Minix X8

Hi, anyone who have tried streaming to a Minix X8 with good results?

The only way of getting sub 30ms lag on the Minix is using SW decoder, 720P60 and <= 5Mbps.

If I enable HW decoder, up the resolution or raise the bandwidth, I immediately get 150-250 ms lag and stuttering.

Is this a Minix issue?

Streaming to my Nexus 5 even at 1080P and really high bw, 25Mbps+ and my Sony Tablet Z at 720p60 12Mbps on the same Wifi work excellent at 20 ms or less...

I have tried many different versions of Moonlight, restested 3.1.7 and 3.1.8 today to no avail, GFE 2.5.11.45.

The Minix should be the strongest streamer in my home but something is holding it back. :(

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards

Kenneth

hotspot thing doesnt work
[Shield General] jpeich:
Minix X8 AFAIK is an Amlogic device with Mali GPU and h264 decoding. It is not by any means a tier 1 device, so you cannot expect the premium experience coming from qualcomm or tegra or broadcore. Even Intel Minix z64 that had an incredible low lag, it could not deal with a 4MB/s h264 stream without stutter, I tested.

I can only recommend nvidia shield android tv with moonlight. It is an incredible streaming experience and you can experience that you are tasting a piece of future...

Hello an user (Hop3l3ss) posted a few month limelight version with onscreen controls , i think his Work was awesome but since gfe 2.5.12 this version dont work , its a shame so can anybody bring onscreen controls on latest moonlight version ? I know that everybody are interested by moonlight as virtual reality device but used your phone as portable game console with on screen control is awesome too ,so please [MENTION=2844433]cgutman[/MENTION] or anyone else think about that :)

I tested Moonlight on Motorola Moto E LTE, which have Snapdragon 410 with Andreno 306 GPU. Here are my results with 2.4 GHz N router

720p 30fps - 18 ms -> Totally playable, almost no delay.

720p 60fps - 29 ms -> Playable but delay is noticable

1080p 30 fps - 28 ms - > Same as above, but video stops from time to time

1080p 60 fps - 36 ms -> Delay too big, video sometimes stutter

[MENTION=2844433]cgutman[/MENTION] any luck with GFE 2.5.11/12 and Moonlight? Need any additional testing with test builds?

Can anyone please send a link to, or show me how to get the ps3 controller working with sixaxis controller on moonlight?

EDIT: I can manipulate the android interface with the controller and even manipulate steam once streaming begins but I cant do anything in game with the controller.
[Shield General] jyan_osu:
I had this issue and what I did was unplug any controllers on my pc , restarted the pc, and then I could use moonlight with my controller. I replugged the controller into my pc and now when I stream through moonlight my controller paired to my phone still works. But if it ever stops working just make sure there are no controllers plugged into your pc
[Shield General] CeBits:
I have a problem installing Moonlight on one particular device, a Chinese phone "Elephone P6000" with Mediatek MT6732, 2gb of ram and Mali T760 gpu. Its running a stock Android 5.0 rom (rooted).

When I tried installing it from the Play Store I got error:

"unknown error code during application install -504"

When I tried sideloading the latest apk it starts installing but ends up with "Application not installed" without additional errors.

Any suggestions?
[Shield General] jeebspawnshop:
I did some research on that error code, and it usually turns out to be a ROM issue.

Most people that resolved the issue had to reinstall their ROM cleanly to make apps work properly.

Anyone else using a fire tv stick? It used to work fine for me using HW decoding. Recently though using HW decoding a get a blank white screen, but get audio works fine, using SW decoding works (laggy of course). I'm unsure what the issue is, I was wondering if this is possibly due to a hardware fault?
[Shield General] Shadyfurball:
Fire stick user here. It's not working anymore. Can hear sound but get a black screen for a few seconds and then stops. No errors or anything either.

Is still working on my s6 edge though. So only fire stick issue.
[Shield General] ianuk2005:
Ah so i'm not the only one, do you know if it happened after an amazon update or something? Just wondering why it's suddenly an issue to do HW decoding. Same here for other devices, my s5 works flawlessly over the same network at 1080 60fps. Would like to get it working again for my fire tv stick so I can use it on the TV in other rooms.

Issue using ipega 9023

Hi guys,

I got an issue using moonlight with my ipega 9023 controller on my ASUS MEMO PAD 7 (Asus ME572C-1G012A).

I have succesfully paired my ipega controller via bluetooth to my Asus tablet but when I start a game the stream is incredibly laggy and unplayable. :crying:

As soon as I stop the ipega controller all is running perfectly.

Do you guys ever had this king of trouble ? :confused:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CPU INTEL CORE I5

GPU NVIDIA GTX 970
[Shield General] Shadyfurball:
I haven't a clue. I don't there's been an update for the stick. Think there was maybe an update for gfe. Still weird that it's only the fire stick that's borked.

