I've tried everything said on this thread and many others. One thing I just noted in this thread was that his wireless controller said "New USB device found, idVendor=045e, idProduct=0719" and when I use USB Device Info it states that my wired xbox controller has "Vendor ID: 045e Product ID: 07d5" from Android and "Vendor ID: 045e Product ID: 028e" from Linux.

I checked my system/usr/keylayout folder and I have the "Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl" for android but not the one for linux, so I made a duplicate of the file and renamed it "Vendor_045e_Product_07d5.kl" just cause, no change. But may this be my problem? That all the fixes i've read on only applies to Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl & Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl and nowhere I can find info about the Product ID's my phone detects?

Others have the same problem as me, but my problem isn't only tied to Cyanogenmod

I guess all I'm missing is the Xpad.ko support...

Can't find the Xpad when checking my modules with 'ls /sys/module/' and 'ls /system/lib/modules/'.

And I found Here that in SOME Xpad file I found on google had:

123 { 0x045e, 0x028e, "Microsoft X-Box 360 pad", 0, XTYPE_XBOX360 },

Which matches the info I got from the Linux part "Vendor ID: 045e Product ID: 028e".

Now my problem is, how can I find a compatible Xpad file for Cyanogenmod?

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me: No right clicking! I am using Windows 8.1, Xperia Z2 and Geforce Experience 2.1.1.1 and driver version 340.52

I'll try updating my android to 17.1.2.A.0.323 and try again

Edit: Somehow I can't install the new android update. I guess it has something to do with my device being rooted (Doom Kernel).

Perhaps you should calm down and be a little more appreciative of the time people take to help others here and maybe realize that somebody who COULD answer this question just hasn't visited the thread yet today
[Shield General] nk33:
well I have posted the question above (about the message the app Steam is not in GFE app list) 3 times in the last few weeks and everyone just ignores it....
[Shield General] cgutman:
I'd try a clean reinstall of GFE and your Nvidia drivers.

The gesture to right click is a tap of the second finger while the first finger is still on the screen, not a double tap. Dragging isn't supported yet. I need to figure out a drag gesture that people won't accidentally set off during normal usage (same with opening the keyboard). Suggestions are welcome.
[Shield General] cgutman:
This error is because Steam wasn't detected by GFE. You could try rescanning for games. If you have Steam installed in a custom location, try moving it to the default install path.

If you've got Limelight on Android, you can take a look at the app list and try to find "Steam". That's what Limelight PC looks for.

It's not that anyone is trying to ignore you. We just don't always have the answers.
[Shield General] nk33:
Hi Mate,

I didnt need to install Steam for Limelight to work on Android - as long as i had GFE in there it was happy.

I only installed steam for limelight to work on pc as i thought i had to because of the error message.

eg if i uninstall steam, i can still use limelight from my android devices to play my games both locally and remotely...
[Shield General] NapalmDawn:
You'd have a rightful position to be a bit upset. The guy above's question was only a few hours old. I just kind of despise that type of attitude in a forum of peers and not paid support.

No just the stock windows firewall and I added all the port
[Shield General] nk33:
Have you tried disabling it just in case?
[Shield General] saintdawson:
Yup I turn the firewall off, on going to the settings. Right now it will show my pc as offline but I'm using so I don't understand
[Shield General] ofb:
First off, to get you connected, and yes you probably have already done this but... make sure that under preferences in GFE, you have a gamestream option on the left side and that when you click on it, gamestreaming is either set to local or local and internet instead of off/disabled.

Make sure you have "Quality Windows Audio Video Experience" aka qWave installed in the windows features. Go to programs and features, turn windows features on and off, then look under there for it. If it's installed, go to c:\program files\Nvidia Corporation\NvStreamSrv\ and run nvstreamer.exe by double clicking on it. If it gives an error instead of bringing up a command prompt style windows (black screen/white text) that the last line says "Starting the client serve loop..." then post your error and maybe we can help you better.
[Shield General] saintdawson:
So I don't have the qwave installed but I'm doing a lot of update on my pc I'm running windows 7 I'm it sure if that might be a problem

Kindle Fire Question

Does this work with Kindle Fire without loading in the Play Store. I noticed that Limelight app is in the Amazon App Store but im unable to download it as it states "Not Compatibility with your devices" which is Kindle Fire HD 7 Inch.

