I've used Moonlight for years with mixed results. I have back issues, so being able to play my PC whilst bedridden with back spasms is amazing, however your client device is incredibly important. Older or cheaper Android smartphones will struggle handling the WiFi connection for the stream AND the bluetooth connection for your controller and will cause increased latency and dropped frames in my experience. If you have a wired/direct-connect controller to use, or have a client with a more powerful wireless stack (or ideally a wired connection), you will have a much better experience.

Solid video and some good tid-bits in here. I have an issue with Parsec liking to sign out after some idle time. I am curious if moonlight/sunshine has that issue. I would suspect not. Also the increased visual performance for a minor latency hit COULD be beneficial for games that are more reliant on their "cinematic" qualities. But games that have shooter mechanics even IF they are single player can really suffer from every little spec of added latency.

Hey Craft! Just found your channel and this video was very enlightening on parsec vs moonlight/sunshine. Given Nvidia Gamestream will be shut down in feb 2023, and also given that it is by far the best implementation of remote play services in terms of latency, encoding, etc. I'm curious about your thoughts on the future of private cloud gaming without Nvidia as the lead competitor. Do you think private cloud gaming will see performance improvements in the coming months or years that rival the best of Nvidia's gamestream?
@gregneumarke9373 2 жыл бұрын
It would be great to have a more objective roundup with some way to actually measure the latency to compare solutions. It would also be interesting to compare to things like gotomyPC or AnyDesk (which claims to be fast enough for video editing) to see if standard desktop sharing apps come anywhere near these solutions.
@cheplays2482 2 жыл бұрын
The comparisons have been made countless times by others. Those programs are not made with low latency remote operation in mind, and have never been adequate for gaming or other applications beyond some light remote work and tech support. Those other remote desktop programs seldom use GPU acceleration, which is one of the contributing factors to latency. Parsec and Moonlight+Sunshine are really the only two best free options for anything requiring low latency. What I don't think is honest is simply using Cyberpunk 2077 as a test case for Moonlight, as the way Moonlight relies on a GPU's framebuffer to stream could lead to issues like the client not being able to render a game's stream. Moonlight has and always be hit or miss, as in (on Windows at least), you will always encounter some software that will either not stream through Moonlight unless you're streaming the entire desktop, and you could run into issues where enabling Vsync in a game causes the client to render frames at half the refresh rate, effectively halving your framerate and introducing visual stuttering in the process.

Latency is a lot higher that way versus these methods though.

As of today I am going to seriously start looking into switching over to Moonlight and Sunshine.

I use a Raspberry Pi 3 to connect through parsec. Works amazingly well. Although the links to get parsec working on RPi3 are all broken. It gives an old broken build 22, where as if u can get a link to the latest version its 47. I have Parsec setup so it connects to my PC automatically almost as if its a games console :P. Would be much better if Parsec would get updated to use a RPi4 so we could all get H265 decoding support. Which would help reduce internet bandwidth and increase visual quality.

Parsec worked great when I was playing Tekken 5 DR (RPCS3) with former friends and the latency was almost non-existent, be aware this game is pure framedata and we weren't bothered by the minor pixel artifact caused by the encoding, luckily I have a 1080ti and both were using fiber so any lag was due to extra processing on my part and they never felt any of it, my biggest issue with this is that I can't use it on android and pair a physical keyboard and mouse to attempt remote play without it triggering android interface, this is the only problem with remote play on android with either bluetooth or physical devices, it needs to capture them and ignore the android interface completely for it to be working like a laptop. I know it's a year old comment but it's still relevant now that I want to play warzone DMZ on my job without having to buy a super cheap laptop just to make my 5G data pack sweating.

