1080p60 fps, picture stucks after some seconds but sound continues.

Using wired connection on my galaxy tab pro 10.1 with snapdragon 800.

Hardware decoder latency is 7ms, client frame latency 153.

1 ms ping during streaming. I can also transfer files with 200mbit between client and tablet.

Shield on the same usb otg network card has a client frame latency ~7ms, so there shouldn't be any problem with the connection.

But why does I have this problems and high client frame latency?

Thx & Greetings

2.5.5 works fine.

Something else I noticed on 2.5.6 is the first time I connect it often says connection is too slow, takes a couple of goes to connect properly. Quality seems higher though, but that might be the difference between the mega and my note 2. Looking forward to trying this on the note 4.

loving this pc to laptop but makes ffxiv unplayable as i cant see the mouse, when i press crtl+alt+shift i see mouse but can click on anything...anyone?
[Shield General] nk33:
the CPU runs pretty high at around 60% on each core. Hard to tell as when I alt tab to task manager obviously it dipd because the graphical stress isn't there anymore - but looking at the graph it does go up to 99 sometimes.

[Shield General] cgutman:
Can you both try this build and see if it fixes your issues? I reverted the Samsung-specific change I made to prefer a specific decoder which should fix Exynos 4.

I also found a potential condition where the rendering thread could deadlock if the decoder can't keep up with the number of frames we're giving it. This would manifest as the picture getting stuck as you and some other users have reported. Even though I can't reproduce it on my test devices, this should fix it.

Has anyone else seen issues when streaming to a Minix Neo X7 Mini Android device over ethernet?

I have a laptop with a GTX 860M, connected to my LAN via 1Gbit ethernet. Downstairs in the living room I have a Minix Neo X7 Mini connected to the same LAN @ 100Mbit. When using LimeLight I get a constant message that I'm getting high packet loss and it's basically unplayable. I know the network is fine because I regularly stream 1080p MKV's from my NAS. The only way to get the messages to go away is to change the max bitrate as low as possible, but of course that looks awful!

Even stranger, if I switch to WiFi (unfortunately its only a 54Mb G adapter in the minix) I get almost a perfect experience (with a few jitters) on the 720p @ 30fps setting, anything higher and I start to get packet loss again (though that's expected). This makes me think it might be a problem between LimeLight and the Ethernet on the Minix?

BTW, I tried the PC Java Client from my Desktop PC (also on 1Gbit ethernet) and it works flawlessly at the highest setting.

Anyone have any ideas or experienced anything similar?

Thanks!

Ouya Troubles since Update

So I hadn't tried using limelight since one of the summer updates that eliminated the need to stream using steam. I finally got it to work great. But, I didn't have a whole lot of time to play. So what happens next? Skip ahead a month or two and an update later.

I load up limelight. it discovers my pc. Cool.

(note that nothing had changed on my pc end as far as GFE was concered. I was running GFE 2.0.1 before they said you couldn't update it, and a version of the driver before the current 344.11, I just updated but more on that.

IT didn't load my pc. it was listed as available. but it didn't load. I think it said something about port permissions. I get on my computer. See that my drivers are outdated. So i update and restart. No difference. I look up to see about GFE updates, I no longer see any warnings about updates not working. Great. Update GFE. I have in my firewall permissions regarding anything Nvidia related, and even some remote access ports just to be sure.

Sure enough, I load limelight now, my pc no longer even shows up during discovery, and manual input yields me a result saying can't connect check ports whatever. Well I did check my ports. And everything as is it was and should be. So, WTF is going on?

Yes, both PC and Ouya have been restarted since running installations, and GFE was updated as a clean install.
[Shield General] jeccross:
Yep, that's fixed the problem for me.

Wont find pc

Okay, so to reiterate.

I got this to work once. awesome

some updates happened.

Now limelight on my ouya won't find my computer anymore.

it just doesn't show up in discovery.

when i try to manually add using my ip.

i get the same error as i would trying to add a pc from an IP address that simply doesn't exist. Help please?
[Shield General] GnatGoSplat:
Really cool app! Only trouble I had getting it going is the need to reboot my PC after installing a newer Nvidia Experience.

If I may make some suggestions/requests:

1. My monitor's native resolution is 1920x1200 (16:10 aspect ratio), so I have all games set to that resolution. My tablet is 1024x768 (4:3) and my phone is 1280x720 (16:9), so games don't look right unless I set the game resolution to the same aspect ratio as the mobile device. I would like a "Scale to aspect ratio" option. I'd prefer not to have to change the game's resolution on the desktop as I play games on it a lot as well. I'd prefer to have the tablet letterboxed or the phone pillarboxed, than to have an incorrect aspect ratio. Maybe a "Zoom" option that keeps the aspect ratio but chops off some of the image would be nice as well.

