So I have run into the same problem I have read about in the last few pages. I was trying to connect to my PC with the Android app and it wouldn't connect telling me to check the firewall. My PC is a laptop that is verified working with Gamestream (used it with a Shield a month or so ago before I sold it). I was connecting to my router through a wifi dongle because the built in wifi on the laptop is flaky. I used 3 Android devices and they all gave me the same issue. So I plugged the PC into ethernet (actually its ethernet to a 5GHz wireless bridge but to the PC is thinks it is hardwired) and all of the sudden the PC shows up in the Android app. So something is screwy going on when the PC is connected through wifi vs ethernet. Wanted to share to see if it helps anyone else or maybe there is a fix?

How fast is your 4G how many Mb/s do you know how fast your pc upload is, trying to figure out how fast you need it to be for it to be really playable, I think child of light or transistor work really well..

Be interesting if Limelight had on screen joysticks, make it very usable

Host PC up speed is 10MB, 4g on my phone usually get around 40-50mb download
[Shield General] 5H00T4:
Is there a special reason why Limelight is not available on Fire TV in Germany via the Amazon Appstore?

Does it need to be enabled especially?

Just asking because of the convenience, I have sideloaded it for now and it works.

But using the controller natively would be great.

Cheers.

I have got a problem. I am trying to use a USB mouse with my TF300T connected to the dock USB port. It works fine but I see the black android mouse cursor on the screen when i use the mouse and when I run a game that just uses mouse to move, I can move only till the black android cursor hits one of the screen corners. Would it be possible to just remove the android cursor and I dont know, directly transfer my mouse position to PC? Or something like that. Cause I would like to play games with a mouse and WASD on my dock, not a controller :D Thanks

Hi,

I bought the bigben stg one tablet controller.

Sadly the controller has some mapping problems in HID Mode.

First the mapping is wrong not like on a xbox 360 controller.

Left is B

Up is A

Down X

Right doesn't work at all. Some input debugging tool says "keycode 98 button_c"

Is there any way to remap these buttons ? Dumpsys says the controller use the generic keylayout.

Second problem the l2 and r2 trigger also doesn't work.

The debug tool says the buttons trigger axis 14 axis_rz from -1 to 1

And there is a little bigger deadzone for example in limelight app. Local games like dead trigger doesnt have this deadzone problem.

Does someone have any idear how to fix this?

Thx & greetings

Hello,

since the update of drivers geforce 344.11, gfe 2.1.2 and limelight in 2.5.5 I have very good performance with Qualcomm processors (s800 lg g2) my latency is almost halved.

the problem of Bluetooth interference seems to have disappeared !!!

with tegra 4 performances are underperforming, latency is increased in 720p/60 from 3ms to 9ms with enormously loss of framerate. in 1080/60 it's just unplayable the latency is increased from 5ms to 11ms with lots of lags.

I have tested with:

drivers 344.11

gfe 2.1.2

limelight 2.5.5

same issues on tegra 4

latency 720/60 : 9ms with lots of drop frames

latency 1080/60: 11ms totaly unplayable

drivers 340.11

gfe 2.1.2

limelight 2.5.5

same issues on tegra 4

latency 720/60 : 9ms with lots of drop frames

latency 1080/60: 11ms totaly unplayable

drivers 340.11

gfe 2.1.1

limelight 2.5.5

latency 720/60 : 9ms with lots of drop frames

latency 1080/60: 11ms totaly unplayable

drivers 340.11

gfe 2.1.1

limelight 2.5.4 and 2.5.4.1 rooted

latency 720/60: 2ms !

latency 1080/60: 5ms !!!

its back to normal, performances are great on tegra devices.

Can't add PC Manually

Hi,

App works fine. It detects my PC in the list and I can just stream my games. But when I Manually add that same PC as listed in the list (192.168.1.3) I get this error: "Unable to connect to the specified computer. Make sure the required ports are allowed through the firewall" But I'm on the same network so port fordwarding can't be the issue. In the past this just worked but now it seems like I can't manually add my PC anymore. Weird thing is, with the windows client it does connect with 192.168.1.3. You may think 'what's the problem if it already discovers it?' but this is really imported for me because I want to port fordward (and that succeeded in the past)
[Shield General] Attreyu:
If 10ms you consider unplayable with Tegra 4, what is the latency with Qualcomm ?

