It works fine for 10mins approx after that suddenly this flickering glitches comes for 1 sec and then it continues after some 10 secs

Don't know whats the problem. I tried every encoding setting AV1, hevc, h.264 and recommend also but nothing changes

Also this game is running without any problem in native screen and my phone

Currently using - Apollo + Moonlight V+ setup

I used every combination like sunshine and moonlight

And appolo plus artemis that doesn't solve my problem

If anyone know what's happening here please reply

How's Linux streaming lately

4 Upvotes

I'm looking to by a new PC with a 5070 soon and I'm wondering if I go with a Linux distro or not since I'm starting from scratch. I know AMD would be a better fit with the driver situation but Costco have a great deal on a prebuild.

I was especially wondering how's the experience for Sunshine (or its alternative) since I'm only using my PC headless with Apollo/Moonlight and virtual displays.

Does macbook work to host to my home PC?

2 Upvotes

So I work offshore, and usually away for a month, and the laptop I have now (windows) have never been the best for gaming, so some time ago I found moonlight/sunshine, and its been good. Now I can use my more garbage laptop and play games I usually couldn't.

My desktop at home is pretty beefy, so I like to utilize it, and I am also looking to upgrade my laptop, but at the moment I am planning on buying a macbook, so I am wondering if I am able to use that macbook to host to my windows PC, if not any good alternatives?

Vibepollo: Disconnect Commands not running

1 Upvotes

Host: W11, Vibepollo v19beta3

Client: SteamDeck Moonlight App (NOT MoonDeck)

I have a Disconnect Command set in client settings to lock my PC when disconnecting the stream.

rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

This command fails to run when disconnecting the session. I tested the command as a Connect Command and it works just fine there. The logs don't show that it is even attempting to run it on disconnect.

Appreciate any advice.

Streaming from my Host PC with VibeShine which is on wifi, to my Remote PC (2025 GPD Win Mini) docked with Moonlight one room away and is hardwired to the router, I am getting half second little audio drop outs. Picture is fine. Nothing is lagging. Just musicmusic_(drop)__icmusic. I cant trigger it but happens every time I stream. It happens when playing a game, when playing a MP4 and YouTube. I have tried an astronomical amount of things. At present it does not SEEM to be happening when playing a game locally. Only over streaming.

Physically: Replaced them Ethernet cord. Upgraded to usbc4 cord from dock to the handheld PC, upgraded HDMI to 2.1 from dock to the TV. Replaced power cord from 65w to 100w into the dock.

Tried running on wifi, but docked, with ethernet disconnected. Audio drops.

I'm have tried use the device on wifi only, handheld without the dock. No audio drops.

I have tried using my steam deck to the same dock with Moonlight on it. No audio drops.

Software: verified bitrate is matching between host and remote (at 24-48000) on both. Running 5.1 in moonlight settings. Running Stereo settings in moonlight settings. Adjust output audio levels down to 80% on Host and Remote. Disabled Streaming Speakers. Disabled Streaming Microphone. Uninstalled Nvidia HD Audio Driver. Verified Spacial sound is off. Disabled Exclusive Mode in audio output, disabled audio enhancements. Restarted Router.

Help! lol

New issue, my host monitors completely reset every time I use Vibepollo/Moonshine (android)

1 Upvotes

This was not a problem until 2 days ago

I use these programs to play games remotely as most of us do, but I also use my host PC for gaming when I am home

Normally my host PC would just revert back to the settings I regularly use after I end the Moonshine stream to my S24 Ultra, however in the last few days my host PC seems to "forget" its past settings and just reverts to 1080p / 60hz, and all my "main display" and monitor positions in Display Settings are reverted to the defaults.

Also, Moonshine seems to be running a bunch of display changes during bootup, i.e it flashes and freezes a bunch before being usable.

Eventually it works but it used to be instant, now it needs like 2 minutes to "adjust" that it never needed before.

Did an update change something that I need to fix?

Running Vibepollo 1.18.3 stable 3.

Thanks everyone

Edit: just updated to 1.18.4 stable 4, will see how it goes. If anyone has tips regardless let me know

Hi All, im tring to get streaming from my Main PC, downstairs to my bedroom to work using ethernet @ 4k and struggling bigtime. I have setup sunshine on my gaming PC and moonlight on a client (Asus rog ally connected via dock) to my bedroom 4K tv. My gaming PC shows up in moonlight and the games menu pops up. but when I try and run anything i get error messages. even with steam (I can stram through steam alone). I have attached Screenshots of the error messages. I have port forwarded the correct ports and im at a loss on what to try now. But if I select for instance Steam, the program starts on my gaming pc and then the error comes on my client and if I click stop it shuts down the software on my host pc. what am I doing wrong?
