I seem to have HEVC encoding back with this update.

Any examples of device that will use AV1? I have an nvidia shield, steam deck OLED and Steam Link hardware, seems none of them support/use it

AV1 Codec for follow vr headsets Quest3/3S and Pico 4 Ultra

I'm getting a black screen when enabling AV1 on Fire TV Cube (3rd Gen). I haven't played with it much yet but 3G Cube spec is hardware accelerated AV1 up to 2160p (4K) @ 60fps Main Profile 10bit Level 5.1.

I'm picking one up and I'll check it out. Thanks for the report!

Can you post a link to Steam logs\streaming_log.txt from your PC, so we can see if there's any useful message there?

Thank you. I made sure to clear the log before connecting so this should be clean. Black screen appeared and then I went to the PC and stopped streaming which is when I got this log. If it matters, I'm streaming from a 240Hz 1440P monitor connected to the PC via HDMI (for no DSC over HDMI 2.1) to a 1080P 60Hz TV.

There's nothing useful there from the client, unfortunately. I'll reach out to you via e-mail to see if we can get the device logs.

Hm..is this for Quest version of Steam Link too?

I wish they could make it so you could play games from phone, but I guess that's the steam deck

Couple issues to report with 1.3.12 on a FireTV Cube G3.

-Xbox Series X gamepads are detected as Xbox One in the Steam UI, but correctly as Series X in the Android loading screen. Perhaps preexisting but I just noticed it.

-DualSense mappings in games were fine I in 1.3.9, but messed up in 1.3.12. Menu mappings outside of games seem correct in 1.3.12, but were incorrect in 1.3.9. In 1.3.12 this is so bad that the triggers cause the thumbstick to act as if they're pushed to the top-right. It can be fixed by opening the Steam menu (with the broken mappings that is pushing down on the left thumbstick).

-General latency issues with DualSense on 1.3.9 and potentially with 1.3.12 as well, it's hard to tell. I believe this may have been fixed in 1.3.12.

I mentioned AV1 support being broken in the other thread.

Hello, I just took it but I have an error message :
it seems it cannot find :
- SDL_AtomicGet on Steam Link\SDL3_mixer.dll
- SDL_RWread on Steam Link\SDL3_tff.dll
- IMG_Load_IO n Steam Link\SteamLink.exe

[R.D.R.B.]

I still can't reproduce 5.1 audio from the Homatics Box R 4K Plus and the Google TV Streamer.

It doesn't seem to have HDR on Nvidia Shield 2017, anyone can confirm HDR not working on Shield?

This destroyed Dualsense (PS5 controller) key mappings!! Please fix this regression ASAP!
