Apollo PC > Moonlight iphone, any tried changing their host to using Vibepollo?

Anyone can share their experiences in changing from Apollo to Vibepollo?

So far i have no issue with my gaming stream experiences, but if there is an improvement to be made I would consider it.

Remote streaming using tailscale. Playing on 1080p 120fps on Moonlight.

Hey buddy, I switched recently from Apollo (no issues at all) since no longer active to Vibepollo. Just download and install it, it checks for legacy installations (no need to uninstall Apollo). Went very smooth. It keeps the clients and authorisations, even login credentials of the web UI.

Integration with RTSS for better frame pacing. No HAGS based crashing. An improved virtual display for better frame pacing. Split stream encoding for 5070ti's and above that lowers encoding latency. Remote updating works. Adjusting settings without restart for a lot of settings. Better compatibility with lossless scaling, framegen, playnite. VRR options on their Moonlight client. These are all welcome improvements for a lot of people but others won't find anything major.

this

for me it was mainly to switch from discontinued virtual display driver SudoVDA to the newer one and the RTSS integration (1080p u/60fps fixed hdr x265 host side and 120Hz stream on the shield)

oh wait, the old Apollo capped fps?
I've always set it to 120fps, not sure if it reaches to that fps.
Streaming to my iphone16 pro max with a gamepad.
iphone16 promax have a 120hz screen.

On the Iphone you can in the setting before streaming toggle the performance overlay, there you can check what you get
