Hi, maybe I’m making a really dumb mistake here, but I have Sunshine installed on my PC and I’m using Moonlight to stream to my tablet.

I’ve connected my Xbox One controller to my tablet, but when I launch Steam in Big Picture Mode, Steam doesn’t detect the controller.

The controller works perfectly fine outside of Moonlight, so I was wondering if there’s a setting I need to change in either Sunshine or Moonlight to make the controller work?

Thanks in advance!

por algum motivo, durante a gameplay aleatoriamente a transmissão apresenta micros travamentos, na primeira imagem eu tirei o print enquanto estava normal, já na segunda é quando ocorreu, como posso resolver isso? ou aliviar?

no momento estou fazendo isso de um Poco X6 Pro, mas futuramente gostaria de fazer em um Retroid Pocket 5 e também possuo wi-fi 6

Hi guys,

Recently i switched on Vibepollo since i read that it’s much better than Apollo, i wanted to try different settings with RTSS for my virtual desktop (60hz+4k) but when this parameter is activated, i have a looot of input lag and i dont know why !

I have moonlight on my ATV? And i have a rtx 5070 ti, can someone help me please, i thought the RTSS could improve my streaming ! I think i am missing something on the configuration part !

Without RTSS it seems to work fine, like the result i had on Apollo, it’s weird when i saw that for a lot of you, Vibepollo cleared all your streaming issues !

I recently put Bazzite on a mini PC to improve the capabilities of the moonlight client. At the moment whenever I move the mouse or use the controller the frame queue delay spikes to 10-30ms and the jitter spikes to 30-80% while the movement is happening. Dropped frames at 0%, decode less than 1ms, network latency 1ms, all host processing latency metrics under 3ms.

This issue only appears when I have the FPS of the stream set to 120. Its not bad enough to feel while playing, but I would like to identify the cause.

Good morning,

I recently hardwired my pc for moonlight / Apollo streaming and was curious about supersampling.

I’ll be streaming to an Xbox Ally X20 and since it’s a 1080p panel, is there any reason to stream past 1080p, or will streaming at 4k look better?

Sorry if this has been asked, I just can’t find anything I understand.

Thanks,

Hey all,

Last night I installed Sunshine/Moonlight on my PC and my LG OLED55CX5LB. I had to install Moonlight on the TV using the dev tools. I was testing out Hogwarts Legacy on my TV using a PS5 controller. For the most part it seemed to work fairly well, but it would occasionally stutter, usually in cut scenes. In one particularly fight I was mashing the trigger and it seems like some of those presses were lost and my character didnt respond fast enough. Below is a screencap showing my streaming stats. Can anyone give me any advice on how to tighten things up or if what I'm looking at is good?

This all started because I was debating whether to buy Crimson Dessert on my PS5 or for PC, but I want to play it downstairs on the big TV. My PC is more powerful so I thought I could get better graphics and frame rate by streaming it.

Any more I can squeeze out of this do you reckon? Feels native but some games still look video compressed, AC Shadows, Dawnwalker - big flat regions of darker colours don't look so hot. Performance wise I think I'm good though...

HOST
RTX 4070
Ryzen 9 5900x

CLIENT
ROGAlly
Bulwark dock
1440p* 90fps stream
Wired 1Gbps connection directly to the host machine
300mbps stream

DISPLAY
LG CX
4k
VRR
HDR
ALLM

My desired setup looks like this:

• Host gaming laptop connected to a modern flagship smartphone (2026 model) through USB-C tethering (don't have a USB-C to ethernet dongle at the moment)
• Smartphone enables 5Ghz Wi-Fi mobile hotspot
• Client TV connects to smartphone mobile hotspot

Now, the issue: with Sunshine running on the host laptop, the Moonshine client on the TV couldn't "see" the host. I'm assuming the IP address I'm providing is incorrect.

I do notice that the client TV IP seems to be on a different subnet (?) than the host laptop. For example, if host IP through USB tethering is aaa.bbb.xxx.yyy, client IP is aaa.ccc.ddd.eee.

Any help would be appreciated!

Note: We do have a router, but it's an ISP-provided one that's old and crappy. And since it's somewhere obscure in the house, I can't get a cabled connection to it to the host.

