This may have been discussed already here, but I didn't find anything specifically helpful enough via search and there are really too many posts to read through all of them.

I tried the Nvidia Shield gamestream and was disappointed to discover that some games will not recognize the controller, even though they are controller supported. I researched this a bit and it has something to do with whether the game is developed to use Xinput vs DirectInput or something of the like.

I discovered Moonlight tonight and I've got it all set up and so far it's amazing, but I'm having the same issue with the controller.

My server PC is a desktop in my office and the client is a laptop in the livingroom. Both Windows 10. I've got an Xbox 360 wireless controller connected to the laptop using a wireless USB receiver dongle thing. Seeing as I have much more control over the PC and its inputs and stuff than I did the Nvidia Shield, I'm here to ask if there's any way to get the controller to work via the client PC just as if it were connected to the GFE server PC.

What are my options?

I've been using Moonlight a lot for multiplayer and it's been working fantastically.

I did have a question though. I noticed NVidia's Geforce Experience Game Stream supported two XInput controllers on both ends. I had assumed Moonlight would do the same but it only seems to pick up inputs on the client side and not the host. Just wondering why that is?
[Shield General] radix00:
So today (sept 7th) a major update to GeForce Experience was released. This update 3.0.5.22 seems to completely disable GameStream to moonlight. While this is new information a few others have reported the issue on reddit and I can confirm it from my end. Can others confirm the issue? Are the devs working on moonlight aware?
[Shield General] cgutman:
GFE 3.0.5.22 works fine on both PCs I've tested it on (both fresh install and update). If you're having an issue with 3.0, it's just a GFE bug. An uninstall and reinstall of GFE should clear it up.
[Shield General] jpeich:
.

I recommend DDU for clean uninstalling for the GFE if stuck on a nonworking version. That is how I managed to install a specific GFE version to get borderless IOS streaming (sorry if a bit off.topic)
[Shield General] radix00:
I did a DDU clean uninstall, reboot, installed GeForce experience and newest driver. Still had no success, the Shield tab would not even show up. Did a final reboot and the Shield tab showed up just fine. So it looks like if the Experience v3 upgrade brakes GameStream do a complete uninstall, reinstall and a reboot.

Connect IP ...

Hello,

This two days I'm picking on your application. Despite of all the sites visited no response corresponding to my problem.

When I try to connect via my local network, wifi no problem PC is recognized and all PIN works!

Malheureusment what I do not understand is when I'm 4G (mobile data) it is impossible to connect it to my IP address 176.---.---.104.

Yet I ask all open ports: TCP 47984, 47989, 35043, 47995, 47996, 48010 / UDP 47998, 47999, 48000, 48010 and it always shows me the same message "Unable to connect to the specified computer Make. sour the required ports are allowed through the firewall "

My connection is http: // [your PC IP address]: 47989 / serverinfo = This site is inaccessible. NVIDIA Streaming Service is running

GeForce GTX 970

driver 372.70

Intel Core i5-4430

8 GB RAM

GFE 3.0.5.22

Thank you for helping me because I uis lost I do not know how.

Which SoCs have HEVC / H.265 support with Moonlight?

Intel Atom x5-Z8300 and up?

Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 and up?

Samsung Exynos 7 Octa 7420 and up?

NVIDIA Tegra X1 and up?

MediaTek ???

And will the GTX 970 work for HEVC streaming or should I buy a GTX 1060 which has full HEVC support (...I know 1060 is better).
[Shield General] seven2099:
No problem! Glad you liked it
[Shield General] nk33:
ok, this major gefore overhaul is really annoying..

Not only do you now have to log in to this software, but it scans your system and adds every god damn game to your streaming app. For some reason there are 3 copies of some of the games on there as well. I found that you can hide them, but this doesnt hide them from the moonlight app,...i cannot find where to delete them from the list completely...does anyone know?

Also,, if you want to add your shortcuts manually now, you cannot just drag all your game shortcuts in one go, you have to add each shortcut manually....another really annoying feature!!!

grrrrrr! really frustrating

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

@the developer… can you add a setting/option to exclude games from the moonlight list that are found automatically by GFE… ie so the moonlight list only includes the ones added manually?
[Shield General] DartTimeTime:
I've spent the last few weeks testing every permutation of router setting I could find. Additionally, despite the fact that I've restored all my settings( I kept very clear and detailed notes), it's even worse now. I've tested multiple routers, and multiple devices. The only common feature is the moonlight app.

