Today Ive asked the developers of R-Play, if they are interested by porting the App to the Nintendo Switch. My second question was, if they could share some of the source code so other developers can have a look at it.

I know it is very gullible of me to think that someone simply shares his hard work. Nevertheless, I've always said to myself: If you do not ask, you'll never know. So lets see what they will respond. Of course I will keep you up to date!

UPDATE:
That went faster than expected.
We cannot consider doing any apps that rely on jailbreak for legal reasons.

Regards,
R-Play Support


UPDATE 2:
Well I've tried Remote Play on all those devices, with probably 3 different ISP's over the years, all with different routers and it's been terrible every time. No matter what the settings. Yet Xbox streaming works flawlessly. So why would the Xbox streaming work and the remote play not. Remote Play is comparatively shit when compared to Xbox streaming.


As you can see on this video, Remote Play has dramatically improved over the time!
There are no stutters at all and the resolution is set to 1080p with 60FPS.
Max LTE speed on my carrier: 21,6 MBit/s.


OFF-TOPIC:
As you all know all homebrews are written by talented users out there, who spent their time and love to create great things we all can enjoy. I was right now thinking, if there would be a way to have a payed AppStore for those homebrews. It would no one hurt to pay a few dollars to use someones great work, right? Something like Cydia on iOS devices would be awesome for the Switch.

This would certainly be nice to have. There was a guy on xda who reverse engineered the protocol and wrote his own Windows client (as well as extensively customising the official Android app), but he stopped working on Remote Play stuff quite a while ago, so it wouldn't be up to date with the latest protocol. I don't know if anyone else has got as deep into it more recently.

I read from some reply in xda, saying there is too much work to keep updating the android app (I was very happy using the app before), there is still way to get the remote play app working on android device but it require you to root your android device.

I really enjoy the r-play app at the moment, but the only cons is that iOS only support MFi controller and most of those controller is not very good compare to ps4 and xbox controller.

Today PS4source is celebrating its 5 year anniversary and therefore we want to spent 200€ to the one who is able to code a Remote Play App for Nintendo Switch. If you think thats something for you, please register on our homepage and start writing about your progress HERE!
PS: Even so its a german website, you can surely write in english!

By releasing the homebrew on PS4source we will immediately transfer the 200€ to your PayPal account.
