this, like not being restricted to steams big screen mode, and being able to use the windows 8+ metro touchscreen interface? Because that would be great.
[Shield General] MrEzechiel:
I have an HTC ONE M7 (the old one) and i have the same problem as the guy with the M8. My phone wont connect to my pc saying that it cant connect to the specified pc and that it could be the ports or a firewall. I have turned all firewalls off also the one in the router. I manually forwarded all the ports in the router aswell. I reinstalled GFE and my drivers. Pairing via PC also does not work. My GFE didn't show game stream at first but it does now after a reinstall. Some system specs: i7 3770, MSI Gtx 770 Gaming, MSI z77 gd65 mobo, 8 gigs ddr3 1600 ram.

One other pc on the network does show up and my phone can connect to it although that pc has an old GT 9500 or so card and no GFE.

I have no clue what the problem could be.
[Shield General] laandennis:
so you can't find your game pc but you can find another one without GFE ?? do I read it right ?
[Shield General] nk33:
Sorry mate this makes no sense because if GFE is not installed that pc wont show up. Perhaps you have the 2 mixed up? Also, is it a BT router by any chance?
[Shield General] MrEzechiel:
Yea i should rephrase that. My phone sees the pc without a new gpu and GFE but it cannot connect to it. It shows up in the list though. My gaming pc with GFE and gtx770 does not show up in the list. When i try to mannualy add it with the ip adres it won't connect because of the problem stated before.

I forgot to mention that i tried to connect with a galaxy s4 of a friend of mine and on his phone my gaming pc also did not show up on the list and couldnt be manually added due to the same problem.

I think the problem lies with the pc not the phones.
[Shield General] nielo360:
EDIT 2 only 1080p 30 and 720p 30 fps mode work with note 2014 exynos hardware mode. 60 fps freezes the screen. It works in software mode at 60 but blurry.

Edit only 1080p hardware decoder works it does not work with hardware decoder at 720p it jus frezzes i thought it was some setting with interaction control but no its limelight tha has a bug.

The latest update broke support for hardware decoding on samsung note 2014 editon exynos version, any chance for a fix? It jus freezes the screen in hardware mode.
[Shield General] nk33:
ok mate - in that case try this:

1) uninstall GFE

2) restart pc

3) download the latest nvidia drivers and install them but make sure you tick "clean install" - this will remove the old drivers and any signs of NVIDIA completely, ask you to reboot...when it reboots it should automatically start installing the new drivers and a fresh copy of GFE. do another reboot and there is no reason why your pc should not appear in the list and connect

Hi,

Not sure whats going on but the android version of Limelight for me is smooth - and that is over wifi...

my question is why, when i have a GB LAN and a very decent PC, when i use the PC version of limelight, it is really jerky etc?

thanks

[Shield General] oysta1109:
I encounter this problem when i try to stream to my lg g3.

if i stream locally theres no problem at all. smooth at 1080p60

but when i try to stream remotely, with either LTE or WiFi at work,

it streams very smoothly for abo[ut 5 seconds and then touch screen mouse went dead, and then another 5 seconds the screen just froze.

I have tried quite a few times and getting exact same result.

Is anyone there having the same issue?

spec

streaming to a lg g3

netgear r8000 router

local wifi: works perfect

remote: LTE/Wifi streams smooth for 5 seconds then start to bog down and eventually froze.
[Shield General] nk33:
Best bet before troubleshooting would be to try with a different device first and see if the same thing still happens. If it does then you know its not the phone.

I would then move on to bandwidth issues - what upload speed have you got? When u connect with LG remotely are you using wifi or 3g or 4g?
[Shield General] oysta1109:
Thank you for the advice regarding troubleshooting. unfortunately currently i only have 1 device.

connecting remotely i was using 4g and wifi with same results.
[Shield General] nk33:
Is the host pc connected via wifi or ethernet cable?
[Shield General] cgutman:
Can you get a logcat log of Limelight freezing and PM it to me?

