moonlight-tv VS microwindows

Technically, the LG C2 should be more than capable of 4K and 120 Hz, as the free Moonlight client (https://github.com/mariotaku/moonlight-tv) shows. When and if the WebOS GFN client will be updated to offer the full experience is anyones guess unfortunately.

I am using moonlight on my LG C8 and the surround sound does not work for me, I only get stereo. Check out this github issue for background info. YMMV of course but I would not get my hopes up

I’m curious, are you using the Lg oled? If so, can you install moonlight on webos? https://github.com/mariotaku/moonlight-tv

I did it from my PC using WebOS after activating developper mode. It is all explained here : Moonlight on LG TVs

You can sideload https://github.com/mariotaku/moonlight-tv onto the TV, and use Nvidia Game Streaming to stream your desktop to the TV directly through the TVs apps. It works great, can do 4k + HDR + controller passthrough and has low latency over wired ethernet. It's similar to using an Nvidia Shield, but won't cost you anything.

It's this version of Moonlight which I installed using this.

Interesting link!

If we look at this directory:

https://github.com/ghaerr/microwindows/tree/master/src/drive...

Most notably the source files that start with 'scr_', and of those most notably: scr_sdl2.c, scr_win32.c, scr_x11.c, scr_djvesa.c, scr_fb.c -- we see that this windowing system can apparently run on top of an existing windowing system, whether that system is SDL2, Win32, X11, VESA, Linux's framebuffer -- or several others.

Which makes it interesting and worthy of study...

Note that I am sure there are probably a whole lot of other windowing systems out there that also support these, let's call them "back-end" (for lack of better terminology) pre-existing windowing systems.

In other words, a windowing system -- on top of another windowing system...

Sort of like running X on top of Win32, or Win32 on top X...

But the posibilities of higher level and lower level windowing system are really unlimited -- mix and match, basically...

In conclusion -- excellent link!

I worked on this [1] Linux tablet 20 years ago, and we had working versions, but it doesn't really count as they weren't put into mass production. I don't know how many were built in the end (I left to co-found a webmail service). Sometimes it's depressing how long it takes for something to actually come to fruition. The screenshots in [1] are our custom UI based on NanoX [2], and an Opera port for the web browser screenshot (it worked). I wanted a production version for years after I left...
