Thats cool you can access the entire pc, like you dont even need RealVNC, TeamViewer, Anydesk, etc anymore. Is it possible to allow it to stream two games to two people at the same time, like say you build a very powerful pc and keep it in your basement and then your kids each have like a small form factor or micro pc in their rooms, but each could play their own fully rendered 3d game using the CPU and graphics processing of your server in your basement?
That is actually possible with duostream but the quality of the stream isnt as good unless you pay a certain amount but I’m sure its not that expensive. You can still use it for free though. if you need some help please let me know. Thanks for the support!
Hmm is it just a parsec/teamviewer remote control stuff? Or can I play normally on my pc while a family member use moonlight to open another game in a sandbox and use my pc as his running machine without interrupting my own session? will our mouses and keyboards just interfere with each other?
By default it is only for one person to use the computer at a time, but with something like duostream, you can achieve what ur looking for. Multiple people using the computer at the same time. The free teir of duostream is 720p 30 fps but it doesn’t look too bad. I’m not sure how much it costs to upgrade but if that’s something your interested you could check that out
Latency over open ports is 150+ for me and I have no idea why. I expected around 50 max on 5g and well under my host upload speed… kind of sad I can’t figure out why… or in my home network just can’t handle it. Cat6 wired directly to host. Only get 25mbs up in my area… but even at 320p only requiring around 2mbs the latency is still 150+. The 5g in my area is better than my home network as well.
It’s a setting within sunshine, found it a few mins after this post if anyone looks for it, make sure it’s set to anyone can connect, rather then just local host!
Sorry for the late response but im glad you figured it out! its not really recommended to do that since its only password protected but if you’re only using this on your local network then it should be fine
This works perfect for the most time, but there's one little thing that i'd like to fix if possible - my mouse seems to lag every now and then for about 4-5 seconds, is this an internet issue? My internet connection seems to be decent so I'm not sure. Also, does moonlight affect the performance of the pc that i stream from? Like, will games work slower while streaming? Thanks for the video btw.
The sunshine server shouldn’t really affect the actual performance of the game, i don’t think it’s that intensive. Can you try from other devices and see if you face the same issue of your mouse lagging? I’ve never really faced that issue
Korzystałem z podobnego rozwiązania opartym na sunshine i moonlight. Miałem do tego openVPN który ułatwial łączenie z dowolnego miejsca, ograniczeniem był jednak router który ciągnął 14Mb/s a fajnie się grało przy 20. Więc czasami robiło się ziarno, ale płynność była spoko. Gdybym tylko ogarnął openVPN z 30Mb byłoby fajnie.
Trying to get Sunshine/Moonlight to work remotely but UPnP and port forwarding from my router doesn't seem to work. Any ideas what I should try to resolve the issue?
Well if ur using an isp like xfinity/verizon you have a public ip address just for your home network but other isps could use cgnat and have multiple home networks use one public ip address. If its cgnat you can’t really port forward but you said you had the option to port forward so i don’t think thats the issue. Could you go to some port forward checker like yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports and see if port 47989 is open? You should already have it as a rule in your port forwarding settings
What if you have 2 monitors at home? Whatever I would want to play remotely is saved on steam, and just for my program window setup, games are on the primary monitor, and steam and communications apps are on the secondary.
I’m not sure if you can stream multiple monitors at the moment but you can choose what to stream. You could also set up multiple workspaces or virtual desktops and navigate through them with ctrl+win+left/right. That’s a lot more convenient if you only have one screen with you. Do you have two screens with you when you are not home?
I was looking for a solution to play when I'm really far away from my desktop (like 200Km+).. Can I still achieve a good result with low latency using this methods?
@@MadhuKraft thanks for answering that quickly 🙏🏻 I was thinking about using Tailscale to be able to connect from another internet connection (as I’ll be in a different state from the desktop), instead of port forwarding.. What do you think? I’ve seen people saying it is safer.
@@MadhuKraft Hello there my friend. I need some help over here if you can. On my first time trying to access the desktop from really far away it is not working at all.. As I've said I was using Tailscale as the VPN service and it seems my desktop is being listed offline even that it was seen online till yesterday 23:30.. Any ideas on how to solve this? Or what could be the problems?
has it worked with any other devices? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem with the client(moonlight) or a problem with the client not being able to reach the server(sunshine)
if you log into your actual router and you see your host computer listed under the connected devices and if your router supports UPnP, then it should work
If ur using an nvidia shield you will not be using moonlight right? You will be using the built in nvidia game streaming app. Have you tried moonlight on a computer or any other device?
Exposing this to the public internet seems extremely dangerous. If the bad guys guess your password, they are literally on your desktop right? How do you protect yourself with this setup?
It’s not too dangerous since the person would need access to the computer before trying to connect remotely. Whenever new devices connect you have to enter the pin in the server computer web ui. But I also do not expose it to the internet and I set up a vpn connection which I show how to do in the video linked in the description
Sorry for the late response, is your mouse not working when you open certain apps or it just doesn’t work at all when connected to the machine? Could you try on your phone or another device? I know some games like valorant do not let you use remote input meaning input that isnt directly connected to the pc
Please help me When I put the IP address into Moonlight, it says (unable to connect to the specified computer) Even when the computer shows up, it tells me the code is wrong in sunshine I just want to play with my friend ;(
So I assume both computers are on the same network cus the computer eventually showed up in moonlight right? In the troubleshooting tab of sunshine, do you see any logs being generated when you try to connect from moonlight?
@@MadhuKraft I've discovered some problems on my end I only have one question The two devices must be on the same network. If the answer is no, how can I add the IP of a device to a different network? Thank you for your response to me❤
@user-vj8tj3ki2q If you dont want the device to be on the same network you will need to search up ur public ip address on the server computer. You will also need to enable UPnP in sunshine settings. I show how to do this in the video as well. Click on the chapters and skip to that part of the video. But to test moonlight for the first time its best to do it on the same network to ensure that it actually works for you
in your windows taskbar, do you see the arrow in the bottom right to reveal the apps running in the background? If you see sunshine there, right click it and open it. But if you dont, run sunshine again
Thanks, the latency is almost unnoticeable, my main monitor is bleeding everywhere so am using my brothers laptop to game lol
Bro, clearest tutorial on sunshine + moonlight. I was pretty confused initially
Glad to hear that!
Thank you so much, your video is so easy to understand and i actually made mine to work after watching so many other vids