Perhaps someone else can shed some light on the issue?
[Shield General] cgutman:
Can you guys confirm what version of Moonlight is installed on your Sticks? Also what version of GFE is your PC running? There was an issue that caused black screens with GFE 2.5 and Moonlight 3.1.7 but 3.1.8 should have fixed that.

Update: Oddly enough, I encountered a black screen issue today in my testing with the Fire TV Stick (and my other devices). However, this was seemingly not related to Moonlight at all and was fixed by rebooting my PC (maybe a Windows 10 compatibility issue). After rebooting, I installed the latest build from the Amazon store on my Fire TV Stick. I tested 720p30, 720p60, and 1080p30 without having the black screen issue on my FTV Stick. I confirmed Moonlight v3.1.8 is working on firmware 54.1.2.0 and 54.1.2.1. The GFE version I tested with is the latest production release of GFE, 2.5.12.11.

Bluetooth. BT has been known for messing up devices. It's one of the reason why the shield products went with wifi direct.

Failed to start RTSP handshake

Hey guys,

I've run into problems setting up Moonlight, namely that I can't get the stream to work. My phone recognizes my pc and all the games on it and is able to remotely start and quit applications, but as soon as it tries to stream it fails to start the RTSP handshake (Error code: 500). The standard troubleshooting didn't help much, except that I found, that I can't connect to https:// 127.0.0.1:47984/serverinfo?uniqueid=1234 (either 404 or ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED or similar in chrome.)

What I've tried:

- Reinstalled Moonlight(both rooted and non rooted) and rebooted my phone multiple times - no change

- Reinstalled All Nvidia software (GFE, Physx and the drivers) twice, both times completely clean - no change

- Opened port 47984(the one I can't connect to) in my router and my local firewall - no change

- Installed Moonlight on my Amazon Fire TV - same error

- opted into Moonlight android beta - waiting for the update, but I'm not very hopeful

- completely disabled firewall - no change, though the error message appears a lot faster than with firewall on.

My Equipment:

- GFE PC: MSI GP60-LE with i5-4200H, 8 GB RAM, 840M (yes it supports Gamestream according to GFE) running Win10

- Android Smartphone : Oppo find 5 with Snapdragon s4, 2GB RAM, Adreno 320 GPU running Cyanogenmod 12 (latest Nightly - Android 5.0.2)

Thanks in advance

[MENTION=2844433]cgutman[/MENTION] Can GFE output 1920x3240 or 1280x2160 respectively for Nvidia Surround like games? Just curious for the Stream Theater project for the multiscreen Theater on the GearVR
[Shield General] Bboy486:
Am I the only one having connection issues with the latest GeForce driver updates? Moonlight on nexus player takes a while to connect and when it does I select my pc and its says pairing but the pair option doesn't appear on my pc.
[Shield General] Shadowfaax:
You're not alone, I got a lot of similar troubles since last GF drivers update.
[Shield General] sc00bydoo:
Im getting this issue also and on the Raspberry PI version of moonlight, rtsp handshake error 500.

Im not 100% but think its got something to do with windows 10 as its working for some people on windows 10 and not others so its more than likely a geforce driver issue which will hopefully be fixed asap.
[Shield General] Shadowfaax:
Thx for your answer, I just find out last weekend a trick to temporaly fixe it: unpair then pair again blutooth device. It works until you turn the controller off.
[Shield General] Bboy486:
I didn't see an update from moonlight or a post on a possible compatibility issue.
[Shield General] Shadowfaax:
Maybe due to my attempt to exec GF Exp in administrator mode, pretty weird though..
[Shield General] Bboy486:
No my point was I didn't see anything confirming that there was a compatibility issue. But I just simply cannot get it to connect.
[Shield General] thelord23:
i am trying to connect with my LG G3 via moonlight to my PC. but for some reason when i open moonlight it gets stuck on "Searching for PCs".

is there some kind of troubleshoot that i can do or logs that i can collect and look at in order to understand what the problem is?
[Shield General] tallnerd1985:
For anybody reading with issues with pairing, I've notice it wants GFE to be logged into a Nvidia account. Open up GFE and in the top right, there is a option to login or register
[Shield General] DarkWolffe:
Okay, so I have a question.

Why would my 5GHz network increase latency and framelag?

When I connect to my 2.4GHz network (which has high congestion, as we live in an apartment complex), games play fine. But connecting to my 5GHz network which has only a couple devices actively connected and basically zero congestion causes my frames to go from 30-60 to less than 15.

Thoughts?

