This is the problem I'm having. For whatever reason, the Xbox 360 controller can navigate me through the steam menus while streaming, but the second I jump into a game, it doesn't let me control anything. It will let me call up the steam menu again with the xbox button, but not control the game. This is using a xbox 360 controller (wireless with dongle) connected to the PC.

I don't have a HID controller connected to the Android device during this scenario. I tried to just use a Moga Pro, but when the gamepad is connected the stream breaks up and fails. The stream seems perfectly playable when I don't have a controller connected to the android device (not sending controller commands over limelight) but, for whatever reason, I'm having the above problem with the controller connected directly to the PC.

Would love to have a solution to this. I'm actually trying to use it to MHL my phone out to my TV and using limelight as an intermediary between my gaming PC and my TV. Would be really handy.
[Shield General] tequilouz:
i hope someone will find a solution to this problem, i think there is something to do with the controls streaming, maybe there is a solution to desactivate this, and then the xbox 360 controller plugged on pc will have priority.....

Whatever great job guys ! Thank you so much it's a wonderful app !

Hi, i am having problems with the last alpha version of limelight pc 0.3, it starts but it hangs when trying to start video streaming! the previous version works fine thought, i also try downloading and running ffmpeg package. for osx.

Can you upload the output.log and error.log files from the Limelight folder in your home directory?
[Shield General] jjprichards:
Not sure if this has been asked... But with the rooted chromecast, would it possible to have chromecast be the receiver for the stream, and cast from limelight app?

Chromecast contains the Marvell 88DE3005 (Armada 1500-mini) system on a chip, which includes codecs for hardware decoding of the VP8 and H.264 video compression formats. Radio communication is handled by AzureWave NH–387 Wi-Fi which supports 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz). The device has 512 MB of Micron DDR3L RAM and 2 GB of flash storage.[54][55]

This would complete my life.
[Shield General] Aaronneyer:
It seems like it should be possible, I'll see if I can figure out how to use the Google Cast SDK.
[Shield General] jjprichards:
Haha dope!
[Shield General] diegof18:
Sorry, prevoius version generate them in the same folder it runs the jar. alpha 0.3 its not generating the logs any where not even in myHomeUser/limelight.

360 controller Dpad

Hi,

The streaming works perfectly on PC, but when I try to map the DPAD of the 360 controller I can only map one axis.

For example, if I map D-pad left it says "AXIS 6" and I can't map D-pad right as it will remove "AXIS 6" from D-pad left.

So it makes the dpad unusable.

Any clue how to work this out ?

Thnaks
[Shield General] goebish:
I'm having the same issue here, it can pair but I've the same thing happening when I try to stream.

It opens sound properties dialog and there's a ''starting video stream failed" error on the Android side after a few seconds or when I click the OK

button in the dialog.

Interesting thing, when I want to exit big picture mode I've the choice to stop streaming:

Any solution to this problem ?
[Shield General] MalaBouM:
J ai eu le même problème j ai simplement mis par défaut la sortie audio HDMI virtuelle.
[Shield General] goebish:
Thanks a bunch MalaBouM, that works !

I was even surprised to have sound output on my tablet (Nexus 7), I thought sound was not implemented yet :D

Time to buy a new wifi (N) router... I'm still using an old Wifi G router hence I've lag, but it's working.

I wanted to buy a NVidia Shield but it's not available in Europe... I don't need one anymore :p

Very good work !

edit: just made a small video, 720p @ 30fps, WiFi G (54Mbps)

Gamepad in limelight-pi not5 working

Hello irtimmer,

i have tried to get my Xbox360 Gamepad (wireless) working with limelight-pi but wasn´t lucky doing so. I´m a little bit confused about using Gamepads/Joysticks with linux at all. Could you tell which modules have to be loaded to get it working? On my Raspbiasn setup the receiver is detected right and the xpad module gets loaded, i have even tried by unloading xpad and using xboxdrv instead. Running evtest looks good all over.

When i started limelight i got error messages about "no number set..." (don´t remember exactly) and another message "no mapping..." for the btn_east entry. I found a little typo (btn_east was called "btn_easth" in another jar file i don´t remember which one it was exactly, too). Renaming to "btn_easth" in default.config works. I even removed the ";" at the end of each line and the error messages passed away (whether this is good or not) but i still got no Gamepad input. I suspect something in the keymapping (something like written in capitals or not for example) between evdev, limelight and GFE because from what i know and could see it should work.

