Excellent, keep up the good work.
Just on the part of using the switch as a wiiu gamepad, the redirect links to reddit but it seems to be removed from there for some reason?

Could we get a copy/paste here?

Sure I'll make a new thread and link it.

Quick question, what happens if you dont set game resolution to 720p (dynamic super resolution on nVidia f.e. (so higher than desktop resolution)), but do set your desktop resolution to 720p?

Still more lag?

Well, for multimonitor support and for lowest latency I only read the that resolution of the top left of your screen from the video buffer to make it super low latency. At any othe resolution it would just cut off the rest of the screen. Though this may work differetly for single monitor setups. I have not tested it..

But yes. It definitely improves latency more than performance because there is no resizing filtering.

Just front paged the news here. All the best!

Wow that was fast. Thanks so much!

 

[jasonhk]

Any video demo?

 

[Prans]

Any video demo?

yeah would be helpful, could add to the original and front page posts as well

 

[DevL0rd]

Any video demo?

Not at the moment. I sent a message to a few YouTubers and got some replies. Hopefully I will by tommorrow.

Hope it's not too late by then for front page :/

How long does front page usually last? Do you think a video sometime tommorrow will be too late?

That's just In-Home-Switching 2 with a nice GUI and nothing special, still laggy and old features.

Depends on the news flow today and tomorrow. But the post will likely still be visible on the front page tomorrow. Just tag me in a message here or in a message when the video is available to share.

I'll let users debunk this one.

But if you want to check for yourself. Both the sources are on GitHub. And the releases section shows the change history.

The app was based on the original ihs, in fact if you look at the original IHS GitHub he passed the project to my fork, but the streamer is brand new, tho still based on ffmpeg and has alot more features, bug fixes, and improvements than IHS.

Touch support, Multi controllers, auto reconnect, the streaming is much better. And it runs as a service. Look at the version history and commits for more but it definitely isn't IHS.

Check out the source and compare, but also try it out. I hope experiencing it changes your mind

Awesome Job Sir..

Just a small issue.

When the app is launched on my switch the screen displays,

1.0.0.127 then another Ip flashes then back to
1.0.0.127 and hard locks the system, Cant close app. Can go to home menu.
Have to hard reset console so i can use it again.

Any ideas?

I experienced it already, the lag is real

Before coming in a room and pissing in the first bowl of cheerios you happen upon, how about actually giving a proper evaluation of the brew, and give credit where credit is due.

This frontend client operates significantly better, and with audio + control integrations sideloaded via drivers seamlessly. A common user wouldn't even realize there are separate elements at work just by using the client unless they actively go read through syntax in the console. In-Home-Switching indeed laid down some groundwork and provided a foundation for this fork to further enhance and functionally flourish, but the end result determined by 'user experience' is where the net value in all that actually lies...

So yeaah, given that I just played a good hour of Jedi fallen order with consistent 720p@60fps, and Audio that wasn't broken or plagued by synclag... I just can't spin this little piece of homebrew development as anything less than a victory for the switch scene. It likely will only get more polished as time goes on.

So despite what this Buzzkillington Slowbro may imply, I applaud your efforts and improvements on this project, after its been dead in the water for so long. Many Kudos bro, it's a utility I defiantly plan to utilize, now that it's more functionally complete, and less of a hassle to get running well.

Cheers!

Then you're doing it wrong. Either your bandwidth is filtered poorly, and the bitstream is being throttled by your firewall, or you're playing with too many obstructions between you and your router. because, I literally just played an hour at 60fps nearly the entire time. I never got anywhere close to that with In-Home-Switching, not to mention the audio bitstream was atrociously bad using the old method.
I doubt he is even done optimizing it, as is. But its easily already more than usable in it's present state.

You're wrong
My setup is perfect and I have one of the best internet in the entire world.

 

[DaniPoo]

You're wrong

But do you have a fast home network?

 

[LeviDL]

This is really awesome. I would love to see DSU client / motion controls implemented too. I love this!

 

[zniel0]

Your internet has absolutely nothing to do with local streaming.

Also this nothing like the old app where the sound and stream were broken.

You need to have 5ghz wifi local network, non shared.

Some games that use 98-100% of the cpu will not work since this uses the cpu not the nvidia/amd gpu.

If your switch is not connected to an online router this will happen I have the same problem, the app wont connect to a router with no internet. This has to do with the switch disabling the wifi.
