MoonlightWeb v0.1.0 — first public release

MoonlightWeb streams your Sunshine gaming PC to any device with a browser — phone, tablet, laptop or TV. Free and open source. You install one app on the gaming PC only; every other device just opens a URL. Nothing to install on the client.

Highlights

  • Zero-install client — the client is the browser. Open the server URL on any phone, tablet, computer or TV and start playing.
  • Low-latency WebRTC streaming — video, audio and input travel over WebRTC (DataChannels + native media tracks) with an automatic transport fallback chain, so it works across LAN, NAT and restrictive networks.
  • Modern codecs — H.264, HEVC and AV1, with real HDR passthrough and optional YUV 4:4:4 chroma for crisp text and desktop use.
  • WebGPU Video Enhancement — in-browser upscaling and sharpening (SGSR + FSR-style Video Super Resolution) makes a lower-bitrate stream look noticeably sharper.
  • One-click Internet access — turn on a secure public URL with automatic DNS and a real TLS certificate (ZeroSSL/ACME), or stay strictly LAN-only. UPnP NAT traversal with STUN fallback gets you connected without manual port forwarding.
  • Full input support — keyboard, mouse (with a gaming pointer-lock mode), Xbox/PlayStation gamepads with rumble, touch trackpad gestures on mobile, and an on-screen virtual keyboard.
  • Automatic host discovery & pairing — Sunshine hosts on your network are found automatically; pairing is guided and fully asynchronous.
  • Fullscreen, HiDPI, live stats — proper fullscreen on desktop and mobile, HiDPI rendering, and an on-stream stats overlay (bitrate, FPS, RTT).
  • Guided setup wizards on every platform, plus an admin page to manage Internet access, streaming defaults (resolution / frame rate / bitrate / codec) and Sunshine.
  • Privacy-first Internet opt-in — Internet access is off by default and requires explicit consent, which is recorded for traceability; a host-key mechanism lets the machine you installed on reach its own admin over the public domain safely.
  • English & French interface.