Mouse and keyboard are working very well now, same i have to say for the hole limelight-(pi, Andropid, PC)-thing. Great progress so far! I could imagine that this could become one of the most important gaming apps ever. Regarding to the pretty short time you got this all working i´m rather impressed. I think that the possibility of using cheap devices to play your games on TV will change a lot!

Thank you all again! :highfive:
[Shield General] cgutman:
It seems to be related to the NVIDIA OpenGL stack. As a temporary workaround, you can run Moonlight in windowed mode.
[Shield General] nk33:
But the previous pc version of moonlight works fine…i am just using that until you fix the issue…
[Shield General] bodhisattvah:
The new Moonlight works amazing! I've streamed around my house and even across town without too much trouble.

My only problem is that I can't get a keyboard and mouse to work for the life of me. I'm trying with Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas, and Fallout 3. Nothing. The arrow keys only work in the main menu...not in the games themselves. My original Moga controller works ok, but the little Moga doesn't have enough buttons to cover all the actions.) I've googled a lot and read through this thread extensively...nobody seems to be having my problems.

I'm on a Note 3, rooted, 4.4.2. I've tried both BT and USB keyboards/touchpads.

TIA!

Were you using the win32 jar? If so, try redownloading it from the releases page. The win32 H264 decoding JNI library was built with incorrect compilation options causing the video decoder thread to crash (which looks like a hang while starting the connection).
[Shield General] hervedumoulinarc:
About

Im using win64 jar. anyway instead of trying on my old pc I tried on my surface pro for thelast version of the client, steam launched in fullscreen mode..:). just cannot get maximum resolution... I don't now why, maybe due to my host pc that have lower resolution

I think your app is great.there are so many possibility, you do great job.

are you saying you have modified the file so that if i download it again i will get a different file? otherwise what will re-downloading it do? if it soesnt work it doesnt work right?

[Shield General] skully213:
Escape, windows , alt+2 =@ not working on my bluetooth keyboard

This following key not working on moonlight rooted, is that normal?
[Shield General] sagaopc:
use moonlight with beta version Geforce Eperience (version 2.10.1.2). I can't connect with this version!
[Shield General] nk33:
Just to be clear, i have 2 choice:

1) if i get samsung gear VR, i can use streamtheatre sideloaded at the same time as moonlight and this will convert all my games to VR while i play them? giving me the whole vr experience?

or

2) i can get a box vr (cheaper option) and use Trinus VR instead?

What is the downside to the 2nd option - as it is the cheaper one...?
[Shield General] cgutman:
The Windows key issue is known. I tried the other keys you had issues with and they are working for me (tried with root enabled and disabled).

Can you check that NVIDIA Streaming Service is running on your PC? Can you also try going to https://127.0.0.1:47984/serverinfo on your PC and tell me what happens?

StreamTheater has a VR theater mode which works okay, but you can't just magically convert games that weren't designed for it. You'll need PC-side software to create the SBS view. Even then you might or might not be satisfied with the outcome. Personally, I like simply using the large screen theater rather than VR mode in StreamTheater.

I'd try #2 before buying the box just to make sure the latency looks okay. Even without a proper head unit, you can eyeball the latency and performance. I think Trinus's head tracking is better than StreamTheater's (since Trinus has PC-side software).
[Shield General] nk33:
Thanks for your help… but am I not correct in saying that in order to try number 2, I still have to buy a basic vr box like cardboard etc?
[Shield General] naddel81:
disappointing quality?

hi @ all,

got my pi2 (retropie) running moonlight. unfortunately the screen is tearing even with vsync. I run it wired, of course.

Is the pi2 able to handle a 1080p/60fps stream? I read that the max it can handle lagfree is 1080p/30fps. I would rather use a spare PC as a streaming client than my pi2, but "This port is not nearly as functional or high performance as other Moonlight clients." is stated on the PC clients of moonlight. Is steam inhome streaming the better alternative?

best wishes!

Not quite, I'm suggesting to trying it without the VR box (just hold it up to your face). Move back and forth like you would with the headset and make sure the tracking stuff looks good before buying the box for it.

It's actual tearing, not just stuttering? You can get the Pi 2 to handle 1080p60 pretty easily with a small tweak to the config.txt file. Be sure that you're not doing any other overclocking before adding those lines to prevent voiding your warranty.