2. An emulated gamepad on the touchscreen like so many mobile games would be nice too.

keyboard keys like typing @ or # symbols don't work

Hi cgutman,

I've tried to use symbol keys like @ or # by pressing shift and the correct number key for a symbol and it keeps typing the number instead of the symbol? Is this a bug? Also, is it possible for you to test out a game(s) that are the only ones i couldn't get to work, keyboard and mouse are totally unresponsive. They are from gamescampus.com, drift city and shot online, it seems no matter how i start the game even from remote desktop using limelight once the games starts the keyboard and mouse connected to my tablet don't work anymore so i can't play the game. Appreciate if you could look into these issues thanks.
[Shield General] cgutman:
Thanks for the log. I've added a bunch of debugging a to new build. Please upload another logcat using this APK.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ps7w9bmj4tqjnnx/Limelight-maxdebug.apk?dl=0

On another PC or device on your network (not your Nvidia PC), in a web browser go to: https://<your PC IP>:47984/serverinfo?uniqueid=test

Tell me what you see in your browser. If you get an SSL warning, continue through it.

1. I think there's an issue on Nvidia's end to support that. They're scaling to 16:9 on the hardware encoder, so letterboxing it will still end with a weird looking image. I can investigate this though.

2. Also on the list of things to do. Hopefully sooner rather than later. It's not easy to create a usable controller without obstructing too much of the video. I would prefer if there was a 3rd party app that could make an onscreen controller. Anybody know of one?

[Shield General] wienersoup:
I get nothing. I have double checked multiple times and I know what my local IP is for sure, I wasn't sure to include <> or not but i did with and without them. I also tried my web ip address. I get page doesn't exist or document doesn't exist. To add mystery. I went back to my nvidia pc, and tried it with the laptop that i use, and ran it for its ip. With the <> i got a page doesn't exist. Without, I got a connection timed out error.

Thanks for the help. That's not sarcasm, that's genuine. I appreciate what this app can do, I just don't get why I'm not getting it to work now.

I will say that I had a router go bad recently, and I had it replaced by the cable company, supposedly new in box. Its a router/modem combo made by arris.

I did also however run a ping from each device to each device with the respective IPs and I get responses no problem. I'm running 8.1 on both PCs, nvidia pc is wired with private network firewall off, for troubleshooting this problem, and the ouya is also via ethernet. laptop pc is wifi.
[Shield General] GnatGoSplat:
Thanks for the reply. I tried it on my HP Touchpad tonight and it works surprisingly well on such an old device, I was rather surprised.

1. Ah, that makes sense. On my HP Touchpad, it does actually letterbox to 16:9 on the 4:3 screen. I think to get a correct aspect ratio, if the host PC is 16:10 for example, then the client would need to take the 16:9 image and vertically scale to 16:10. So for a "Scale to aspect ratio" to work, the app would need to know the host's aspect ratio. Maybe there could be a setting in preferences to choose host aspect ratio and scale accordingly?

2. I don't know of any 3rd party app, but I'm pretty excited to hear this may be an upcoming feature!

Kindle Fire HD 2014 No Video

Hey Guys...fantastic fantastic work - really great.

I have two different Kindle Fire HD's - one 2013 model and one 2014 model.

The 2013 model works ok, and can show the streaming game video, etc... however it has no USB OTG support, etc., making it less-than-ideal.

I was excited to discover that the 2014 model DOES have USB OTG support and Xbox 360 controller works great. However - it seems incapable of displaying video. Audio is there, and control works (looking at the PC), but no video is displayed not the device.

I've tried two different 2014 models, both with the same issue.

I'm running the latest Android apk side loaded onto the Kindles.

Thoughts?
[Shield General] cgutman:
Can you PM me a packet capture of you trying to stream? You can use Wireshark for this. Just start Wireshark capturing on your network adapter right before streaming, then after the video hangs, close what you're streaming, stop the packet capture, and upload the pcapng file.