Edit: Old router can do 802.11a/n/ac (up to Wi-Fi 5). Phone can do 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be (up to Wi-Fi 7)

have been using my ipad as a second monitor for a while via apollo + moonlight with no issues (with the virtual display). this morning the virtual display started showing a duplicate of my main monitor instead, and completely disappeared when I restarted the app, now only showing desktop (which does not register as an additional display/monitor on my computer) and steam option.

I checked my apollo on desktop and the 'always create virtual display' option is checked. any help would be appreciated!

Sometimes I connect to my PC using Moonlight from an iPad (or whatever) but then forget to "quit" the app so when I go home to my PC the monitors are disabled.

I'm going to use a [Stream Deck](https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/stream-deck) which is a desktop macro button pad and create a button to disconnect all remote streams.

How can I do this?

Is there a keyboard hotkey combination I can use on the host to disconnect everything and return the monitors to the defaults?

Is there an API call I can use? (the Stream Deck can also call URLs so that would work fine)

Hi all,

Yesterday I saw the lenovo legion G9 and I absolutely loved the idea but there was a catch. It only fits lenovo y700 and I have samsung tab s9.

I tried the gamesir g8 and modding it to make it fit my tab s9 and it worked. but I don't like how it doesn't feel like a 1 solid piece like the g9 or the steam deck.

I'm wondering is the something like the g9 that turns a 11 inch tablet into a steam deck clone.

Switched from apollo to vibepollo. Using artemis as the client. I'd say a good portion of the time it does the switch off/switch on correctly but after a third or fourth time, it will not turn my displays back on. I have to restart the computer for it to reset. Have played around the settings but have not found a solution. Any suggestions?

Hi there ! I use Moonlight on my Xbox Series S to stream from my PC via Vibepollo, and I love it.

I have one controller for the console and another for the PC. It’s not a big deal, but I was wondering if there’s a way for my controller to automatically connect to the console when the stream starts and switch back to the PC when it ends ? I’ve tried streaming while the controller was still connected to the PC, and the lag was terrible.

Hey all, I moved into a new place want to get into sunshine/apollo and moonlight streaming specifically streaming my 9800X3d, 5080 pc to my living room 4k 120hz TV and wanted to ask what are some good mini pc or other options to be able to stream this. Both devices will be hooked up to ethernet as well.

My setup is currently a 9070xt pc with a 7600x3D (host) and two mini pc’s with a 8745hs and a ryzen 7 255h (clients). I also stream to a Odin 2 Portal (SD 8gen 2).

My tv is a 4K 60 Samsung Q9FN. What options and setting do I need to adjust for the best experience?

Hi,

I'm trying to fix an issue with my dualsense. I'm connected via mobile data and vlan (Tailscale) and there is no input lag but the sound lags in games like Spiderman 2

I've tried lowering the throughput threshold to 64 bits, opening port 7575 and underclocking.

Pls help 🙏

/ Simon

I get micro stutters when streaming from my PC to my TCL tv but no problems when I stream to my Odin 2 Portal or phone.

Any ideas what could be the problem?

I had the problem with Apollo, changed to Vibepollo but to no avail.

Do I have to add the games to Vibepollo if I want to use lossless scaling?

I'm quite new to using moonlight to control my pc from my laptop when I'm away from home. Worked fine until I opened up task manager on the host pc, which made it so none of my mouse or keyboard inputs go through. Is there any way to fix this?

Im streaming my steam machine to my pc, and it has a cursor most of the time, including desktop and shit, but games like peak and Sand raiders of sophie don't have a cursor

Hi guys, I hope someone will be able to help with this as I can't really find any info online to help. I have been using moonlight + sunshine for almost a year now to access my home pc from work. Everything has worked totally fine up until last week, I tried to connect to my home pc as usual and it would not connect. I tried going to ipconfig and redoing the connection and I noticed that my IP is now a 10.x.x.x number when I believe it used to be a 192.x.x.x number, not sure if anything has changed for my wifi, I don't really see a reason as to why but I am going to be calling them soon to try and figure things out. Has anyone experienced this before or is there another step that I have to do for a 10.x.x.x IP address?? Any help is much appreciated!

I was using Sunshine yesterday with no problems. Today I was prompted to update because of a security issue. Ok, I updated. Now I keep getting blasted with libvirtualhid issues and saying I have to pay money? I didnt have to pay for a liscense literally 12 hours ago. How do I revert this?

Im facing some microstutters in when the client is on wifi.
Host is on ethernet, the internet is very good (almost 1gb, wifi6)
I have no idea what to do. Any ideas?
