Posted in G+ but maybe someone here can point me in the right direction.

I have used Moonlight in the past with several phones and the Nvidia shield console with no issues.

Currently I'm trying the app in my new TV, 4K AndroidTV Sony X83c series. I'm using the latest APK (sideloaded). With H265 disabled I get really smooth video streaming at 720p60 (I haven't tried any higher so far) but the sound stutters/desyncs constantly.

I recorded a video of the issue:

Which controller are you using? Have you configured the sixaxis app to "Enable gamepad" (Android will see connected controllers as native gamepads)
[Shield General] magician369:
It is Sixaxis controller.There is only one button to press in the Sixaxis app "enable sixaxis". After connecting the controller and pressing " enable sixaxis" I can use the controller to navigate between android apps and it seems ok.but when streamming,I cannot use it.

Are you using this app for the sixaxis?

[Shield General] magician369:
no I am using this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.sixaxis

Ok I just tried some other games.It worked for some games.other games like Battlefield 4 or Splinter cell BL dont automatically accept gamepads other than xbox ones even without streamming they dont work with any gamepads I think.
[Shield General] Jptechcrew:
I'm getting the same thing. Note 5 as well...I have to keep turning the services back on to get it to work on my other devices in the house.
[Shield General] alsheron:
I just bought a FireTV 2015 and am loving it so far. A big reason for the purchase was to get Kodi and Moonlight up and running. Very disappointed to see on this thread that the Mediatek chip in the FTV2015 isn't great with the latency side of things. I'm seeing *just* a bit too much lag using a wired xbox 360 controller plugged into the FTV - when I press the buttons it takes just that little bit too long to register on screen and is really making play pretty much unuseable. It's nearly there but not quite. Gutted because I recently returned a Nexus Player because it was too limited (no SD card and no USB port) but apparently this has much better latency with Moonlight?

Is this likely to get better for the FireTV 2015 with the Mediatek chip? Are any improvements in the works that would reduce this input lag?

Thanks for such great work - such a shame I'm *so close* but so far.
[Shield General] MiniMeOSc:
Does anyone know of, say a companion app for Moonlight that emulates a controller?

Ideally it should overlay controler widgets over Moonlight (or any other app) so that you can send controller inputs to the app. Moonlight would then do its usual magic and send the controller input to GFE/the pc game.

Overplayed (com.gphrost.Overplayed in Play Store) comes pretty close to it, from what I read it doesn't do the 2nd idea I mentioned though and requires at least a seperate receiver app on the PC.

On the other hand I can imagine though that sending such input signals to the system/another app isn't possible at least on unrooted devices. Though if it'd work as "normal" keyboard app without having to reserve screen space, or in other words could float above the other app, it might work.

The controller emulation I like the best so far is what I've seen in the mobile ports of the GTA games. An analog stick alike under the left thumb and a few buttons for the right thumb. I also like that you can even customize these easily (move the buttons around and resize them).
[Shield General] Ryhorse:
Does Moonlight really support 60 FPS streaming? I have several high-performance Android and iOS devices (actually, the most powerful ones) as well as a good dual band ac router and a powerful PC, but I fail to stream in 60 FPS every time. I placed my computer screen and my Android and iOS devices side by side to compare them and games just don't run as smooth on my phones as on my PC screen. If I have to guess I would say they run at 50 FPS or so on my phones. Lowering the bitrate changes nothing. For comparison, games I stream to my phones via PS4 remote play do run smoothly at 60 fps.
[Shield General] nk33:
I only stream 60fps… only on 5ghz network though (or ethernet)
[Shield General] Ryhorse:
What do you mean by you stream only 60fps? Do you mean you set the settings of moonlight to 60fps or do you mean you compared the fps on your devices you stream to with the fps of your computer screen and find that both run exactly as smooth as the other?
[Shield General] nk33:
i mean that i run 60fps on both my devices (galaxy 26 edge and tab pro 8.4) and they both run so so smooth. On very rare occasions i will get a point where the screen freezes and then catches up with itself but this is 1 in a million times
[Shield General] drdoolittle:
Does anyone know if there might be some improvements latency wise for the FireTV 2015 in the future? The lag of 50ms is annoying and makes it (for me) impossible to use the FireTV as game streaming, which was one of the reasons why I bought it. I can't believe that the MTK chipset is the problem here, it should be able to stream without lags >10ms.
[Shield General] nk33:
sorry correct me if i am wrong, but if you are to buy an android box specifically for gme streaming, why would you go for fire tv? unless of course zero research was done.....
[Shield General] drdoolittle:
As I said it was _one_ of the reason, not the sole one. And yes I did some research and also parsed the reviews for moonlight at the Amazon App Store etc. specifically for Fire TV, which just were all fine. It was only later I found this thread here which confirmed my suspicion about the high lag.

