Has anyone tried limelight?

https://github.com/limelight-stream/limelight-pc Seems like a preview of what In-Home Streaming will be like.

Well you can try other solutions in linux xpra will be your best solution for low latency.Radeon cards dont have a hardware encoder like the shadowplay one (correct me if im wrong) so dont expect radeon to be supported at first if Valve implements a non software solution.

Hmm looks like Xpra is only for OSes with X-Server on the host but there is a Windows client. This would be a great option if I wanted to stream Linux games and apps seamlessly from my Linux machine to my Windows one bit I'm trying to do the opposite lol.

Know of any other good options?

Splashtop seems to work but its in beta form on Linux ATM and streams at lower framerate (about 15 FPS) regardless of game and suffers upto 2 second sound latency on SteamOS and Ubuntu 12.04 compared to the established Windows client, which works very well. I might report these issues in there forum in-case the dev team aren't aware. TeamViewer 9 for Linux works pretty well though after you go thru the trouble of replacing the "built-in" Wine 1.6 the "native" Linux version uses to one that has working sound. This is what I'm using now but figured I would see what other options might exist.

You can use splashtop but it will not be a very good latency wise.

Prior to wiping Windows 8.1 off my laptop and replacing it with SteamOS, I tried Splashtop for Windows both on the host server and client and the experience over my WiFi N home network was pretty fantastic. It offered very smooth framerate and almost not noticable latency in input and sound.

As soon as I try Splashtop on SteamOS and Ubuntu, however, there is low framerate and high-latency sound; input latency is pretty low and good, though. I wonder why it sucks so much more. With TeamViewer the experience is the same as on Windows as its is on Linux after the sound issue is corrected. However, I think it has only been the very latest v9 release that TeamViewer offered any kind of acceptable performance for streaming fast graphics and video and v8 for even sound redirection; initially it wasn't intended for these purposes at all.

I'll give it a shot when I get home. :) Looks pretty sweet.

I'm having issues with Limelight on OSX. Downloaded v.21 from GitHub and it launched fine, however IO seems to be a bit of an issue. My keyboard is completely locked, any key I hit triggers a mac error noise and the mouse only registers as moving when holding down the left mouse button. I don't know if this is exclusive to the the OSX build or whether something is wrong on my end. From what I could tell from the camera pans though, the FPS was pretty high and latency was very low which is definitely a much bigger step than IO issues. Hope I can get it working soon.

Was working fine but after about 30 seconds but then promptly BSOD'd my gaming rig. lol Tried a second time just to make sure with the same results. Definitely shows potential though.

Tested it, and its works like a charm, just some problems to get it up and running in the beginning, but then i was able to play everything thats on my pc, 720p @ 60 hz was realy smooth and playable. Gigabit cable connection was used for testing.

[Herpiderpy]

I got it running Win -> Linux but it was unusable on my xbmc machine in 1080@30hz. Frame stutter and no sound. Big latency problems. Gigabit ethernet. It's a cool idea but the execution is lacking right now. With a smarter UI and some work limelight will be really cool.

Edit: should mention I tried it on macosx with the same results as a above poster (not possible to use kb/mouse) and android (dont have a controller, didnt work very well with touchscreen controls).

[Zhnu]

Well it runs best at 720p@60hz.I dont have a OSX machine to try, but you can always try to use previous the version (or mby is a java problem), it really shows what can be done but y it's still a beta with alot of bugs.

[Zhnu]

I really would like to see other implementations using the nvenc but that dont emulate nvidia shield I would like to test different encoding profiles.

[Ya boi]

Unstable connection to my Linux laptop, stuttering. I do not have the required card series(600/700) but it actually still runs, I guess it's to do with the slow wireless connection.

[Zhnu]

You don't have the required card on your pc?What is yoour graphic card.

[nonamejuju]

When h265 will be out this gonna rock!

[Zhnu]

h265 is out problem is the amount of resources required to encode with it.
