The Raspberry Pi continues to amaze me. I recently started streaming my Steam library to my RPI2 over wifi. For those who want to try this, the best tutorial I found was THIS. When it was all said and done I ran:
Moonlight stream -720 -30fps -bitrate 5000 -map xbox.map 192.168.0.2
Magic! My entire Steam library is now beamed to my TV and running almost perfectly. I started getting stuttering and frame loss. I’m on my second extended network so it must be the bitrate (the video quality). I’ll turn it down below bad web video of say, 300, all the way down to Sega CD quality of 50. It looks like garbage and the frame drop seems to have gotten worse. Hmmmm… The errors are all audio related and mention alsa. I don’t know what any of this means, but let me type in this stuff I found on the internet:
sudo apt-get install alsa-utils sudo apt-get install mpg321 sudo modprobe snd-bcm2835
Amazing! The frame drops reduced significantly. I get a .25 to .5 second delay every 2-6 minutes randomly. Not bad, but enough to make me crash in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2010. I lower the bitrate to 50 again and the frame drops appear to be the same or worse, but still better than before the modprobe command. Since I am using my _EXT2 network, I plan to see if it is the hops along the network causing the issue. I will run the bitrate low again, but connect to the main network (weak signal opposite side of the house upstairs) and see if it helps. I have ruled out anti-virus, team viewer, and other apps running on the source PC. I’ll post back my findings. Let me know if anyone has solved this or has any ideas.