Edit: Found out the Moonlight is only using up to ~300KB/s (2.4Mbps) where it should be using up to 2MB/s (20Mbps). Screenshot of the madness. Should probably mention I'm on a OnePlus One running CM12.1 nighties.
[Shield General] primed1:
Has anybody else been having an issue with their computer not showing up on the main page? For me, it always shows "Searching for PCs...", even though my computer is on, I'm logged in to Nvidia on GeForce Experience, I have all the ports opened up, I have windows firewall disabled, AND I'm running the newest beta version of Moonlight. I've tried reinstalling the Nvidia drivers multiple times, and the Moonlight app too, and I even tried putting in the IP address of my PC manually, but nothing worked. My PC has an Nvidia GTX 970 and is running Windows 10, and my phone is a Nexus 6 on Android M developer preview v2. If anybody could give me any information on how to help, I'd be grateful, as I'm at a loss on how to get it to work at this point.
[Shield General] cgutman:
The network bandwidth will not hit the maximum if the network is dropping packets (and frames as a result). That's probably what you're seeing as a low FPS. Interference can still happen on 5 GHz, so it may be worth changing channels or something. It could be something like a cordless phone which doesn't show up on a WiFi scanner app. Luckily the 5 GHz spectrum is large so you can probably find a place without interference, especially if there aren't many 5 GHz networks in the area.

I know there's a bug on my Nexus 9 running M DP2 where mDNS (auto-discovery of computers) isn't working. I was able to make it work by specifying my IP manually. Since that didn't work for you, I'd make sure NvStreamSvc is running on your PC. If so, check if you can hit: http://127.0.0.1:47989/serverinfo on your GFE PC.
[Shield General] Acofmelt:
GP60-2PE here with same problem. The only difference is that my PC have a i7-4720HQ.
[Shield General] Bboy486:
Still cannot connect to moonlight. Signed in using 2.4 network. Same settings as before. Rebooted router and all. No dice. It worked before the nvidia driver update.
[Shield General] DarkWolffe:
I've changed the channel multiple times, and used an app on my phone to ensure that 5GHz is clutter free, which I found it is. Additional thoughts?
[Shield General] primed1:
I don't have NvStreamSvc, unless you mean NvStreamSrv. Here's a screenshot of all the current Nvidia processes that are running:

I've redacted IP information and such for obvious reasons, but based on the output here, it doesn't seem like it's a server side problem; more like a phone issue. I think I'll try a lollipop ROM or something and see if maybe it's just Android M causing the issue. Still open to any suggestions though.

EDIT: I booted up the latest version of CM12.1, and Moonlight works! It's strange that it wouldn't work at all on Android M. Has anybody else had that issue on the Nexus 6?
[Shield General] Bboy486:
I got moonlight to work again on my setup. A ton of router restarts and I was good to go. However on Win 8.1 it will go to the metro interface when loading a game. Not a big deal as I can splashtop into it and launch the game.

However on my 2.4 network I do have some stutter even the the latency is 15 ms. Should I get a Ethernet to usb adapter?
[Shield General] tallnerd1985:
Android M uses a different video display renderer so if Moonlight is built targeting a specific renderer for Lollipop or less, that's probably the issue.
[Shield General] primed1:
I don't think that's the case, because other people running Android M on other devices have used Moonlight successfully. I think it's maybe an incompatibility with the network driver for the Nexus 6. I'd figure all Nexus 6's running M have the problem, but if not it may just be the kernel I'm running lol. I'll test a different kernel later maybe.

[Shield General] Angelusz:
Howdy, I can't for the love of me get my tablet connected to my PC with this. It doesn't find anything, and it doesn't recognize the IP directly. Firewall is configued and I'm on my home network. GFX XP is logged in and all is well, or so it seems.

How do I resolve this?

It's a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet. EDIT: Tested phone too, same result. One is rooted, the other is not (I used the according versions of the app). Halp?
[Shield General] jeebspawnshop:
Try disabling the firewall entirely, then see if it connects. If it doesn't, then something is wrong with your network itself and you'll need to delve in to your router, etc.
[Shield General] Angelusz:
I have tried that, thanks. Interesting that my home network should be the cause. I have never had similar issues, and I run servers, remote desktop software etc. etc. etc. without issue. But I'll delve into it some more.
[Shield General] jeebspawnshop:
Well, I'll describe my set up so you can compare yours, and maybe try out some of these ideas;

1 - Set up no-ip.com account, and made my router (Thomson) update it, example: jackrocks.zapto.org

2 - Forwarded all these ports (WAN to LAN direction) to my gaming computer (which has static IP on my home network): TCP 35043, 47989, 47995, 47996, 48010, and UDP 47998 to 48000

3 - Didn't mess with Windows Firewall... I think...

