linux laptop client and windows 10 host remote play same lan

[Bigtrees]

last night i shut down my main windows 10 pc and hit update and shutdown. now today when i try to use remote play it is just a black screen for about 10 seconds then says it couldnt connect. So i started steam in the terminal so i can see what its doing... and its trying to connect to 0.0.0.0

sometimes it will work. when it does, it will attempt to the correct IP. this just seems random. i tried rimworld and it worked. then i ended the game and tried again and it was back trying to connect to 0.0.0.0

both steam clients are in the beta build. everything worked flawlessly til i installed windows updates last night.

i just brought both clients back out of beta and in to regular steam and i can stream again no problem.

so i guess this is feedback for the beta client in home streaming stuff. if theres more info i can provide please ask

It looks like this issue has made it to the non-beta release of Steam. My client updated today and it has completely broken Steam streaming for me. Same error as posted in OP.

same problem.... after update only see Couldn`t not connect

[mordolek]

count me in!
Host: Windows 7 Pro
Client: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
no streaming, can't unpair devices, interface on Ubuntu broken (buttons below paired devices list almost invisible)
will provide more details if valve asks

yeah I am back to the original problem again after this latest steam update. i have come to rely on this and now i dont know what to do to get around it except now i have to wait for a fix.

I have the same issue since the latest Steam update today. Tried enabling beta but that didn't help.

I am running Windows 10 Pro 1809 on both server and client. When streaming any game, screen goes black with cursor showing for about 10 seconds, then "Couldn't connect to the remote computer".

For me, this doesn't work after a couple of attempts, I get this behavior every time.

My streaming_client.exe.log shows that Steam tries to connect to 0.0.0.0:0

I have the same errors as above:

Same issue. Linux Mint pc client and Win10 Host. Black screen when trying to stream local on LAN. I am not using any beta releases of Steam.

Same problem. Windows 8.1 host, clients Windows 8.1 , Windows 10, Steam OS.

To whom it may concern, this looks like the "official" related thread: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/homestream/discussions/1/1638662230367169695/
As it is inside the "bug" section of the "in-home streaming" group, I am hoping Valve is paying more attention to that.

[Sir Warren<still alive>]

Start Steam with -console flag. It will add a Console tab to run Steam commands from.

Use

connect_remote ip:27036

to force initiate a connection to the given computer.

(PS: You might find @StreamClientArgs --framerate 30 --bitrate 4000 useful, I use those all the time on underpowered machine and slow network.)

sort of PSA: the latest steam beta on the client side seems to have solved the issue

I mean, I came here with the same problem, but switched the streaming client (inux) to the beta, and it has worked fine since then (note I just updated yesterday and still am testing it, but it did connect perfectly fine twice in a row after putting both computers to sleep, which wasn't happening before the update to beta)

[Bigtrees]

thanks for the heads up

This isn't the case anymore.

since solving it that time, I noticed that sometimes the betas work, sometimes is the non-beta that works. try switching around. (both client and server)

This is the important part! Both client & server must have the SAME VERSION! (i.e. beta+beta or stable+stable)
