So 10 for most 3D first person games? That includes action games etc as well as shooters?

yeah if it's lower than that, because of all the motion the quality starts degrading. But lower it if you need to.

Wow, ok now at 5 Mbps it goes way better! ahahahah Thanks!

Np! I should really make that slider more user friendly instead of all that techy mumbo jumbo

Despite yet another (fast!) update, I continue to get choppy performance put of this. The newly added Nvidia encoding option worsened input lag, too.

You should add an option to clamp the FPS to 60 as it was going over that from the streamer.
I've also seen that the switch Tegra chip supports native "GPU" H265 encoding, is that implemented or is it CPU now?

You’re a legend. Keep up the great work.

Finally its working perfectly! 720p@60fps! I just had to lower the Mbps to 10 but I tried that on the older version and that didn't work but now its perfect. Thanks @DevL0rd !

Homebrew doesn't have access to hardware video encoding/decoding with the gpu yet, so it's done on the cpu.

After trying the new version of skynx on the pc, when i click start stream the screen goes black then back to normal and the stream ends. nothing is being streamed to my switch now.

Code:

If i install the controller can i use it with switch?
Cause some dude said it will stip working on the switch...

Risingdawn · Apr 27, 2020

Looking good!

Getting distorted audio though in handheld, Nvidia encoding is too much latency vs CPU, struggling to match FPS to my laptop.

Apart from this though it's pretty good, and nice to have an option that isn't android so good job.

Hopefully when will be available, the lag would be completely unnoticeable on a LAN. Though if someone managed to build the app with the official Nintendo SDK, they'd have access to GPU encoding right?
We have to beat Nintendo on this. It's so annoying that they don't want streaming from PC to happen. Parsec contacted them and said if they could make a switch official version of their application and Nintendo said no. They'd lose game sales but it would become such an amazing console...

You need to download the latest app. Grab it from the hb appstore or from the github and update the nro on your switch

This is the encoder automatically determinig the capture rate. It evens out after a few seconds.

It kinda did didn't it. I'm working on fixing it and another user on github is playing around with it, so hopefully we can get the Nvenc encoder running better.

The first version was better for me...now i have audio lag and its always disconnecting...

There are no differences in how this version does anything compared to the old.
Optionally you can enable Nvidia encoding, but CPU encoding is the same as before.

All connected controllers will work

Legend Of Kay · Apr 27, 2020

I found the new version didn’t work properly the first time I opened it but then for some reason the second it did. Who knows why but that happened.

Nikoru · Apr 27, 2020

I encountered a new bug when entering full screen on Citra or PCSX2 it freezes on the last frame before you enter fullscreen mode on the switch side but plays normally on PC side but when you move the mouse its also moving on the screen over the frozen frame and when you exit fullscreen it plays normally
I didnt have this issue on the old version

alucard77 · Apr 27, 2020

First off, thanks for the hard work you put into this. Don't be discouraged by the naysayers. It's guys like you that make the scene so amazing!

Now for my question.

Nvidia:
Does this work with the GT 1030? I updated drivers and it is looking for 9.1 for a specific driver, but I only have 9.0. From what I can tell, I can't get anything for 9.1 with the 1030.

Audio:
[Edit: FIXED] Found out that you need to run MS Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable to get this running
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

When I try to install the audio driver, I get an "C:\-=Switch=-\SkyNXStreamer-win32-ia32\resources\app\NxStrenamingService\lib\audio_sniffer.dll" failed to load

Joycons:
[Edit: FIXED] Okay, so for people with this Joycon issue. Try changing your directory. I had mine in C:\-=Switch=-\ and that did not allow me to install the drivers. I moved it to the C:\ and it let me install it.

How can I get my Joycons to work while playing something. I got it to stream, I even have the analog with the ZR and ZL to work. However, I can't get he right analog stick to work at all, besides the ones mentioned here,none of the other buttons or clicks on the controller register at all.

When I go to settings, install controller, I get a message that says, this required a restart. I do the restart, but I don't see any drivers install before the restart. It just restarts and that's it.

When I go to the console, it reads:
Could not plug in virtual controller. Make sure the driver is installed.
Could not plug in virtual controller. Make sure the driver is installed.

Is it possible to run sky nx streamer on Mac os?

mIRAIkILLER · Apr 27, 2020

does it work via the internet or only Lan , ive tried over at work and it got stuck in waiting for conection

Eternam · Apr 27, 2020

Amazing work. I hadn't had a streaming app work so well in my switch. Keep up the amazing work.
I just have one problem. When the switch enters sleep mode with the app open (not streaming) I can't wake it up afterwards. I mean. It isn't sleep, just a black screen I can't get out of unless I power off.