4 - Whenever I want to game-stream, I connect to jackrocks.zapto.org - this works at home AND when I'm out of town

If you're simply trying to make it work on your LAN, then maybe some of those port numbers will help you, and perhaps setting up a static IP for your gaming rig OUTSIDE of the DHCP pool might work out.

Good luck.
[Shield General] jaykresge:
Can you clarify this? What are the expected results of clicking these links? What step(s) to take to correct if you don't get the expected result?

I just built two new PCs with clean installs of Windows 10. Hardware is different (i5 + GTX 970 vs. i3 + GTX 750ti, among other things). Software installs are near identical and basically bare bones at this point. Yet Moonlight can only find the i3-based PC. It cannot find the i5-based PC, the one that I actually run my games off of (the i3 is the wife's box for WoW only).

What I find funny is that her box doesn't have Steam installed, and she doesn't have an NV account to log into with GFE. I have Steam installed, and GFE is logged in to my Nvidia account. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this box won't connect. Any ideas?
[Shield General] jeebspawnshop:
Check my post above yours for some ideas.
[Shield General] :
Yes, I have. No, the cursor does not disappear, and is actually out of sync with the PC's cursor. I wouldn't recommend, but YMMV
[Shield General] Dabreaker9:
Badass! I THINK I got it working! The only thing is that Limelight crashes as soon as I try getting the stream on my phone. It usually crashes at Starting audio stream, so I don't know if that means anything. I've tried 720p, 1080p, 30fps, and 60fps. It got farther with 1080p and 60fps.

When it crashes, the message is cut in half, freezes for 3 seconds, then says "Unfortunately, Limelight has stopped." On the PC screen, it will show the buttons for a controller, but go back to the pc controls as soon as I reconnect the S4.

I've tried forcing hardware, software, and auto encoding. It does the same thing.

1. SHIELD tab appears in Experience.

2. I've restarted the computer

3. The firewall is disabled

4. Updates have been applied to both steam and Experience

5. The controller is connected (if that matters)
[Shield General] cgutman:
Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about this. Android has no API for hiding the mouse cursor like we do on the PC version. As mentioned on the previous page, it's not in sync because the protocol just sends relative movements.

Are you sure you're using the ARM version of the APK? If so, we need a log to figure out why it's crashing. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1726238 for getting logs

Control Pad and keyboard mouse problem

Hey,

looking great so far! am using this to stream from my gaming PC to my laptop (In the living room) so that I can play games on my living room tv. (Streaming over Cat5e and a gigabit router).

Managed to play Poker night 2 for a whole after noon on version 0.3!

HOWEVER

have run into 2 issues, first off the app is not recognizing my Logitech 2 Rumblepad which is connected to my laptop and confirmed working with windows (7 Home Premium).

second, ONE game I have tried had a specific issue... Fallout New Vegas: When I launched the game the mouse detection seemed to stop and I had to use the keyboard to make my main menu selection. When I enter the game (from continue or NEW game) the keyboard also stops being detected.... so I can't move or do anything in game.

other games tested so far don't seem to have this problem..

Just thought I would mention it and see if I can do anything to help (Been waiting for a feature like this for about 5 years!!!).
[Shield General] cgutman:
The Rumblepad issue is related to it being a DirectInput device rather than an XInput device. x360ce should be able to solve this issue. I haven't tried getting it to work but if you want to play with it, we use Xinput9_1_0.dll so you'll need that file in the same directory as the Limelight jar. I'll play with this later and post an update then. https://code.google.com/p/x360ce/

The New Vegas issue is probably because Nvidia's software is emulating a controller plugged in. This probably makes the game hide the cursor on the menu screen and breaks controls in-game because it's expecting controller input. Is there a way you can disable controller input in that game?
[Shield General] Dabreaker9:
Well, I wasn't sure, so I went and uninstalled and reinstalled the ARM version. Works great, but my controller loses connection with the computer sometimes (unresponsive for ~2 seconds)... then again, that was L4D2 so there's a lot of weird stuff that goes on while it does that. Super cool, thank you!

I was streaming at 720p 30fps with Auto-select Decoder. I'll fiddle with the other encoders soon. :cool:

Since I want to use it for 3D-Gaming on my Nexus 5 with the Durovis Dive I would love to see the features jarjarfinks asked about some time ago.

XBMC addon for limelight?

Hi, this looks totally awesome! I was wondering if the Windows/Mac/Linux code could be incorporated into an XBMC plugin so that a GameStream session could be launched on a TV easily? The OpenElec version of XBMC already has support for PS3 controllers built in which seems quite robust. I realise that it's early days for this but it would be an incredibly easy way to access this on systems like a raspberry Pi or HTPC setups.

Congratulations on the progress so far