UPnP enabled but streaming only works inside network

Hi, I've noticed manually adding works again after the update but I've still got a problem. GameStream doesn't work outside my house but I do have UPnP enabled. And it looks like it fordwared the right way. In the app. When I'm outside my network it just says my PC is offline and manually adding the IP gives me the port fordward/ firewall error

[edit]

I even tried fordwarding manually. with UPnP enabled and disabled. It keeps saying my PC is offline outside my network

XBox controller Dead-Centers

Hello Cameron,

Replying here as you requested me to do in the Play Store about the Analog Stick Dead Center issue. You said you have a build for me to test this? Also, I'm running this on an unrooted Samsung N-9005 'Note 3', and notice 1080p 60 FPS is very choppy, guess this phone also has a slow decoder like the Nexus 7 has that I read about? (Though it is hard to see the difference between 1080p and 720p due to the insanely high pixel densities these days.)

Meanwhile, maybe I can help, rqstadman? Which ports did you forward? I used nVidia's Gamestream topic for forwarding the right ports, I applied this only on the modem to which the Gamestream enabled computer is connected to.
[Shield General] BiggerBux:
Have I Done well the router settings?

Don't know if I forwarded well my router port... Can someone tell me if that's correct?

I can play only on my own internet connection, via wifi. When I try streaming pc games on my tablet away from home, my Pc is offline. I wanna try this settings but I don't know if those are correct.

I have a gtx 970 Sli, Nvidia Driver v 344.16 and GFE v 2.1.3 .

Thanks for the help.
[Shield General] Hionimi:
It looks okay, though if possible, could try to make the Port Trigger also contain a range, not just the first port. I'm not sure what the trigger does though.

And two 970's..? :eek:
[Shield General] BiggerBux:
Maybe is better this way, all port opened singularly with single trigger port. I don't know what trigger port means too...

Must the log be on ? Don't know so much about router ports forwarding...

Port fordwarding

Tried manually fordwarding again with these ports, first with UPnP enabled and disabled. Still no luck, btw. I'm trying to connect over 4G, so maybe this could be the problem.
[Shield General] Hionimi:
4G/LTE is not recommended, I don't know what your data plan is, but whatever it is, it'll drain... Fast. Also, mobile networks have a very high ping most of the time.
[Shield General] cgutman:
Thanks for posting. Give me your thoughts on each of these builds with tweaked deadzones.

1080p60 can be limited by the decoder or the Wi-Fi implementation. The bitrate increase for 1080p60 from 1080p30/720p60 is 20 mbps. It's tough even for very good devices to receive that much data with the low packet loss rate needed by real-time streaming apps like Limelight. As with most Wi-Fi related things, it depends a lot on your environment.

Is there any plan to add a debug option to the settings that will show latency + packet loss etc?
[Shield General] jpeich:
Hi to all.

I have been testing this app from the beginning and with the appeareance of the two last versions I have experimented a more unreliable streaming on 1080p 60 with lots of packet drops and hiccups. The latency has improved vastly, but the lag when the stream is dropping makes it less usable.

I have been testing with a XIaOMI MÏPAD tegrak1 with ASUS RTN66u and GTX650. Latest version of geforce experience. Direct cable connection to router. 5GHZ WIFI, very good coverage.

Does anyone have experienced the same behaviour?

Thanks for such an incredible piece of SW.

galaxy s5 drop frames

Hello, I recently bought a galaxy S5 thinking its MIMO technology would be an advantage for streaming but it's not.

My old G2 had significantly less loss of framerate. I have no interference on the 5GHz network, I have no neighbors and yet every 30 seconds my network throughput drops to only 200-300kb then back to normal.

I try to play a few centimeters of the router but it does not change, I tried turning off the bluetooth but the problem remains. In 720/60 or 1080/60 the problem is still present.

packet loss can it come from the encoder on the host pc? I am the only one with this problem?

My English is so bad that I'm a shema to explain my problem as well as some screen shots.

If anyone have an idea please help me !
[Shield General] thefunkygibbon:
amazing app. love it.... well, i would if I could get my controller to work with it.

i have an ipega bluetooth one, doesn't seem to matter which way it is paired, it never seems to transmit the controller to the pc. does anyone have any clue on how to set it up? I've tried a few key remapping apps but with no luck. :(
[Shield General] nk33:
i have the ipega and it works perfectly with my slate and phone. Perhaps you are not pairing it as a control pad. Have you paired it using the X & Home combo pairing method?
[Shield General] thefunkygibbon:
yeah i've tried that. are you using any special software? to remap anything?
[Shield General] nk33:
none at all. it just works

tell me, when your pad connects, can you then use the dpad to select icons on the phone, while using the a button to select stuff?
[Shield General] thefunkygibbon:
ok so it looks like it may "kind of" work. its laggy as hell. but i can move up and down in menus but i cannot select anything (ie in a game i just fired up i cannot press "A" (green xboxy looking button on the screen) to continue. not sure if it maps a controller as a 360 pad or something?
[Shield General] nk33:
it is supposed to map it as an xbox pad. thats how the games should see and use it.

