I ran Ethernet cables throughout my house and got disappointed for streaming

16 Upvotes

Hey guys, I just finished wiring up the rooms in my house so I could stream games to my living room, and it was great... for a little while.

I was playing over 5GHz Wi-Fi and things were OK, but I decided to switch to a wired connection. The difference was HUGE in terms of image quality, but I feel like something is causing occasional lag spikes. My network latency stays at around 1ms, but every now and then it suddenly spikes and the image becomes extremely blurry for about 30 seconds.

Here's my FULL SETUP:

  • Modem in bridge mode > Redmi AX5400 router > TP-Link LS1005G switch
  • Vibepollo on my wired PC (Ryzen 7 5700X3D, 32GB RAM, RTX 4070 Super)
  • Moonlight QT on Steam Deck, connected via a wired Baseus dock

TL;DR: Most of the time, network latency is around 1ms. Every few minutes, it spikes to 20, 30, or even 50ms, the image gets blurry, and everything starts stuttering for about 20–30 seconds. Then it goes back to normal.

Has anyone experienced anything similar or have any idea what could be causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone upgraded Vibepollo from 1.18.4stable 4 to 2.0.1 and if so, how have you found it?

I first tried 2.0.0 but ran into problems with virtual display settings not being remembered between sessions or said sessions not opening correctly. After reading various posts on this sub, I rolled back to 1.18.4stable 4 and that's been perfect.

Has anyone who did the same thing made now the jump to the new 2.0.1? I'm hoping that's fixed the issues in 2.0.0.

Has there been any fix for using Moonlight with Apple TV?

4 Upvotes

I tried a while back on my 2 different Apple TV/TV setups. Xbox controller connected to both. Both times unplayable due to input lag.

I know when I was looking into this a year or two ago this was a known issue. But has there been any updates? It seems nothing has moved or changed, is that correct? Is it Moonlight side? TvOS side? Searching around still see the same claims of “it’s busted” and “it works perfectly!” which is similar to what I was seeing last time. But guessing no change?

Sudden issue with steam input stop working after putting client device on standby

1 Upvotes

Hi all

A bit of strange issue today while I was playing my non steam game streaming it on my Legion Go s from my host pc.

I simply pressed the standby button to do something and when reconnected the controller inputs stopped working. Other non steam games or not work fine but this specific game suddenly refuses to recognise the controller and thinks I am using keyboard.

Seems like the steam input binding onto the game has stopped working for this specific game and refuses to connect.

Any ideas what I can do?

Trying to find the optimal setup for my house

0 Upvotes

I dug my heels in about 4 months ago when I wanted to play my PC on my TV without moving it all the time. But I am quite mid at trouble shooting. I’ve been using Apollo with Moonlight on my LG TV. Usually it’s pretty steady if I’m playing something like Backyard Baseball. But I get a lot more stuttering if I play Baldurs Gate level games. Locally this isn’t an issue but my connection goes unstable on heavier games. Would appreciate some help on how I can improve this or reduce the issues. TIA