Also please try older versions from 2.5.3.1. Keeping going back a version until you find the latest version that it worked: https://github.com/limelight-stream/limelight-android/releases

[Shield General] NapalmDawn:
I used Limelight on my Nvidia Note last night and picked Steam. It took me to Steam's Big Picture mode. No matter what I had highlighted on the screen (store, library, etc) any time I tapped my screen as a left click, my friends list came up. I could close the friend's list and such but then back on big pic mode, every tap gave me friend's list every time. Anybody have any ideas? I had gotten Steam's version of Shadowrun thinking that might be a nice game to stream to a tablet but I couldn't get to that point to launch it via Steam
[Shield General] MalaBouM:

[Shield General] Kaitaru:
Just picked up a nvidia shield and later found out that the GTX 670M gfx card I had did not support the Nvidia game stream software. So if I am reading this correctly I just need Geforce Experience 2.0 or higher and can stream anything to my shield with the limelight app? Granted this is true, how does limelight stack against Kainy and Splashtop THD? I want to stream Archeage and FFXI to my Nvidia shield so I would like controller support too :<.
[Shield General] cgutman:
I'm looking into it.

UPDATE: It's already up and running. The change to fix was pretty simple. I'm putting some finishing touching on it before pushing a new limelight-common and updating PC and Android releases. This release will be backwards compatible with GFE 2.1.1.x too :)

UPDATE 2: I'm using this opportunity to implement a much needed feature that brings us much closer to what Shield Hub can do. It's needed for GFE 2.1.2 because 2.1.2 seems to cut bitrate very drastically depending on network performance. The upside is that I've seen GameStream work in environments that it would have never done so before, but the downside is reduced image quality. On the plus side, it cuts latency in half on my Qualcomm devices :)
[Shield General] MalaBouM:

[Shield General] cgutman:
I ended up holding off on resolution scaling for now. I wanted to get a new version out for GFE 2.1.2. I'll look into the issues again later.

Sure, it could definitely stream to the Note 4 with Gear VR.
[Shield General] Kaitaru:
Still no thoughts on how this works vs other apps like Kainy and Splashtop THD?

[Shield General] johndr:
need help :(

I still got the error message but i was never able to understand.. the solution posted about the guy having the fixxed it is the same across every forum.. well i have ONLY ONE partition and still getting the error.. i noticed that is after i install the latest GFE (2.1.2). With 2.1.1 its fine..

Edit: the update solved the problem! :)
[Shield General] Attreyu:
From 70ms to 40-50ms on Snapdragon 801/Adreno 330 / tested on Oppo Find 7 and Xperia Z2.

Also on Nexus 7 - 2013, the latency is very much improved.

Still nowhere near Tegra 2 which is 3 years old, not to mention newer chipsets. Can't understand why.
[Shield General] NapalmDawn:
Anybody have any guesses on this? Would I have to navigate Steam's big picture mode using a keyboard only? To get around this, I added Shadowrun to GFE directly and could play it from there.

Edit-I see what the issue was. There was a dos box that appeared and it seemed to be blocking input even if I was at the PC itself. One I tabbed over to that window and closed it, I could operate steam's big pic mode. However, in using my TF700, I paired with GFE, connected fine but my screen was blank on the TF700. If I moved the pad on the keyboard or moved on the touchscreen, the cursor would move on the PC but I was just at a black screen. Any ideas on that? My limelight was set to 720 with 60 fps.
[Shield General] DeenPrecious:
Windows RT / Surface 2

Oh god, I would freaking love having this on my Surface 2 device. Streaming games from my PC to my Surface would be really awesome, cause I got already a keyboard with it, plugging Mouse in or using a Xbox 360 Controller and your good to go.

Do we see this app by any chance in the windows store?

Hope getting a reply! Ty!

mate there is only a beta version of this app for pc. Click link below and make sure you have Java installed and use the same version as the version of java you have. note you probably have a 64 bit version of windows but your java may still be 32 bit - so download the 32 bit one:

https://github.com/limelight-stream/limelight-pc/releases

forgot to add - you must have full version of windows - not RT version...
[Shield General] davew:
Is there a way to get support or help with the PC version? I'm running the 20th September beta on a MacBook Pro (late 2009) in Windows 7 via bootcamp and no matter what I set the bitrate slider to I get what could only described as 8-bit colour depth.

On my Nexus 7 2013 the android version looks great, however. Is there any way to fix this?

Kind regards

Dave
[Shield General] nk33:
The PC version of this is just in Beta mode anyway so is only smooth at the best of times - let alone you running it on VM will make it even worse.

Need to change your settings on the VM if your hardware can handle it that is!!
[Shield General] retardbatman:
Runs great on my Nexus 7 2012 & 2013, and Nexus 5.

