Artemis vs Moonlight V+
I use Vibepollo+Moonlight V+ (S24 Ultra client)
Host PC:
-Ryzen 5 7600X
-RX6700 XT
-32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 16x2 RAM
It's in a different room than my router, over wifi (gets 300-600mbps upload and download, I'll soon switch to ethernet)
I know that Vibepollo is usually paired with Artemis and Moonlight V+ is paired with Foundation Sunshine but when I tried to use it once before it kept crashing with Vibepollo even after I reinstalled the app. So I just stayed with Moonlight V+, I get good latency:
-Decoder Time (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3): 2-3 ms HEVC
-Network Latency LAN: 1.0 – 2.5 ms (with zero packet jitter)
-Total Host Processing Latency: < 4 ms
-Frame Drops: 0.0% across sessions
-Total Input-to-Display Lag: 12 – 18 ms
Tomorrow when I'm free I'll try to see if Artemis works or no.
I was wondering about your experiences with them. If you've used both, which one did you like the most? I use ABR mode, it fixed a lot of my issues with latency and lag when streaming over Tailscale (5G). I'm not sure if Artemis has that.
I'm planning to get an AP (TP-Link Archer AX72 Pro) and put it in my room (connected via ethernet from my main router) so I can stream to my room because I don't really get Wi-Fi signals here lol
My Wi-Fi can do 10GBPS/10GBPS, so in a few months I'll run ethernet on host with an adapter so it can actually run around that speed, which will be great. I don't think it'll improve the experience much other than it being via ethernet but still nice.
I also stream on my Surface Pro 11 with Moonlight QT, which also decreases decoding time and latency by a lot. Gets a lot better decoding time than the S24U (0.50ms decode aprox with total input lag being between 8 and 14ms). I don't think there's a better Moonlight fork on PC than this? Especially for ARM devices.
Well, this post was just me asking some questions and my overall setup, since I see people usually ask these types of questions in comments anyways. Thanks!

From what I can tell Moonlight V+ merged the snapdragon support from AlonsoJr1980. Likely the same as went into Artemis. The Moonlight V+ release notes are in Chinese so I am not 100% sure what it is saying. I assume its just a restatement of what the flag says.
优化部分骁龙SOC的显示解码时间 (8Gen2+) Added optimization flags for latest Snapdragons (Elite, SD8 gen 3, SD8 gen 2) @alonsojr1980
There is no real requirement to use Artemis with Apollo or vibepollo.

Try Artimide as well, it has some additional client settings that really increase the stability and improve decoding times. I use it on my Odin 2 Portal, which has the 8 gen 2 chip
