Homebrew Question Best way to stream pc games to switch?

[Chrisssj2]

I found some methods as to streaming pc to switch:
-In-Home-Switching
-SKYNX
-Android LineageOS (moonlight/parsec)

Any opinions? Things important to me are delay, disconnects./crashes freezes. And to a point quality of the stream ofcourse.

Android/Linux has the best performance. In case of Android issue is that OS is still very unstable and analogs are detected as digital input. Idk about Linux.
SkyNX doesn't have issues with Analogs, but it's relying on CPU to decode video, so it's worse performance than Android.

Hmm Okay. When you say performance you mean, not input delay, not video quality but fps? One does 30 fps one does 60 fps or?
How does SkyNX fare against in home switching?

Better performance = less power consumption at the same quality and FPS. And because there is no support for nvdec in libnx, Android and Linux will have stable 60 FPS at 1080p at low battery cost in comparison to HOS, which will struggle with 720p 60 FPS and it will be always at high CPU usage.

I see. I don't care for battery consumption much as I mostly use it in handheld mode with the charger connected.
Hos=SKYNX?
And how much does 1080p matter to 720p anyway.. i mean the switch screen can't go higher then 720p soo would it matter or not I wonder?

There is a difference when using x264 because of fixed macroblock size. Higher resolution = less pixelated video in some hard situations like gradients or dynamic scenes when using GPU encoder.
X265 has non fixed macroblock size, so in this case there is not much difference between 720p and 1080p.

Okay. so image quality should be more or less similiar eventhough 1080p is better in some instances.
If the delay, and stabillity is all the same and good. Then I think im better off with the homebrew version for now.

Btw I just see the app can choose for CPU or nvidia encoding soo.?? or is that not the switch but the desktop

Desktop.

Desktop.

Ah okay. I just tried it and delay is insanely high... unplayable.. video skips alot eventhough fps 50/60 all the time, and played around with bit rates. and crackling audio at times.

Via wired connection.
