  • H.264 + HDR?
    1 project | /r/MoonlightStreaming | 20 Feb 2023
    Can't seem to get HDR to work from a Shield TV if HEVC (H265) is turned off. HDR works with HEVC, but at the cost of poorer performance and FPS dips during gameplay. I'm using the Mass Effect Andromeda trick (https://github.com/lyckantropen/moonlight_hdr_launcher) and I can only really say I noticed this issue recently. Anyone else experiencing this - or is everyone who got HDR to work stuck with HEVC?

  • Simplest and best way to gamestream all games inc. Xbox game pass
    1 project | /r/ShieldAndroidTV | 27 Jul 2022
    I installed the Moolight HDR launcher on the remote PC (https://github.com/lyckantropen/moonlight_hdr_launcher), and use Moonlight on my Shield. This way, I have an icon « Mass Effect Andromeda » which starts the streaming without loading any game. From there, I just use a mouse to start my games from the Xbox app.

  • My quest for the perfect local streaming setup is over
    3 projects | /r/cloudygamer | 27 Mar 2022
    I'm using moonlight_hdr_launcher with gamestream launchpad which I have set to launch steam big picture mode so that I don't need to fake Andromeda for every game. I add all of my games to Big Picture Mode because I like to use as my steam controller and to use steam link on my phone on occasion. This lets me play any game on my computer at 1440p,120Hz, HDR.
  • Can't gamestream in HDR anymore, using moonlight HDR launcher
    1 project | /r/ShieldAndroidTV | 31 Jan 2022

  • Thinking of getting a 2019 Pro for 4k HDR Moonlight, few questions

  • Cant make gamestream work with edid emulator
    1 project | /r/ShieldAndroidTV | 23 Dec 2021
    I just got the same one and it works for me using this launcher https://github.com/lyckantropen/moonlight_hdr_launcher. Took a bit of tinkering. I struggled to get it working because the EDID was not display 1 in windows so it would always stream my other monitor regardless of what was set as primary. My gpu always makes the displayport connections montior 1, if you can rearrange yours to make your EDID first that might fix it. If you can't do that it's a bit more annoying, can try to follow this guide which worked for me https://lighthouse.thecloudiest.com/2020/12/20/fix-nvidia-shield-moonlight-selecting-the-wrong-monitor/. This thread is also helpful, https://www.reddit.com/r/cloudygamer/comments/ma3zsr/moonlight_finally_solved_the_problem_with_windows. But I used something called multimonitor tool instead of the one listed in that guide. You may have a different issue though cause if it doesn't work when it's the only monitor then something else might be wrong, good luck!