Intermittent Audio/Video Stutter Problem

First of all, kudos to the developers of Moonlight. I'm using it in conjunction with Trinus and Vireio as a cheap VR solution, and when it all works, it works awesomely well (eat your heart out Oculus!). However, I have run into a rather annoying intermittent issue with moonlight that I thought I'd share the details about to see if anyone has any ideas how to fix it.

Most of the time limelight works great, but every minute or so, my phone screen will lock up or drop to a couple FPS, image quality will be severely degraded, and sound will be garbled. This can last anywhere from one to a few seconds. Here's my setup:

Phone:

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5

PAC-Man ROM (based on Android 5.1.1)

Kernel: 3.4.0 cyanogenmod, build date Aug 14 2015

Latest version of Moonlight, target resolution 1920x1080 60fps, generally 10-20mbps bitrate

Connected to my 5.8 Ghz home network

Computer:

Intel Core i5 3570K

Geforce GTX 670 running GFE 2.9.1.22 and 361.43 Drivers

Rosewill RNWD-N9003PCe running latest Qualcomm Atheros Drivers

Fully updated Windows 10 Installation

ASUS RT-N66U running Merlin firmware

In terms of troubleshooting, here's what I've tried with no success

Disabling cell radio

Disabling background apps in developer options in android (was hoping that would kill apps that may be hogging bandwidth, although I know that's not quite how this feature works)

Switching between 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz networks--I actually get the problem worse on my 2.4Ghz network, plus additional lag

Increasing/decreasing target bit rate--this sort of works. The problem occurs less frequently if I dial the target bitrate from 20mbps to 10mbps, and doesn't really seem to occur at all when I dial it down to 1mbps, although at this bitrate games obviously look terrible. The thing is, 99% streaming works fine at 20mbps, except for when I experience the issue above. My suspicion is that something is causing my connection bandwidth to tank on either my phone or computer when the problem is happening, but I don't know what's causing it.

I've also searched through this thread, and while it seems like I'm not the only one experiencing this problem, I haven't found a viable solution yet.

Assuming something is killing my bandwidth, any ideas about what it could be? Or barring that, a good program I can use on my phone or computer to see what's using my bandwidth?
[Shield General] naddel81:
@ cgutman, thanks for your reply. I tested moonlight on a "real" PC to make sure the Pi2 performance was not the bottleneck. It was OK, but not quite what I expected.

Then I tested Steam Inhome-Streaming to make sure it was not the network or the hardware. And guess what: It works like a charm even in 1080p/60fps. What is the difference? What does Steam do differently?
[Shield General] sagaopc:
Yup. But strangely solved the problemas with a reboot on modem. Now it works fine with gfe beta

Problems to solve

Hello I am having several problems before I can start enjoying this great program, here is the situation:

Running Moonlight Streamer (root) on a rooted Oppo R7g smartphone.

Problems:

1) When running the app gamma shoots up and all blacks become grayish, destroying the image quality of the Oled screen

-Is this a compatibility issue or should I install a program such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamkang.fauxdisplay&hl=en (even though it says it is for the Nexus 4 would it work on my Oppo?), or should I get https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamkang.fauxclock&hl=en (it doesn't specify a phone model, would this work on my Oppo?)

2) I am using an Ipega-9021 controller with the Oppo and I got it paired through Bluetooth. It works fine for game apps but I get no response to my inputs within the Moonlight app in the main interfaces or when I start a PC game.

Any help or advice is appreciated

-edit1 I figured out something, when I use the force software decoding option gamma remains as it should, however the performance drops to unplayable levels!

-edit2 After updating to the latest Moonlight version the grayed blacks persist no matter what option I choose
[Shield General] Caktuz:
I have just started using this app and I love it. It runs buttery smooth on my LG G3. One feature I'm really missing though is a fake 3d/sbs mode. When using Trinus vr, I have to use the build 3d mode in non moonlight mode which is super laggy or in moonlight mode with tridef 3d running on my pc which makes the resolution output really low. Please add Sbs! :)
[Shield General] Voltron ish:
I am using my PC to stream to my Nexus 9 tablet. When I click on the Steam icon, it tries to start and eventually times out with "Connection terminated." Any ideas?