Moonlight Cover Art

Not sure if this is the place to post this but I was wondering how to get the cover art that is used in the GeForce Experience. I can use the command "moonlight list" to get all the games but I am not sure how to get the cover art for each. Here is what I am running:

NVidia Geforce Experience version: 3.0.5.22

Moonlight Embedded version: 2.2.0

Moonlight Embedded running on: Raspberry Pi running Debian Jessie 8.0

I am writing my own Moonlight esque GUI for the pi and would like to get the cover art without having to write a custom web app on my server to serve the images myself.

Thanks.

Games work but remote desktop won't anymore.

Is anyone else having problems getting mstsc.exe to start? I can run games through moonlight and also start them through steam but whenever I try to open remote desktop it will handshake, says starting video and audio stream, root permissions granted and then it will hang on black screen for a second and says connection was terminated. This just started a few days ago but always worked before. My monitor does support 1080p so it's not a resolution issue.

Edit: I was able to get it working again by uninstalling the new GFE and doing a clean reinstall of 2.11.4.0.

So I'll update my question here- is anyone able to stream their desktop from the new GFE, or have any guess why it could have stopped working for me?

Android TV box MXIII-G compatibility issue

Hi, im trying to use Moonlight without luck on a MXIII-G Android Box, 2Ghz CPU, 2 gb of ram and h265 hardware decoding.

It haves android 5.1.1 and the CPU is an Amlogic S812.

The performance is horrible, I have used Moonlight on Galaxy S3, Nexus 10, Minix Neo x7, Note 4 and Galaxy Tab S2. The program works great on all of them.(ones better than others)

Seems like an incompatibility with the device since the performance is horrible on 720p and on 1080 it does no even starts.

In theory this box should have a great performance as it haves hardware decoding, scores 40.000 on Antutu, gigabyte ethernet... but not lucky at this point.
[Shield General] cgutman:
Make sure your ISP or mobile provider is not blocking certain external ports. You could also trying to access it via another WiFi network to see if it's specific to your mobile connection.

Moonlight currently supports HEVC on Android 5.0 and later on Snapdragon 805 and up, Exynos 7420 and up, and MediaTek HEVC-capable hardware (but only on Amazon Fire TV due to driver bugs).

The 970 should work fine for HEVC streaming. NVIDIA actually implemented the fixed function HEVC encoder in Maxwell 2 (GTX 970). Pascal (GTX 1060) just added HEVC fixed function decoder support (and some extra HEVC HDR stuff I believe).

I don't think the applist XML returned gives me that data unfortunately. I'll have to take another look to see if they've added some extra details in GFE 3.0.

To get box art in PNG form, you request a URL in the form:

https://your_pc:47984/appasset?uniqueid=your_unique_id&appid=the_app_id&AssetType=2&AssetIdx=0

Note: You will need to provide the correct SSL client certificate data and uniqueid value for the request to work. These values will be the same values you/moonlight-embedded used when pairing to the PC.

I am able to stream my desktop from 3 of my test machines on GFE 3.0 using the mstsc.exe trick.

Does performance improve if you disable H.265 in Moonlight?
[Shield General] kernot:
Looks like it makes no difference with 265 enabled or disabled. It gives me 180ms average with 720p 60fps.
[Shield General] lateforwork1000:
The new Geforce experience (3.0.5.22) drivers now support other resolution you no longer need the beta drivers but you still need a rooted device. the only way I'm able to use other resolutions is by starting my game(or windows) in 720p then changing it to my targeted resolution, can you look into this ? will there be and update?
[Shield General] nk33:
well I have had enough of the crappy new GFE interface.

I have done some research and found version 2.11.40 which is perfect for me because

1) Doesnt auto-update

2) Allows you to drag shortcuts to the Sheild section

3) Isnt full of junk

4) Streams like a dream

Best version ever!

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

mate - those MX boxes are usually just for people who wanna use Kodi etc - they use very cheap hardware and their processors are extremely poor. you have no chance of getting a decent streaming session running with them.

Dont you notice a lag opening apps and generally using the box? if they lag during general use they are hardly gonna cope with gaming...
[Shield General] kernot:
The MX box that I have scores 40.000 on antutu, close to my note 4 score.

