v0.1.0 — Initial Release

First public release of moonlight-python, a Python client for Moonlight/Sunshine game streaming that delivers decoded video frames as numpy arrays.

Features

  • Server discovery — automatic mDNS discovery or direct IP connection
  • Cryptographic pairing — PIN-based pairing compatible with Sunshine and NVIDIA GameStream
  • Frame streaming — receive decoded H.264/HEVC/AV1 frames as numpy arrays via a simple generator API
  • Latest frame buffer — thread-safe drop-oldest buffer for CV pipelines that process slower than the stream rate
  • Recording — save to video files (MP4) or image sequences (PNG/JPEG)
  • Codec support — H.264, HEVC, and AV1

Installation

pip install moonlight-python

Pre-built manylinux wheels are available for Python 3.10–3.13 on x86_64 Linux. No compiler or system dependencies required.

Built on

  • moonlight-common-c — core streaming protocol via CFFI
  • PyAV (FFmpeg) — hardware-accelerated video decoding