it seems like one of 2 likely possibilities to me...either you haven't connected it as a correct device, or the pad is faulty.

other possibilities could be wifi/bt interference, other bt device interference, or faulty bt hardware....

we may also have different ipega's...mine is the ipega pg-9021.
[Shield General] thefunkygibbon:
mines a 9017. so slightly different but i'd hazzard a guess that its the same insides just a different feel controller.

the buttons work, ie i can use the pad within the limelight app and go up and down and select the game to play with the pad in its entirety.

its the mapping from the app to the host pc which seems to be the issue. I've tried on a couple of tablets now (running diff OS's)
[Shield General] nk33:
ok - so in this case, we have to move onto the games and whether they are gamepad compatible. do you use an xbox pad to play your games on the pc itself or keyboard and mouse? if you use a pad,can you give me a couple of examples as some dont support gamepads and require you to use xpadder to map the sticks and buttons...( i know most games now do support pads but you could be playing some older games which dont...)
[Shield General] nebiont:
I'm experiencing a weird issue and I'm wondering if anyone else has found a fix for it. I use limelight on my Nexus 7 with a PS3 controller connected to the Nexus 7 via bluetooth. The analog sticks display some strange behaviour on the PC:

On either stick, if I push it directly up the computer will recognize the input as either to the left ten degrees or to the right ten degrees, but nowhere in between. In games this makes it very difficult to run straight forward, my characters will be running either slightly left or slightly right, never straight. Also, if I'm running slight to the left and then I tilt my stick slightly to the right to correct the character will instantly turn about ten degrees to the right. There is no inbetween. This is kind of hard to explain so I'm sorry if that makes no sense.

I've tried multiple PS3 controllers and they all exhibit the same problem. The problem doesn't occur if I'm using my PS3 controller to control a native android app.

Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks!
[Shield General] nk33:
interesting as i get a similar issue with my xbox controller, but only when using the pc app. it swaps the left and rights of the look stick. with the pc app however this is easily fixed as you have a controller mapping section included. with the android app you dont get this,

my suggestion would be to use a third part app to swap whatever needs swapping. obviously it will then not work correctly to navigate through the device, but you probably dont need it for that anyway?
[Shield General] thefunkygibbon:
Yes I use a wireless 360 pad normally on my pc. I'm attempting to play any number of games which are 100% controler compatible. such as Fez, Limbo, Adventures of Shuggy (i'm only trying very basic controller based games to test with, didnt want to go in all guns blazing with stuff like Watchdogs where i'd have to worry about the analog sticks which i'm assuming i'll have more problems with)
[Shield General] nk33:
mate - not being funny but try it....i ONLY play those games and havent heard of the ones you quoted LOL. Try watchdogs as i know it works for me, so does wolfenstein, nba2k15, fifa etc
[Shield General] nebiont:
Thanks for the suggestion! I don't think it's a case of simple remapping though :(. It's like my analog sticks are missing a whole 20 degrees of motion, just completely skips it!
[Shield General] nk33:
oh fair enuff - maybe just purchase the bt controller i have which is the ipega 9021 - works a treat and is only £18 on ebay
[Shield General] nebiont:
So, I just discovered that you can pair a DS4 to the Nexus 7 without any special software. Just hold down the PS button and the share button on your DS4 until the LED starts flashing. Then on the Nexus 7 open the bluetooth menu and search for devices. It should show up as a 'Game Controller'. Paired like a charm and works with Limelight! The bad news: my analog issue from before exists on the DS4 as well!! I think this may be related to the deadzone changes that were made recently. Also I discovered it's up AND down on the analog sticks that have the issue.

EDIT: UPDATE:

I uninstalled 2.5.6 and installed 2.5.5. The problem does NOT exist on 2.5.5. Hurray!
[Shield General] cgutman:
You read my mind. I was about to ask you to try 2.5.5 to see if it was related to my deadzone changes.

Tested a few more devices

I ran limelight using my nexus tab and the windows version on a different device. My attempt with my win8 64 laptop yielded the error, connection refused connect. My nexus tablet failed to locate the pc, and to manually add was the same result. In regards to your test, to be sure I did the test right, I tried an ip on my network that just doesn't exist. I got a different error, the connection timed out. So I did the test right.

I don't know what else I could have wrong here.

I have the latest GFE, the latest drivers, computers been restarted numerous times, I don't know what changed or why I can't call that computer. I have the local windows firewall deactivated, Its set up for sharing. I use an nvidia GTX 650.
