Pumped up for AV1 streaming to my FireTV Cubes. I'm surprised the latency is good enough to have support for it, considering how well optimized H264 is in that regard. HDR10 support is a big ticket item too. I still have 2 physical Steam Link boxes but my finally pack up and retire the last of them that I've been using at this point, the app has just gotten much better. And while my desktop is on ethernet, my TV clients are not. It's time to move on from the wifi5 in Steam Link for 6E connections in my FireTV Cubes. Thank you for this hard work! Best update in years.

The bug consist in the new beta, the app itself is very laggy, and cant start the stream, just get a black screen, if that can be fixed will be good, thanks (samsung galaxy a03)

Bug. I made myself sad by installing the latest build. I am running it on a Firestick TV 4k with a Dualsense. My issue was that the controller would not work correctly. Testing the Controller in the steam link App everything seemed fine but when I started the stream the Square button was assigned to X the X button to Circle the right trigger seems to be mapped to the right analog stick while the right analog stick does nothing.

I installed 1.3.9.258 again and the controls worked fine right away.
Wake me when the stable is out.

What happens if you go to the streaming settings and run the network test?

Hey,
I've tried HDR -> HDR streaming (with Enhanced 1080p and Enhanced 4K)
I can see only Green picture please see it here: https://imgur.com/a/r2346cw
I can hear the navigation sounds coming from host in the background as I press buttons on the controller, so issue is with picture only.

Host: Windows 11 with HDR enabled
Streaming devices tested:: Nvidia Shield Pro 2019, Google TV Streamer, Google CCWTV
TV: LG OLED C1 and LG OLED B4

Streaming from non HDR monitor it is ok but obviously no HDR.
Hope this info helps to improve the HDR streaming.

HDR content from other sources on the TV(+Streaming device) works correctly.

Update:
