Hi all, I’ve been thinking about setting things up so I can play Steam games on my TV but I’m a little confused on the setup. So here’s what I was planning:
- main laptop in office will stream the game
- TV in living room connected to Nvida shield
- Nvidia shield runs Steam Link to connect to laptop
- Controllers connect to Nvidia shield??
I think the main thing that confuses me is if I can connect my controllers to the Nvidia shield or do they need to connect to the laptop?
Anyone have a similar setup that works?
Yes exactly, its a open source server for the moonlight client. It’s less polished then the nvidia drivers, but nvidia announced the end of their support for the protocol, so its only a matter of time until the nvidia driver server is removed from the drivers. Then you either can’t upgrade your drivers, or use moonlight.
So the open source sunshine is the future for the host side. Plus it works on multiple platforms and supports AMD
I’m gonna get it and try it out on my setup. Thanks!
