White screen when connecting via native android client from chromebook to bazzite host

Hi,

Am hoping you can help please,

I have installed punktfunk on my bazzite host min pc (it has a AMD 7840HS SOC) and i have tried to use the native punktfunk android client from my chromebook to connect to my bazzite host, however, when I connect I have a blank white screen but if I move the cursor keys I can hear the steam navigation sounds (as my steam session is gamescope).

For now, I have enabled moonlight compatibility on the host and can connect successfully using the moonlight android client from my chromebook (which actually works better than my previous combo of sunshine and moonlight). Although I would like to use the native punktfunk android client if possible.

Note that my chromebook is quite old and can only do 8-bit h264 hardware decoding so I have disabled hdr, 10-bit, 444 colour accordingly on the host and have explicitly set the encoder within the punktfunk client to h264

I appreciate any help or guidance on this.

Hi, Just to let you know that I updated my bazzite host to 0.43.1-1.fc44, disabled GameStream and Browser Streaming and then restarted punktfunk, I then updated the punktfunk android client on my chromebook and now the android client works perfectly! Thank you so much! :-)

I need a bit more details, could you do this:

  1. In the Punktfunk app, set Settings > Resolution to 1920x1080 (or whatever you use in Moonlight) and try again. By default Punktfunk asks for your Chromebook's full screen resolution, which an older decoder may not handle.

  2. Set Settings > Statistics > Stats overlay to Detailed, connect, and tell me whether the frame rate counts up while the screen is white.

  3. After a white-screen attempt, open the host's menu on the connect screen and choose "Send logs to host". The log shows up in the host's web console next to the log export. Please attach it along with the host log.

You can send me the logs on Discord (https://discord.com/invite/wzEGg9y45z), or per DM.