Official beta with on-screen controls

I've merged and made some fixes to the on-screen controls contributed by hop3l3ess on GitHub. It's being released as 4.5 beta 1 to users in the beta group. Please leave feedback here or in the G+ group.

Here's a link to the APKs (but I'd highly recommend you join the beta so you get updates): https://onedrive.live.com/redir?res...90&authkey=!AA9WDGlciCCHIog&ithint=folder,apk
[Shield General] drdoolittle:
Do you happen to know if there will be a possible fix for the latency issue with Fire TV 2015 in the future?
[Shield General] eliott94260:
its cool feature im glad that you finally implant taht coz yo provide the best streaming solution on android and pc:)
[Shield General] Phoenixfox:
With the latest update I don't have sound issues any more when running the app on my AndroidTV Sony

[MENTION=2844433]cgutman[/MENTION] what is the required cpu to enable h265, i have a snapdragon 801 and i m still on h264

and for on screen control l3 and r3 are missing, but its the same case on hop3l3ss prototype so im sure that you implant that later :)
[Shield General] cgutman:
Nothing on the radar. I do own a Fire TV 2 so the odds are better than most devices, but probably still not good.

The Snapdragon 801's H.265 codec (if even present) is very broken and just crashes when it gets the H.265 stream generated by NVENC. You'll also need a Maxwell 2 GPU in your PC (generally GTX 900+), because the Kepler and Maxwell 1 parts don't have H.265 encoders. For Qualcomm devices, Snapdragon 805 and higher will use H.265 if the GPU is capable. You can force it in Moonlight's settings and it will tell you if there's no H.265 decoder available, however that won't do anything if your GPU doesn't support H.265.
[Shield General] eliott94260:
thanks for fast answer ,ok i see, and i have a gtx970 so im bottlenecked by my smartphone ^^
[Shield General] drdoolittle:
Okay sorry I meant the Fire TV 2 (unfortunately there's no official naming for v2). Do you know what the problem could be, is it an issue with the PowerVR graphics (driver)?

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------

btw, did anyone try using Fire TV 2 with HEVC/x265 encoding/decoding, is there any difference in video latency? unfortunately i don't own a x265 capable graphics card.
[Shield General] farplaner:
Tried the on screen controls the other day, it seems to work well on my Nexus 6p. One thing I would love to be able to do though is to be able to enable/disable it without leaving the game/going to settings.

The on screen keyboard with 3 finger touch is great, maybe something like 4 finger touch to enable/disable on screen gamepad?
[Shield General] Hrlyrdr22:
There are far too many pages for me to go through them all but can someone give me a yes or no to If I can stream my PC to something like my school or public library WiFi. I heard nVidia made a update to allow this but I cant get it to work. I tried using public IP, Mac address and my PC name, and also enabled the discovery option in control panel. I've got the latest GFE 2.8.8 I believe and the latest moonlight for Android. My home is 5Mbps up and 30Mbps down but I've set Moonlight to a bitrate of 1Mbps (which I'm not bothered by one bit). Can anyone show me how to do this? Streaming works perfectly at home but some latency which eh
[Shield General] nk33:
If you go to the first page it tells you everything you need to know.

As you have already got things working locally this means to get things working remotely all you have left to do is to forward the relevant ports on your router… job done. see first page of thread, all there for you. :)
[Shield General] kakashisensei:
Got a question about the GearVR port. Does it only work in theater mode? Is this the only way to get low persistence to work with limelight?
[Shield General] cgutman:
The latency is similar between H.264 and H.265 on the Fire TV 2.

I'm going to have an overlay soon that I'll probably use the 3 finger tap or a long press on start/select to open. On this overlay will be stuff like: toggle keyboard, toggle on-screen controls, and toggle right stick mouse emulation.

I didn't write the GearVR port. The author has been around here a few times, but you'll probably have better luck posting on https://www.reddit.com/r/streamtheater
[Shield General] Crash Stuntman:
This sounds great. Will these be triggerable by a controller shortcut as well?

