Streaming App for non NVIDIA PC's for PSVita [$25]

[CundC]

As the Title say it, it would accomplish to stream your Steam Machine on your vita, like the moonlight app but for non NVIDIA PC's

---

There is a $25 open bounty on this issue. Add to the bounty at Bountysource.

Is the original Steam Link app opensource? I know there's a Steam Link SDK but that's for building native apps for the Steam Link itself.

How would this be different to just using moonlight to open steam?

[CundC]

Its different for AMD User.

[Rinnegatamante]

The bounty is invalid btw since Steam Link is indeed unportable (closed source). You should change the bounty target to something else i guess (something more generic like a streaming app for non NVIDIA users for example, even if PC Link exists ( http://vitadb.rinnegatamante.it/#/info/358 ) for this so i don't really think the bounty makes sense).

I think this bounty no longer makes sense, as both Sunshine (Win/Linux) and Open Stream that is based on it work really well. There is even work in progress for supporting AMD encoder.
All you do after installing one of them is to connect to it from your Vita running Moonlight, a very mature app.

I wouldn't really call either of them ready for prime time tbh.
Hell, one of them doesn't even have an actual lead developer anymore.

[JacekJagosz]

That is a great point, but to me Sunshine is reliable and I get higher video quality than I did with Nvidia's solution. So I think we don't need another Vita app, because Moonlight has all we need already, just the server could do with more development.
And from an end user I have exactly what I wanted already, I can reliably stream to my Vita from a PC no matter what GPU, and even from Linux. Just after you spend some time configuring it.

[mirh]

I must admit that I didn't really try either.. I was just guesstimating maturity by judging the activity on the issue trackers.
And it turns out now they were left in a state where they are at least more working than not.

Still, as you can see by loki-47-6F-64/sunshine#62 the stalemate is real (when ever is that going to be merged after a year of abandon?).

Parsec has an arm executable on raspbian (that runs in a pi2 for what i've tested, but it adds a lot of input lag), but i don't think the source code is available for it.
There's an sdk (https://github.com/parsec-cloud/parsec-sdk), but i don't think that can do much
Here's a question, proly been asked already, but with the android wrapper games, could the same be done with parsec/steam link apps?

[JacekJagosz]

Why Parsec when we have Moonlight that works so well? And Sunshine as a host app got so much better too in recent months! I even saw people that used Parsec simply move to Moonlight+Sunshine

[banzai200]

Imo, i see 2 advantages
Parsec has support to multiple people in one server, and can be used more easily outside of local network, kinda how the ps4 server does it

[mirh]

Multiple clients are supported since v0.2.0 (even though improvements could still be made I guess).
As for easier on-the-go.. you talking about NAT/port matters, or what else? It's not as ideal as if you had some external "professional grade server and WAN", but still.

It's far better to work on that, than on hacky wrappers for a something that you still wouldn't eventually have full control off anyway.