I have tested with Xperia Z2 and Oppo Find 7 and before 2.5.5 I had 80ms, now I have 45ms and it's almost perfect.

In my opinion, 5-10ms is PERFECT.
[Shield General] MalaBouM:
I misspoke, making it unplayable it is not latency but losses consistently frames. 10 ms was perfect it's true but a tegra 4 is capable to 5ms at 1080/60. The problem isn't the latency, the problem is a big drop frame

it's better with qualcom but with tegra 4 it's slower

Add PC Manually Issue

I'm having this issue as well. I'm using limelight on my galaxy s4 for makeshift VR - not quite an Oculus Rift but still pretty fun- and as such I need to use USB tethering to achieve a fast/stable enough stream. The auto detection functions perfectly over wifi however it doesn't seem to work over the tethered USB connection; as such I've just been manually adding the PC.

Since the last update the manual option doesn't seem to be working at all. I've tested it on both of the devices at my disposal (a Samsung Galaxy S4 and Note 10.1) and the issue occurs on both devices (in both the root and non-root versions of the app). Unfortunately I don't have another PC to test on however I did try a clean install of the graphics drivers and geforce experience with both current and older versions to no success.

In addition to this I cloned the github repo and attempted to debug it myself and have had very limited success. The issue seems to randomly resolve itself depending on where you place breakpoints/which methods you use the debugger to step through. I'm not particularly experienced with android or threading generally so forgive me if I'm mistaken but this seems to indicate that something isn't syncing up correctly. My intuition is that the issue is somewhere in the lead-up to com.limelight.computers ComputerManagementService.java line 191, where "fakeDetails.state" is always null unless "getPollingRunnable(fakeDetails).run()" is stepped through. This did not work every time however so I can't really be sure.

S4 drops

Hello:

I love this app but it's far from perfect with my s4. I have tried different builds I've seen in previous posts.

It drops about 2 seconds every now and then, saying "packet drops, try wifi 5ghz". But i have a 5ghz router, even with ac (s4 also has ac)

I have drops with 720p60 but I have less drops with 720p30. Both with 45ms

In the OP you said that there were some chipsets with problems when BT enabled (I play with BT controller).

My question: is my S4 (Snapdragon 600) in the list of known problems with BT?

My actual config:

Computer: i7 920 (4 core [MENTION=2539186]320[/MENTION]0mhz), 8gb ram, nvidia gtx760

Mobile: S4 i9505 snapdragon 600

Stream over USB3 and last version

Hello Cgutman !

First i need to thanks you a lot for your awesome works : ) It's the best streaming app for gaming so far, and the image quality is neat !

However I have some questions and bug reports.

I use limelight with my Samsung galaxy S5 (android 4.4.2) over USB 3 tethered with usb debug option enable, and i mostly use it to play VR game (using Tridef to get side by side image). It work great exept that i absolutely need 1080p / 60fps for great experience. And that's the problem, since i never be able to play it more than 1 or 2 minute before the stream start stutter a lot. But it's working quite good in 720p 60fps... Both these resolution give me around 40ms latency ( i hope someday we will be able to get 15ms with the snapdragon 801)

Since the last version of Limelight 2.5.5 and GFE 2.1.2.0, it stop recognizing my computer, so i used your most recents apk to fix this. But i notice some change over the 3 differents ones :

- Ewvui apk is recognizing my computer over usb but still the same stutter after 1 or 2 min of gaming. I got better latency result since (over 32ms).

- Oldqos apk give the best result, i've been able to play 15 min then it start to stutter and 32 ms latency.

- Oldflag apk is the worst one, image quality is not that good and i can barely play game more than 1 min and 32m latency.

Do you think it's because of my CPU ? Or the galaxy S5 isn't powerful enought to get data stream 1080p/60fps without trouble ?