Emulation of things like a home button, start, and menu button via button combination would be great, too. Some controllers like the Nexus Player / ADT-1 gamepad are short a couple buttons. Even better if the shortcuts could be assigned.
[Shield General] skarpass:
4k game stream not working same as NVidia app not support monitor aspect ratio 21:9 useless
[Shield General] alsheron:
When I tried it I was getting around 55ms latency accoring to Moonlight - which made it just the wrong side of playable- is that what you mean? Is this likely/possible to be improved in Moonlight given the Mediatek chip in the FireTV(2015)?
[Shield General] Xenosis:
55ms is pretty playable so long as there isn't stuttering as well. Many folks can play with ~100-150ms without too much hindrance. More than that and you're getting into grey area. Also depends what your playing though.
[Shield General] mrgoochio:
Are the tier1/2/3 devices still up to date on the original post? I'm looking at picking up a box to replace my HTPC and run moonlight for a mirrored desktop experience on my 60" tv and I'm searching for something for the best streaming experience. I was looking at the nvidia shield but I don't need the gamepad. I already have a few dualshock 4 controllers as well as wii u pro controllers. In any case, I'm looking to use a wireless keyboard and mouse.

I'd like a device with the following, if possible:

Ethernet port for solid connection

At least 1 USB port for a USB expansion dongle or multiple USB ports for wireless mouse/keyboard/headphone capability

HDMI connectivity for TV at 1080p/60fps (4K/60fps is not important at this point)

Rootable for the rooted version of moonlight

Storage on this device does not need to be much, its essentially a mirror for my gaming PC.
[Shield General] jpeich:
Consider a shield android tv although you dont wan the gamepad. It is the most satisfying experience and setup is 0 sec. On the other side of the balance a raspberry pi2 with much more work (more fun?) although no 1080p 60fps to get the most of your big TV. Really SATV is the way to go.
[Shield General] mrgoochio:
I ordered one on amazon earlier tonight for $200 that also includes the remote. I'm just sad the gamepad will probably go to waste after installing full android on it and the remote will lose voice function unfortunately.. From what I gathered, it seems like the best product for moonlight.

It was either nvidia shield tv or try my luck with a steamlink for $50 :P
[Shield General] jpeich:
[MENTION=2844433]cgutman[/MENTION] Sorry for bothering you but I cannot get my thumbnails in Moonlight to show properly while Shiled hub does. Also is there a way to close the stream like gamestream does? My device is a SATV, no beta, up to date client and server.

Thanks
[Shield General] mrgoochio:
What kind of wired/wireless peripherals are you all using for playing PC games streamed with moonlight? I'm looking for a new keyboard/mouse setup for the bedroom.

I'd be sitting on the bed playing off a wall mounted TV so I was looking into wireless, but wireless latency and reception at that distance seems spotty.. could use some suggestions for that as well
[Shield General] nk33:
Yeah, xbox 360 wireless is the best one I have used. Works flawlessly. Not sure about keyboard / mouse combo from the bed… sounds a bit cumbersome… for me gamepads are always what I use when gaming..

Google Cast Support via Remote Display API

After searching through this thread, it looks like people have thought about the idea of Chromecast support. All the ideas seem to center around creating a video stream that the Chromecast would decode.

Has anyone explored the possibility of using the (relatively) new Google Cast Remote Display API? It looks like it can accept a GLSurfaceView as a content source, which seems like it would reduce latency since we're not re-encoding the stream.

The only reason I haven't just tried it myself is because there is a $5 (gasp) registration fee to develop these kind of application. I'd rather see if anyone has had any experience with it before I start exploring.

One downside is that the Remote Display API is only supported on Android and iOS at the moment, so there will be some inherent latency since the stream has to make it from your PC to your smart phone, then to your Chromecast (instead of a direct connection).

So yeah, let me know what you think. I don't have a problem dropping $5 (gasp) to try it out if somebody thinks its even remotely feasible.
[Shield General] NeutrinoNexus:
iOS has onscreen buttons bot android doesn't?

Why doesn't the android version of Moonlight Streaming include onscreen buttons like the iOS version? I don't have a controller and would love it if I could use the app without one.

Today I learned that the people that started this project went to Case Western Reserve University, I work in their Technology Services and use Moonlight all the time.