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

So im able to get this to work on my Phone which is a S4 but I have a question on using steam in big picture mode.

When I click on Steam Application it launches it and go into big picture mode and I can see it running on my phone and on my PC but the resolution or something is all messed as im unable to see any menu or anything on my phone with limelight install and also same goes for my PC. Now if I just do a normal launch of steam from my PC and then go into big picture mode everything looks fine. Any idea's?
[Shield General] ofb:
If qwave is not installed and you do have the option to do so, please do as GFE does require it. Also, something I just came across, make sure the NvStreamSvc is running under services. If it's not, and starting causes it to instantly stop again, uninstall GFE and install the one that comes with your NVidia drivers, for some reason the updated GFE (2.1.1.1) is having issues, at least on my computer. Going back to 2.1.1 which comes with the 340.52 desktop drivers fixed my issue just now.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

You might try opening steam, going into settings and telling it to open in big picture mode every time, then exit and see if that helps, that's the only thing I can think of to try, well, other than trying different resolutions on your desktop and in limelight app.

As for installing it on your kindle fire, have you tried to sideload it using one of the apk files from here? https://github.com/limelight-stream/limelight-android
[Shield General] shamus252:
Steam/Desktop are set at 1080p and limelight app is set at 1080p and still a no go even tried setting desktop to 1280x720 and limelight to 720p 60fps and 30fps and nothing. Nvidia Shield supported games work just fine its just I can't do steam.

I took a pic I took of my monitor when I try to launch steam via limelight and screen on my phone looks the same but forums wont let me add link or Image cause I don't have 10 post yet which is dumb.

How do I go about removing games from the list? I'm trying to delete all the games from my Steam library and then add them all to my Nvidia steaming list so I can do away with Steam. I went into Steam and removed all the game shortcuts in Steam, but they still show up in Limelight. I don't want duplicates once I start adding games in the Nvidia steaming list...
[Shield General] nk33:
I dont get it...

Streaming PC to Android, no need for steam, can add games to GFE manually, all works fine..

Streaming PC to PC, for some reason you have to have steam installed??? Doesnt make sense...why doesnt the pc version of Limelight just go straight to GFE like the android version...simple and streams games effortlessly???

Need some help streaming on tegra note 7, the bluetooth gamepad always disconects when I start using limelight, is there any way to fix this? iv tried with moga and ipega controllers.

The first-generation Kindle Fire HD 7 is not supported. The Fire OS version that runs on the first-gen Kindle Fire HD 7 is based on Android 4.0 but Limelight doesn't run on anything older than 4.1. The second-generation Fire HD 7 (running Fire OS 3.0) does support Limelight.

There's a thread on this on Nvidia's forums: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/766481/?comment=4280416

An outside developer did work to add this feature into Limelight PC, but I didn't merge it because it broke manual IP address entry. The author should update it soon so it can be a candidate for merging again.

That's very strange. I have no idea how Limelight could cause a controller to be disconnected. We don't have permissions to touch Bluetooth at all. Have you tried rebooting your tablet?

I have now sucessfully downgraded my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 to Stock Android 4.1.2. Controller still doesn't work. I can also say that I started beliveing it was my wired Xbox 360 controller or OTG cables fault, but I tried them in a Sony Smartphone (friend of mines) and it worked like a charm. I am getting REALLY frustrated about this problem. Isn't there any way to get it to work!?
[Shield General] Milardo:
It works!

Just tested the root version of limelight gamestreaming from the play store with a couple of games- Halo Combat Evolved PC and MDK2 and using an external keyboard and mouse on a Chuwi V17HD. I have full control with my mouse and keyboard when playing the game, it's like I am playing a game right from my computer but i'm actually playing on my android tablet! Thanks very much cgutman.

