RELEASE Homebrew Switch Remote Play - Stream your PC to your Switch

[admin]

Welcome to Switch Remote Play.

Yet another PC streaming application for the Switch.

I'd like to immediately start off saying thanks to jakibaki for In-Home-Switching and DevL0rd for SkyNX.

The main goal of this project came about from the small inconveniences of the predecessors. I didn't like having to get up to configure the PC application as some games I'd need to drop the settings to get smoother images, etc. I also didn't like that if the Switch ever slept, I'd need to inject the payload again. So, I made this to try and move all the configuration to the Switch's side and have it be as convenient as possible.

Stream Encoder Settings Examples

Spoiler

Considering a lot of people seem to skip or miss the encoder configuration screen entirely, or they just don't know what to do with the settings, I've put a simple suggestion on what configuration to choose for certain quality targets:

• Common Settings
  • Desktop Resolution: 1280 x 720
  • Switch Resolution: 1280 x 720
  • Vsync Mode: variable frame rate
  • Hardware Accel Mode: auto
  • Video Codec: h264
• Perfect Image Quality
  • Bitrate: 5120
  • Quality Control Factor: 0
  • Encoder Preset: very slow
• Low Latency quality
  • Bitrate: 5120
  • Quality Control Factor: 20(or higher)
  • Encoder Preset: ultra fast
• Balanced quality
  • Bitrate: 8192
  • Quality Control Factor: 8 ~ 15
  • Encoder Preset: medium or fast

These all depend on your CPU's performance and what you're running at the time. If you're having trouble, please make sure to include your machine's specs in your post. (CPU, RAM, GPU at minimum please)

Enjoy everyone!
