moonlight-android VS moonlight-qt

I could however play it through Moonlight Deskstop Stream using the mstmc.exe. This way I could just open Steam in Big Picture Mode then launch the game as always. However, once ing game, it has some weird visual glitch when walking in the streets of the city causing some stroboscopic effect in the textures which switch to a whitish washed-off color, and then back to normal darker colors, and then half a second later back to whitish colors, etc.

Just a guess since I don't have any Android devices but it sounds like it could be related to this bug: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android/issues/1108

Seems like you're not alone https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android/issues/1161

Moonlight Game Streaming (version 11.0): Play games from your PC on Android

Finished the native Android client of my desktop streamer and latency still sucks. I looked over at Moonlight's code and they have lots of vendor-specific hacks for lowering latency. But I can't just copy that because: 1) it's GPL, 2) I'm doing the decoder initialization purely in Rust so I don't have convenient access to the Java methods.

And the "Moonlight" app on your phone to access your PC: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android

I know little about this, but from reading the description this sounds like a replacement for the "server" side of it (running on the machine where the game is running), but the article is talking about ending support for the client side of it on the Shield (please correct me if I am wrong)

In which case, perhaps a better replacement is something like this: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android

> I’m sure there’s a way to transmit those frames over a network if one was clever enough

Something like Sunshine[1], coupled with Moonlight[2]?

I found this https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/issues/967

You could use sunshine (https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine) + moonlight (https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt). To be honest, at least for me, it works better than most of the RDP/VNC stuff.

I discovered the moonlight client and sunshine server a few months ago. These are open source solutions to provide remote gaming/desktop capabilities with built in input and audio passthrough. I tried NoMachine, but I wasn't able to get audio to work. This looks like a known issue on arch. On sunshine, I didn't have to do any extra tweaking! This allowed me to game on my desktop pc without having to sit at my desk. This was especially helpful while watching my 2nd son. I was really impressed by the performance, I could stream my host's display at high resolutions and frame rates with low latency despite my desktop being in the basement using WiFi. I was getting some instability with WiFi, so I wanted to try connecting my desktop to the router via Ethernet. I decided to go with a headless solution because that gives me more flexibility on the placement of the desktop; I ended up moving my desktop upstairs closer to my router. I figured out a way to stream my hosts display headless by using Nvidia TwinView to create the virtual display. This means I don't need to buy any HDMI/DP dummy plugs. I wrote a Linux Guide for sunshine on how to set this up. If you have any feedback on this guide, let me know! I haven't tried this, but wolf is an interesting docker alternative to sunshine.