Congrats guys!!!! I use it to limit the bandwidth down to 1 Mbps as my upload at home sucks :D
[Shield General] drdoolittle:
Well sure, 55ms is not unplayable if you can cope with that kind of lag. But a 0,5 second lag really means something when playing rpgs, platformers, action or shooter games as you will alway notice the lag and the feeling of the game is kind of "spongy".
[Shield General] Xenosis:
55ms is 445ms less than 0.5s. 0.5s would be pretty terrible.
[Shield General] nk33:
WELL SAID
[Shield General] drdoolittle:
Sorry, you're right. But even 55ms are noticeable, especially when playing platformers or such where you have be precise in timing.
[Shield General] nk33:
Not really.
[Shield General] drdoolittle:
That's your opinion, the facts say otherwise.
[Shield General] Zenety:
Just found this app and it's amazing. Didn't think it would work this smooth. I set up a VPN between my PC and Phone (Nexus 6) when I was at work (can't port forward), and even then it was really playable!

Thanks developers for the amazing work.

Made a small video with the performance through my VPN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp-t1JndJ-w
[Shield General] nk33:
out of curiosity, why cant you port forward?
[Shield General] Zenety:
A dad who works in IT and doesn't allow anyone near the router lol. When I host games I port forward my VPS public IP to my VPN IP. But when on VPN now it doesn't matter to port forward for Moonlight heh.
[Shield General] nk33:
yes of course - vpn is a good solution when dad is strict with firewall

[Shield General] Hobbes2099:
Is there a way to capture a log or trace the app within a local network? I've installed moonlight from Amazon's appstore onto my Fire TV. I used to connect the Fire TV to my router through 2.4 GHz wifi. Now that I've connected the Fire TV through a wired 10/100 Megabit hub, the lag remains the same (55ms) but the audio stutters and breaks up all the time.
[Shield General] cgutman:
Is your device rooted? Did you get a prompt for root access when starting the stream?

For StreamTheater, you need a Gear VR. However there are other ways to use Moonlight for VR (TrinusVR is one way).

Hard to tell. Know what exact SoC it's using?

Can you tell me what OS, GPU, and Java version you have on the PC you're trying to use? (not the PC with GFE)

Not sure about the audio stutter, but the 55 ms lag is known. The MediaTek decoders are just fairly high latency sadly. Moonlight spits out messages in the ADB logcat logs if it detects dropped packets, so you can look for those to see if that's why your audio is stuttering.

Limelight-pi 0.2 (Alpha)

I have uploaded anew version of Limelight-pi to Github. It contains some fixes for video from limelight-common and I have added support for gamepads using evdev. You can change the mapping of the gamepad using a mapping file of which a example is available in the git repository. I currently don't have a gamepad so it's untested. Next week I hope to receive my gamepad so I can make sure it's tested.

The most annoying problem is currently the audio delay. So I hope to fix that in a next release.

Binaries and source code of this release are of course available on Github https://github.com/irtimmer/limelight-pi/releases
[Shield General] tequilouz:
Thanks!

Im sorry but you can test with tomb raider :

Without streaming i can play my game on the tv with my 360 pad, but when i enable limelight on my asus memo pad smart 10, i can use the controller in steam big picture, play far cry3 or remember me without any problems but for tomb raider or hitman it launch the game and then, no response from the controller. I disable limelight and the controller works again.....

Salut, hi,

Je suis dans le même bateau que toi.

I have the same problem with my wired Xbox 360 controller with game like trine. Deadlight is working fine with my controller but when I test trine it does not find it. Like if it not detected. But when I does not stream every thing work fine. It does it on both my Android and PC versions.

Si je peux apporter ma petite pierre a l édifice effectivement le xinput du soft prend le dessus sur celui d une manette connectée sur le PC. Pour preuve j ai une manette Xbox branchée sur le PC et lorsque j utilise une moga pro sur le smartphone cette dernière prend le dessus. Sur certain jeux comme assassin créés iv il y a quand même possibilité de sélectionner le contrôleur dans les paramètres du jeu. En tout cas avec un N4 et une moga pro cette appli est un pur bonheur, un grand merci aux devloppers ! J en rêvais depuis longtemps.

If I can make my small contribution actually the input of the soft gets the upper hand over that of a lever connected on the PC. For proof I have a lever Cubicle(Garage,Dock) connected on the PC and when I utilie a Moga pro on the smartphone the latter gets the upper hand. On certain games(sets) as created murderer iv there is all the same possibility of selecting the controller in the parameters of the game(set,play). In any case with N4 and Moga pro this app is a pure happiness, one thank you in to develop! I dreamed about it for a long time.
