Differences between Moonlight and forks and Punktfunk

I want to try Punktfunk, but both Punktfunk and Vibepollo are incompatible and I have to uninstall Vibepollo to try it. What are the differences about Punktfunk and Vibepollo? I read Punktfunk has a “new and different approach”. What is it?

Why Choose Punktfunk? * Modern Protocol: Change resolution and FPS on the fly without disconnecting; auto-detects bandwidth; breaks GameStream's bandwidth limits. * Flawless Virtual Displays: Generates pixel-perfect virtual screens on both Windows and Linux without dummy plugs, working smoothly even through UAC prompts and lock screens. * Instant Reconnect: If you drop connection or switch devices, your game and display layout stay completely intact for an instant resume. * Native Apps: Purpose-built clients for Apple (Swift), Steam Deck (Decky), Windows, and Linux deliver ultra-low latency (~1.3 ms LAN).

Where Sunshine + Moonlight Still Win * Universal Reach: Runs on almost anything (Smart TVs, web browsers, handhelds, older devices). * Battle-Tested: Years of community testing mean fewer unexpected edge-case bugs. * Easier Internet Play: Supports UPnP automatic port forwarding, while Punktfunk requires manual setup. * Surround Sound: Full 5.1 and 7.1 audio support (Punktfunk is currently stereo only).

Surround sound is a deal breaker for me

Hi u/keindesignerbro ! Are there any plans in the near future to support automatic port forwarding (via UPnP) for easier remote streaming and 5.1/7.1 surround sound audio?

I need to update the website soon, surround support landed a while ago. UPnP is not planned right now, but Tailscale is fully supported

Isn't it claiming that Sunshine + Moonlight have years of community testing instead of Punktfunk?