I've been using parsec and moonlight for the last year and a half and my personal experience is I don't recommend using it unless you have a wired connection or a fiber connection from your two machines. My original goal was to take my gaming machine and put it in my server rack so that way when needed I could stream VR or play games anywhere in my house. Parsec has higher latency than moonlight throughout my testing and configuration. The parsec seems to have the most degradation picture quality. Parsec is better at remote desktop and playing games outside your home network. Moonlight offers a better experience in terms of latency. However, some games will glitch out with random colors and does not support remote desktop natively. You can do some work arounds to fix this. Moonlight will not work remotely unless you VPN in which cause more latency. Something else you need to consider is that if you want to use features such as h265 streaming encoder, you need a GPU on the remote end which supports this Once you set everything up, everything should be working as expected but you will notice the occasional frame or loss and bit rate. If you can live with the trade-offs of slight latency and degraded quality in high action scenes, even with a wired connection or fiber, then you won't be disappointed. But if you require the low latency and like to see high quality images then I would not recommend remote streaming

I've been using Parsec since 2019 and Moonlight since 2020. My ISP doesn't give residential connections a static IP so I use Zerotier to connect over the web, Moonlight has lower latency and a better picture. Latency is very decent at about 50-60ms when I'm not on my local network. It's good enough to play fortnite and win gunfights. Apex is way too sweaty for double latency though.

We appreciate your guys feedback. Now I know not to even try this in the LR wo running an ethenet cable in there

Moonlight was great until Nvidia stopped support for nvidia because Sunshine only works with my local home network and doesn't work with any other network or my cellular data vs Parsec which so far works perfectly with my Data and my Local Network so Parsec is taking the win for me atm

So I'm about to build a system for this very purpose. The question is, do I use Proxmox for my hypervisor and then virtualize Windows and TrueNAS Scale. Or do I skip Proxmox and just virtualize Windows in TrueNAS Scale?
@CraftComputing 2 жыл бұрын
If you want GPU support, use Proxmox as your host. The vGPU unlock script doesn't work with TrueNAS Scale.

@OP i know this video is just a year old but would you consider doing a update version of this video esp the moonlight part?...also do you have to be connected to the internet for moonlight to work or can you do it without a internet connection? 👇bonus👇-TY if you read all of this what im looking for is to remote into my gaming desktop from my laptop (locally of course) like how RDC works but gameable without have to have to deal with trying to have to worry about keeping a internet connection? food for thought

I wonder if a lower latency networking phy would help with the frame latency, something like fiber or Direct Attach Copper biaxial cable? Or is it mostly based on how quickly the server can encode the video for streaming?
@twitchyarby 2 жыл бұрын
The use of DAC vs fiber vs Ethernet isn't going to make a measurable difference in latency - those latency differences are nanosecond scale. The vast majority of the latency is going to come from the encode, transmit, receive, decode steps. Network routing and switching latency will only start to be measurable over wan connections.

So this is how you get games working outside your house? Inside my house I just use the steam link app which sadly dose not support the select button. If only there was a way to have your computer sleep when not using it that would make this perfect. Did he sadly say at the end that this only works with Nvidia cuz if that's the reason I'm not using the Nvidia in home streaming. I have an AMD card (R9 390)

I use steamlink since some years at home and outside with no issue. To my opinion its the easiest one to use, its free and really fast, works on android/linux/windows, can t say about apple. The best i did is to use to use my friend s wheel G27 at his home using steamlink on a py3 linked to my desktop! If u want it to work outside, u should set an exception on your firewall desktop computer and open the right ports on your router, dont forget to set the wake on lan and you good.

You can use Parsec over WireGuard, works better than you'd expect.

Good to know I don’t have to port forward for Parsec. And good thing a school down the street from me was throwing out a bunch of Dell OptiPlex 790 USFF’s with 2nd Gen core i3 CPU’s. I took some home with me and they all work great after I de-dusted them, replaced the thermal paste and installed Windows 10. I’ll take one to Florida with me so I can stream RDR2 from my main gaming rig.

Can you please do the linux version and compare the results with windows especially over internet? For me the experience has not been good because of latency and stutters. I've been trying to achieve the same quality of stream under Linux but windows + GeForce experience is still a lot better. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I dunno more. At home I have a 4k display + Arch + Sunshine + nvidia patched for NvFBC, client pc running moonlight under Linux

With Parsec I got connection issues with wi-fi icon showing up every 20 sec. Even with wired 600mb internet connection. With Moonlight everything works fine. Sadly I think Moonlight has more washed colours than Parsec.

Hello. Ik that for Parsec you have to pay in order to play without your display. Is this a similar case to Moonlight?

From my experience with Moonlight you don't need a display except for some certain games like I had problems with Sonic mania without a display it kept giving me a black screen