My computer is an old core i7 920@3.8 Ghz with GTX 780.

Thanks

Try a driver cleaner like Display Driver Uninstaller. That's pretty much all that's left that you can try. Seems like GFE doesn't play nice on your machine.

MediaTek devices are supported. Your error seems to be an issue on the PC-side. Try disabling your firewall.

Since the stutter starts after minutes or more, it sounds like you're saturating your USB tether. GameStream doesn't immediately start at the maximum bitrate; it scales up gradually. It sounds like it's hitting the limit of your tether while scaling, which causes it to drop frames. Go to the advanced settings and try lowering the bitrate.

Wow ! thanks a lot !!!

It works really fine with 28 mbps instead of 30 mbps, I can play any games without dropping or stutter for more than 1h (the maximum time my brain can handle the VR :eek: ). I also speed up my usb 3 port using the UASP/turbo mode to get less micro stutter.

Anyways, I'm kind of disappointed by the usb3 speed of the Galaxy S5, it should be a lot more faster than just 30mbps. Maybe the connection is USB 2.0 and not 3.0. In my network statut It show only 425,9 mbits/s... But how can I check this ?

I'm also trying it out on a tronsmart hdmi android device. I escaped successfully but when I click the RMB to exit like the non-root version it doesnt do anything.
[Shield General] cgutman:
That should be enough. Right now Limelight-PC does very unoptimized decoding and rendering which requires the client PC to be reasonably powerful. I think a Core 2 Duo should be enough though. What's your CPU usage like on each core when trying to stream?

Moga controllers report a fairly large deadzone (in comparison to other devices) of 10%. In addition, there's some deadzoning going on in Xinput applications on top of the deadzone that Limelight uses. This amounts to a pretty large deadzone (30% or more) since the deadzones are effectively getting added together. Limelight v2.5.6 compensates for the deadzone on the PC side by offsetting axis values so the PC deadzone (theoretically) has no effect.

Do you remember which version you were running yesterday? Limelight v2.5.6 was released a couple days ago. If your Note 2 has an Exynos SoC, it's possible that a change I made could have caused issues.

Try rebooting your phone and see if the issue goes away.

Thats genius! It never crossed my mind to tinker with the deadzones on the PC side. That all sounds about right too, because before this update I had about 30% deadzone on my Moga Pro controller while using LimeLight, no matter what I set the deadzones to in the Android .kl files.

Best Tablet

Hi guys. What you're doing seems awesome!

The Shield Tablet seems like an awesome device, but it seems a little overpowered for just video streaming. I really don't care about playing games natively. So what do you guys think is the best device for limelight. Best wifi bands, best stream decoding, best bluetooth pairing, best big screen options, best battery life, Best screen(best resolution compatibility)?

PS. Also I know the Shield has a 30fps option that doubles battery life, is there any way to translate this to another device. Maybe another app?
[Shield General] jeccross:

I found it cheap here;

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Head...ideo-Glasses-Google-Cardboard/2042445475.html

This would be awesome if paired up with a tegra4 based phone, for ultra low 4ms latency in limelight, however the only phone you can actually buy with Tegra4 seems to be the Wiko Wax and this is only a 720p display...

http://www.pixmania.co.uk/smartphones/wiko-wax-black-4g-smartphone/22119368-a.html

Shame there isn't an OLED UHD tegra one out... as the galaxy note isnt tegra enabled it does mean Gear VR is very flawed.

EDIT:

Apparently the Xiaomi Mi3 TD is using tegra4 instead of the WCDMA version which is a snapdragon 800...

Try downloading 2.5.5 from here and see if you get the same issue: https://github.com/limelight-stream/limelight-android/releases

In addition to the above post, you can calculate the amount of data you'll be using. In advanced stream settings, that is the bitrate ceiling in megabits per second of the video stream. It will often be below this value if not much is happening in the image, but it won't get higher. Add 2 megabits for audio/control/input just to be safe. Then you can convert to megabytes per second by dividing by 8. Now you have a number you can use to calculate how much data you use for a stream of n seconds.