Also, my connection while streaming is bad and I get a warning most of the time, except for 720p 10mbps. At 720p 10mbps, there still is lagging and skipping but not as bad. My router is an Apple Airport Extreme N dual band and my internet speed is 5GHZ 15ms delay 110down/10up on my Nexus 9 (using Ookla Speedtest app), which is the full speed I get from IP. Nothing else was using the internet. With this internet speed and tablet, I should be able to stream 1080p 100mbps, no problem. Right? Any ideas?

Hi !

I'm trying to stream Kodi with Jarvis with an android tablet. Using Moonlight for rooted device on Asus tablet with usb output. All is working fine (very low latency) but just one thing : I can't get Kodi working with a wired XBox360 controller. All games are responding fine to the controller (even Steam). But when it comes to Kodi or Launch Box, no way to make it work. All is working fine on the PC with the controller. I tried all kinds of set up related to the Joystick. Even tried to unplug mouse and keyboard to see if it was a conflict but no luck.

Anyone made it work ?

Thanks a lot in advance ! :)
[Shield General] cgutman:
Steam uses hardware accelerated video decoding. Moonlight for PC currently doesn't, but all other Moonlight clients do and should be smooth.

Moonlight for PC is going to be nuked soon because it sucks. It really tends to be objectively worse than Steam's client on PC. It will be replaced by something much nicer (with hardware acceleration and no Java requirement).

1) The gamma issue is most likely an issue with the hardware decoder. I don't know if there's anything that can be done to fix it. There's no way that I know to tell the decoder to modify the gamma settings.

2) Weird, probably a controller mapping issue. Can you download this app and see if it recognizes your gamepad inputs? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chiarly.gamepad&hl=en

What Android version is running on your device?

I'd check using an app like AIDA64 and make absolutely sure you're on 5 GHz. If you are, download Wifi Analyzer and see if your network overlaps with your neighbors. If so, choose a different channel in your router settings.

Might not be much we can do here. Some games or apps don't support Nvidia's virtual controller code.

(sorry, only just registered so can't paste links)

It looks like Steam Big Picture over NVidia GameStream was broken by the most recent Steam update (2nd Feb 2016.) Apparently this problem had been present in the beta and was rolled out into the main version. To be fair, I don't think it's a Valve bug but the way NVidia were launching Steam in Big Picture mode no longer works - it doesn't seem to initiate big picture at all on the host machine if you watch it.

The problem goes away if Steam isn't running before you try to run it. For me, that's no good as I need steam running for those moments I'm using regular Steam In-Home Streaming, and I need to be able to launch Steam itself as I'm running the embedded version of moonlight on a Pi and use Steam to select the relevant game. :(

I'm hoping NVidia will get on this and fix it ASAP. Cross your fingers!

Warm Regards

So a number of things;

First and foremost, I love the app and how it's evolved over time. I really think you should sell the onscreen controller emulator as a paid / donation app to support your work.

Anyhow, I'm attaching what I hope is a useful logcat (fitst time user). I hope it helps you detect the following:

I log in and see four icons:

- Ori which I recently installed.

- the Steam logo which sends me to big picture mode immediately.

- the Steam logo again, which behaves in the same way.

- Team Fortress 2 icon.

I'm getting disconnected when I enter Steam. No matter which of the two icons I press, I enter normally, app streams perfectly and the connection terminates after one minute.

I've created the logcat using alogcat and applying "limelight" as the filter at verbose level. Please let me know if I should provide the logcat differently.

Hope you can help me figure this out.

Additionally, and that's why I post it separately; I've tried Moonlight on a number of tablets and phones and always seems to have problems connecting to my PC through wifi and at the same time have an active Bluetooth connection. A DS3 or DS4 for example.

While the tablets and phones might not have always been the very best, I've had this issue with the Xperia Z3 Compact and I'm sensing the same problem with the Z4 tablet.
[Shield General] nk33:
If you connect to a 2.4ghz network and have BT controller connected at the same time, you will always 100% get this issue, even if you have the best phone/tablet in the world. 2 solutions are to either get a 5ghz wifi access point or use a wireless or wired 360 controller

Games start but then lock up/quit

I am using the latest version of Moonlight and GFE - on the remote machine (raspberry pi 2, pc, and android) I see my library, can select games (Fallout 4) and then start the game. In the case of Fallout 4, I can get all the way to the "Continue" button. At this point the mouse disappears and the keyboard stops working. Eventually the Moonlight client quits and I am back at the desktop. Similar behavior on other games. I tried going back to GFE 2.5 but it had the same behavior as well. I have a GTX 970.