I was wondering if anyone of you knows of a way to run the streaming host in windowed mode with a forced resolution? I'm currently running Nvidia surround at 5910x1080 and it can get a bit messy sometimes when it wants to change resolutions etc.

Would be awesome to see some way to have the host just capture f.x. 1920x1080 in the middle of what's available and stream that. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but unfortunately from what I've read that seems to be a limitation on Nvidia's side?
[Shield General] davew:
VM? my MacBook Pro is dual boot :confused: and "smoothness" is not the issue here, colour depth is.
[Shield General] EGBTMagus:
Yeah both my tablet and PC are on the same network (tablet is WiFi, PC hardwired to router). Using the internal network static IP of my desktop and I have the geforce experience software installed along with the newest drivers (since I'm a nvidia user).

I've also tried my G2 and its giving me the same error, so its either my network acting up or something with the streaming software on my PC. I've tried rebooting and scanning for games trick as well. I don't have any firewall software on my PC running either.
[Shield General] Chaosgod27:

"Connection error

Would any kind soul give me a push in the right direction? :)
[Shield General] ZenInsight:
Question-

Anyone in here try all three techniques?

1. Shield streaming

2. Splashtop THD streaming

3. Limelight streaming

I have seen SplashTop stream (the HD version, and it seems to run at about 20fps. I don't know how much better the THD version is. Nor have I seen Shield or Limelight working.

Opinions?
[Shield General] Speedy Gonzalez:
tried shield streaming on the shield and it was running at 45fps at least until update 63 that broke streaming

tried splashtop thd on the shield and I wasn't impressed there was a lot of artifacts and bad framerate

tried limelight apk like shield streaming on my note 3 and is just as good as the shield was before 63 but the note 3 has a superior screen

and is awesome how games look and run
[Shield General] ZenInsight:
How are you using the controller aspect for the games? Bluetooth on the Note 3...or is this JUST a screen image stream with no interactive controls through the device receiving the stream?
[Shield General] Speedy Gonzalez:
yes Bluetooth with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en

the native android gamepad is recognized as the shield controller

note:the triangle square circle x are inverted but you can remap those in sixaxis app

if you want to mount your phone or tablet to the ps3 controller you need one of these http://buy.thegameklip.com/
[Shield General] grassyloki:
same problem on my s4. it worked once then never again
[Shield General] Chaosgod27:
Could be firewall issue, or the fact you need to restart Nvidia's streaming service in services manager.

That error is most likely a firewall issue.
[Shield General] Ganfalb:
I have tried and disabled all everything that should be able to block or interfere with it, but it didn't work..

The only thing it did was that I seemed to get the handshake error faster than before.

Restarted the service a lot of times on a lot of attempts, even restarted the computer, but no dice.

Thanks for your response though :)

Anything else you could think of that could maybe help me get it working?

Edit:

Got something working

I can now get past the handshake error, and when I press the stream button on my phone or tablet my comuter reacts to the signal and starts Steam in big picture mode.

It then proceeds to a control connection, but when it tries to get the stream footage it fails. "Starting video stream failed"

From what I can see, Steam seems to think that it is actually streaming, since after it gives me the error message I can still tell steam to stop streaming.

I get a window opening with my sound devices about a connection to a virtual nvidia sound device.
[Shield General] jchangarirang:
I get that 'Starting Handshake Failed' Error

I tried all the requirement but still get that

"Connection error Starting handshake failed" error.

any help?

I am still trying, but no luck yet.

I will post here if I figure it out. Though I can say that to get past the handshake error I tried to start a stream when I was already in Steam "big picture" mode. That resolved that part at least. The streaming part itself.. Thats still a problem. But I'll post here when I know more :)

Limelight for Jetson TK1?

I didn't read all the 139 pages in this thread but I did some searching and couldn't find the answers I'm looking for. So sorry if I'm asking old questions.

I would like to try out Limelight on Jetson TK1 (Tegra K1) running Ubuntu 14.04. It has X.Org with OpenGL, OpenGL ES and for video there's only OpenMAX. Using CPU decoding for starters would be just fine.

Any quick pointers how to try configure the build for that? I'm an Eclipse newbie so I don't mind getting detailed answers :)

Thanks.

Is there anything you can do to make it easier to use this when im not at home, Id love to be able to try this over 4G, something similar to splashtop where you just put your gmail account in and it can just discover your ip address and machine by itself, that would make this amazing...