Minix neo x7 scores 14.000 and runs moonlight right. I dont think its a cpu performance issue, looks more like an incompatibility.
[Shield General] nk33:
When you say it doesnt run, what stage do you get to when you try to use moonlight on this box?

Are you using ethernet or wifi?

What controller are you using? Bluetooth or wired?

just done an AnTuTu bencmark on my S6 and it got 83238...thats over double yours...are you sure 40,000 is a good score?
[Shield General] kernot:
Hi, the minix neo x7 gets about 20ms average on 720p 60fps and on antutu it haves 14.000 so yes it is enogh.

Its wired with with CAT6 ethernet and both computer and android box are working on gigalan.
[Shield General] nk33:
ok - you didnt answer what stage it fails...? thanks
[Shield General] kernot:
It does not fails. It just does not have an acceptable performance. Like if it would not be using any kind of hw acceleration.
[Shield General] nk33:
i see. well in that case i thin we can safely assume that the hardware is not up to the job.

I remember i tried this on an MX box once and it was completely crap.

I have been using the box below for over a year now and it works a treat - comes with a gamepad worth £40 as well so you cant go wrong mate:

[MENTION=510787]Developer[/MENTION]... is there any way you can throw in an option in moonlight to disable the host screen while connected? then to re-enable once connection is dropped?
[Shield General] jeebspawnshop:
Since everything on the host side is controlled by GFE, that functionality could only be implemented if it ALREADY exists in GFE.

I'm unsure if it exists... but I doubt it.
[Shield General] flekinjo:
Hi everyone!

I'm really impressed by how well moonlight works. I use it mostly on my iPad, and I've got to say that the WiFi response seems to take less time than an input lag on my Samsung TV (in game mode). Because of this, I'm also using Moonlight as a remote desktop solution, and it works really well with the implemented touch controls (drag on screen to move the mouse pointer).

However, I was wondering if it would be technically possible to have a remote desktop mode where the Windows UI was used in the same way it is done with Windows tablet interface? That is, would nVidia GameStream even support sending the gestures from touchscreen devices to a PC that would replicate the tablet experience? This would make my iPad and PC an ultimate combination!
[Shield General] lateforwork1000:
i think that needs to be add first by nvidia( geforce drivers) before moonlight can do something like that
[Shield General] zombiefly:
hi all,

this is now doing my head in... here's my scenario.

I previously was using a raspberry PI, which used moonlight to stream my GTX970 perfectly using GFE. this has worked well for months and i've been happily using it to play GTA V from my pc downstairs. I was also using the PI as a rdp stream via moonlight for my HTC vive which i use downstairs via some long cables, this setup meant that other people in the room could see and hear the display of the vive as someone was using it... it was all working perfectly.

then i got a GTX 1070, installed it, tested the setup and it was still working. I then did a fresh install of windows 10. This unfortunately coincided with the release of GFE 3, and now I can't get moonlight on the pi (or any of the android clients on my phone) to pair as the pairing popup doesn't appear on the host PC. I've tried fresh install, uninstall. Still no dice. I tried some older versions of GFE but they don't seem to recognise my 1070 GTX and won't enable gamestream as the display adaptor is missing.

Does anyone know how to fix this damn popup? i've spent 2 days on this now, my setup is ruined. I can use VNC from the PI but the screen draw is horrendous when trying to view moving graphics on the host pc. The previous setup (streaming desktop using msdtc.exe) was brilliant, graphics and sound were duplicated to the screen with minimal lag. :(

EDIT: Fixed it.

install latest GFE.

in Regedit, go to:

"showinsedona" in the location below.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\NVTray

delete the showinsedona key

set start on login to true

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\NvTray]

"StartOnLogin"=dword:00000001

reboot. <--you must do this!

GFE will load in tray

Pairing popup will work

Playing over Hamachi

Hi,

I'm trying to set-up Moonlight, PC and my phone to play the games when I'm in the tram or sth. I'm using free hamachi network to do this but it's not working and I'm curious - Can I make it work? I have VPN connection on my phone set to connect with Hamachi network, phone can ping PC and vice versa but Moonlight can't find any GE PCs.
[Shield General] nk33:
have you got a static ip address? if you do then just click the add button and type that address in and it will find it as long as you have put the correct ports in.

