moonlight-docs VS moonlight-android

I actually have a setup a cool gamepad layout using steam so controller is not an issue, I already play with a controller on my PC. The issue is streaming quality. I've tried with Moonlight and Steam Link (using NVIDIA SHIELD GameStream like this)

You need to install nvidia game experience on your PC, and moonlight on your shield, then follow instructions from the setup guide

There is a guide on how to do it: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide

Moonlight can also stream your local games over Internet so you dont need to be on the same Wifi network, but that requires an additional software on your PC. Check the guide here (scroll down to Streaming Over The Internet): https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide/2e7b42f5c37fcaef103ef64e893d0964069d7ffe

Is it an nvidia graphics card? If so ive had better success with moonlight. https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide Ive gotten 120fps 1080p streaming with 0 frame loss

Not particularly, especially since you likely already have NVIDIA GeForce Experience installed. You can follow the setup guide here. It may look daunting, but it's really just a variety of alternatives if the automatic configuration doesn't work or you want a specific configuration.

you can also read moonlight’s page about it

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