Any specific reason why after setting up the port forwarding "Everything works" when you go to the PUBLICIP:PORT web address the access is denied?

@@MadhuKraft yeah I know, I usually vpn my main pc for remote connections outside of my network.
yeah me too its more secure like that

By any chance do you know whether your isp gives you a public ip address? Which address are you using to connect?
@@MadhuKraft I used the public IP address that is displayed on the "what is my ip address" site, is it possible that address is wrong?
Well if ur using an isp like xfinity/verizon you have a public ip address just for your home network but other isps could use cgnat and have multiple home networks use one public ip address.

it mostly just depends on the speed of the internet for both devices. It could work well

What do you think? I’ve seen people saying it is safer.
Yeah i use wireguard to access my network. That’s a lot safer than exposing the streaming server
@@MadhuKraft is Wireguard better than Tailscale?
I’m gonna search a tutorial for it.. Not sure if Wireguard is as easy to configure as Tailscale.

Great guide thank you.

I tried this with android, but appears the error message "Unable to connect to the specified computer..."
has it worked with any other devices? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem with the client(moonlight) or a problem with the client not being able to reach the server(sunshine)
Is there anyway to also have mic support
The pin muts be put it only one time? Or everytime that im going to play? Thanks
it’s only one time
Can UPnP work if the host computer is on a WiFi extender?
if you log into your actual router and you see your host computer listed under the connected devices and if your router supports UPnP, then it should work
best explain .full thanks
very nice video!
My moonlight latency is happening how to fix the problem when I am playing a game . I stream threw my Nividia shield with moonlight.
If ur using an nvidia shield you will not be using moonlight right? You will be using the built in nvidia game streaming app. Have you tried moonlight on a computer or any other device?
How do I make my laptop screen turn off while using moonlight on my phone? I have it all setup with automation
by using hdmi dummy plug or create a virtual display
Exposing this to the public internet seems extremely dangerous. If the bad guys guess your password, they are literally on your desktop right?