A question though, if i play over the internet, is it the server or client that would take up the bandwidth (meaning use up data)? Also, when i quit the game it goes to this nvidia gamestream screen? How to quit it? Right now I have to go to my pc to quit that screen/application. Also, will there be way to use my gt650m laptop with limelight? I remembered there is some gfe emulator in the works? How's that coming along? Thanks again.

[MENTION=5997202]ElectricPulze[/MENTION] i alsow had problems with my ps3 controller. is your controller working with other games? if so, did you know your vendor_????_Product_????.kl you can find it with catlog

if so you can download the xbox kl files some pages back and open the one thats for xbox controller and not for logitech .kl, just open with wordpad to see for what device its for, its in there. if you found those and you know yours vendor_product numeber, just rename the one in keylayout and the one in keychars to yours vendor_product, then move them to sd or internal and with a root explorer move those in system map found in root directory. restart/reboot system, and bam ive got fully support of mine ps3 controller, only thing for my was the xperia ps3 controller syncs the buttons wrong, so i had to use sixaxis controller app and bind the correct keys and been playing with around 34ms so ist not perfect but pretty close, i just mainly use for desktop exploring and running games straight from the desktop folder and it works perfect, klick a game on desktop and bam got controller support just by launvhing it from the desktop folder or for vlc just for movies. for vlc this is the BOM and browsing your pc aswell just for the fun of it :)

Okay, I downloaded Limelight and it finds my PC without a problem. Once I click on the PC to start the pairing, both pairing windows (the one on my Galaxy S3 with the Code and the one on my PC to enter the code) appear, but once I enter the code, both windows disappear and there appears an empty box on my phone. What's my problem?
[Shield General] ElectricPulze:
Thank you for your response. My problem is that my controller isn't working with other games. I've tried with GTA San Andreas and Dead Trigger. I can't even get my controller to control the launcher as seen on youtube. I can however get my controller to work on other phones. But neither my or my sisters i9305 work with it. My sisters i9305 is not tampered with, mine however is at the moment rooted Stock Samsung 4.1.2.

I've tried with stock&rooted

Samsung 4.3

,

Cyanogenmod 11

(nightly),

Cyanogenmod 10.1.3

,

AOSB 1.3.6

,

PAC-ROM

and

OMNI 4.4.4

.

I think the problem is that I don't have a xpad.ko and I've failed to find one I can install (and by install I mean I cannot find a xpad.ko file that I can INSMOD as Superuser in terminalemulator, the ones I've tried with only gives me "failed (Exec format error)").

If I ever can get my controller to work with my phone + Limelight, I'll give the app 5 stars and help my friend (I have 2 friends who have the same phone and problem as me). I would be SO happy if I could find some fix for this!!!

[Shield General] Dylbot:
Just wanted to post an update since the last time I tried Limelight:

Moto G, iPega 9025 over BT - Still laggy as hell but not quite as bad as before. Still unplayable, probably due to using bluetooth for the pad. Expected result.

Tegra Note 7, iPega 9025 over BT - MASSIVE improvement. Average latency never went above 10ms, and the controls worked flawlessly. Jury rigged myself a Shield using the iPega's telescopic stand thing and a bit of blu-tack to hold it in place. If your device can handle using Limelight with a bluetooth pad I'd strongly recommend it now.

Rikomagic MK802IV (RK3188 based Android TV stick), Wireless 360 pad + usb receiver - First I tried this with the receiver plugged into the host, controls didn't work. Plugged the receiver into the stick instead, at 720p/60 it works wonders. Playing through Metro Last Light on my TV now. Aside from a small amount of stutter every now and then (barely noticeable) this is working miles better than I expected.

