Homebrew Question Possible video decoding Bounty?

[Deleted User]

How would one go about creating a Homebrew bounty?
I can't find any developments on Hardware Video Decoding Acceleration, and, as far as I understand, that's what libnx needs in order for somebody to port Moonlight, or other Game Streaming software.
I think quite a few people would be willing to donate some money for this cause.
I understand the official SDK has a library for that, but I'm fairly sure a project built on stolen code won't go too far.
Thanks in advance.

idk, but there are already some streaming apps for the switch, for playing games from the pc for example in it, with switch controllers etc

As far as I understand, they're using ffmpeg libraries for Software Decoding, so they're more of a proof of concept, prep work for a future hardware accelerator that would lower power usage of the SoC, and improve performance (I assume)

https://www.bountysource.com is the site that's been used for recent Retroarch bounties etc, you should be able to set one up there.

It seems BountySource requires to attach an issue in order to create a bounty - I'm not sure which project it's better to create an "issue" on. The Moonlight port project maintainer isn't responding for the time being, and I don't really know any other relevant codebases. Maybe libNX? But it doesn't seem appropriate

Would be a LibNX thing.

Have you found your solution ? I would like to contribute to the port project for moonlight.

You would definitly donate to see this,
we need hardware video decoding for the Switch !

Anything ever come of this? Any news on video decoding efforts?

I'd put money on this bounty. I'd really like Moonlight without dual-booting.