if you dont have a static ip then just use a ddns company so you have your own domain name and type that in instead - it will find the pc

no need at all for a vpn

[Shield General] jonrobertd:
Everything shows in moonlight, all games are there, and I just updated GFE, but my problem starts when I try to start a game, it goes throught handshake and audio connection stuff, but when it gets to showing the game it automatically goes to CONNECTION TERMINATED. Stream theater is exactly the same, just with no popup. Both black screen, one popup one just shuts down feed. All the games I have opened in the app on phone start on the PC.
[Shield General] KWottrich:
In the Setup Guide section on Github wiki, in the "Using Moonlight to stream your entire desktop" section, could you add a note that you can stop streaming the full desktop using the quit command (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+Q)? I know this only works for clients with a keyboard, but it took me a long time to figure out how to stop streaming from my RPi. (I'd submit a change myself, but Github doesn't support pull requests for wiki pages.)

Changing ports?

I was wondering if there is a way to change the ports of the Moonlight app?

I already know how to change port forwarding on my router so I could redirect connections to the right ports (ie. from 8080 to 47984 so it can communicate with my PC).

I was asking and it is for a very specific scenario I'm having trouble with. I have a free wifi at work that blocks certain ports so I cannot use Moonlight. So I would redirect ports that aren't blocked to make it work with my PC.

I'm taking a chance by asking but since it's really specific to my situation I'm sure there is no easy solution. Thanks!

(also, can't use a VPN unfortunately and it is for using on the Android)

Error Code 532 with Moonlight 4.7.2 / GFE 3.0.7

At first thanks for your great app moonlight and your excellent support. I love this app and use it every day.

Great Work.

But i have a problem with the new update 4.7.2 (Moonlight for rooted devices -> PlayStore) in combination with the newest GFE (3.0.7).

(sorry for my english :rolleyes:)

After i trying to connect my android device (which i use for moonlight since month successfully) to PC via moonlight, there couldn´t etablish a connection. I knew that i had sometimes this problems after GFE updates, so remove all "Shield Devices" in GFE, to pair it again.

But when i try to pair, for few miliseconds i saw the pairing code on android device, but as fast it come so fast it disappears. And on PC the the window of GFE to enter the pairing code wasn´t open also.

moonlight on android device showns following message (the first time that i had this error code, since i use moonlight):

"GFE error: Cannot pair client when server is locked. (Error code: 532)"

Restart of both devices (PC and android device) doesn´t help.

So i think there is eventually a little bug with v4.7.2
[Shield General] hellviruz:

Weird, I haven't seen this in any of my testing. I just tried clearing paired devices on my test PC running GFE 3.0.7 and I was able to pair again without a problem. Can you both try uninstalling GeForce Experience, rebooting, and reinstalling it?

Thanks, trying this way it works fine again :good:

It seems, that the solution was to simple :p:confused:

PS:

A long long time ago i wrote you an email or via Google+:confused:, because i offered my help for a german translation of moonlight.

If you want i can still help. I only need the strings.

Otherwise i can make an Word document with screenshots of english version / english menu entries and the fitting german text under the screenshots. But for translation all pop-ups / toast messages (error codes for example) i need the strings.

[Shield General] telejoint:
Do anyone ones a method to block the auto updates of GFE ? Because i also want to stay as long as possible on a stable GFE for moonlight.
[Shield General] NeroFearUs:
For 2.11.4.0. you can do that after GFE ask you for install the update, refuse to install now and follow that.

The way to get rid of that update just go to "C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\GeForce Experience\Update" folder.

Make sure you have folder option that allow you to show HIDDEN FOLDERS and find the app called "SETUP.exe."

Rename it to something like "setup.exe.bak" then open up Geforce Experience you should be able to get into the program without auto updating.

This can be undo simply by rename it to "setup.exe" again.

I dont know if that work for 3.0 and later.

Hi,

I am using my S7 and Moonlight+ Trinus to run VR games on the PC.

Moonlight also seems to pass through my Bluetooth controller signals - which is a godsend, as windows games won't detect the controller correctly, if I try to connect it directly.

BUT - I really need to fix the trigger buttons, which continuously go off by themselves. I don't have this issue within Android, so I'm beginning to assume that this can be fixed within Moonlight.

My controller is a SteelSeries Stratus XL (more info here - http://xdaforums.com/nvidia-shield/general/moonlight-android-controller-deadzone-t3475229)

Can anyone please point me in the right direction, so I can fix the triggers? I suspect adding a deadzone would fix the issue