Excellent work CGutman - you should chuck up a donate version of the app.
[Shield General] ElectricPulze:
That's why I've tried different roms... I'm new to this root and rom thing for android so I hoped that if I tried different roms I would find ONE that supported my gamepad and then I'll just get used to that one. In this thread they say:

"xpad.ko doesn't work with siyah kernel, exec format error.....

That doesn't surprise me, it'll have to be rebuilt at some stage for Siyah specifically."

So I've tried to insmod the 3 xpad.ko's I've found on XDA on all different kernels but none have worked. How could I solve this?

I found a bug-reporting site for Cyanogenmod where a dude reported:

"Hi,

currently my Nexus 5 (hammerhead) with CM11 (latest nightly) doesn't recognize my XBox 360 controller connected via USB-OTG cable.

I think it's because the missing xpad.ko kernel module."

and later he commented:

"OK, after playing around with compiling CM11 on my own, it turned out that you just have to enable this in the kernel config.

Please add it as standart !"

I mailed him and asked "how can I enable the xpad.ko file in the kernel config?" and got this response:

"HI,

did you already compiled CM11 for Hammerhead ?

If so, try this and recompile it:

#copy your existing config to your kernel directory
cp android/system/kernel/lge/hammerhead/arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_hammerhead_defconfig android/system/kernel/lge/hammerhead/.config

#go into kernel directory
cd android/system/kernel/lge/hammerhead/

#call make menuconfig to perform your changes
make menuconfig ARCH=arm

#copy your new config to old place
cp .config ~/android/system/kernel/lge/hammerhead/arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_hammerhead_defconfig

#clean up
make mrproper

That's just how to reconfigure the kernel. Of cause you have to enable the xpad module there.

Give me a short answer if it helped."

I have actually no idea of what I should do, never compiled android code and read somewhere it demands a Linux OS. Does anyone have EASIER fix than me having to get into the source code and get lost? The further I explore this problem, the longer the tunnel seems to get.

i tested it on wiko wax (20ms), wikipad (20ms), asus padfone infinity (50ms) and note 3 (42ms). everythings works really good but not that good as on my shield portable or shield tablet. the wired thing is my friends note 3 runs with 1ms.:eek:

[Shield General] cgutman:
It shouldn't interfere with your keyboard. If I've understood you correctly, you're playing with TF701's keyboard dock as your keyboard and a bluetooth mouse as your mouse?

I might have some idea of what's causing it.

yes i play with bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mousse. if i play with lime light for non root user i have the keyboard but the mousse dont run corectly. what is your idea ? thanks

Envoyé de mon K00C en utilisant Tapatalk
[Shield General] cgutman:
The issue is that your keyboard dock also shows up like a mouse, so Limelight grabs it for mouse input. When you try to send keyboard button presses with it, Limelight throws those away because it's not expecting them from something it thinks is a mouse. This build will disconnect from any device that it receives an unexpected event from. Your first key press will cause the mouse reader to disconnect, further key presses will work properly.

See if this build fixes it:

Cameron could you please explain a bit more what exactly are hardware decoder latency and client side frame latency and what are the elements playing a role in the result?

I'm trying the rooted version through tethered USB on my PC (equipped with an Intel core i5-3450 + GTX670 and 8GB of ram) in order to make some testing without the wifi signal floating.

I'm experiencing about 100ms of both HW decode and client side [MENTION=921577]1080P[/MENTION]30 on my Nexus 7 2013 with Franco kernel and it seems to be a bit too much compared to the results the other are doing. Doing the same [MENTION=3621271]720p[/MENTION]60 lowers the latency to about 50ms (while 720p30 stands on mid eighties and 1080p60 raise the latency to 200ms on client side probably due limited HW capabilities). I also tried with my Nexus 5 (Franco Kernel there too) and i got about 35ms [MENTION=3621271]720p[/MENTION]60.

On the other hand, in the only test i did in the past with the Nexus 7 2012 (tegra 3) via wifi I got about 24ms [MENTION=3621271]720p[/MENTION]60) and this brought me some curiosity about the whole scenario.

Any tips?

Thanks
