Steam Streaming Revealed:

Brought to you by: System76

How do you get it?

• Steam Community :: Group :: Steam In-Home Streaming

Requirements

• A machine powerful enough on the “server” side to play the game, and encode it.
• A machine on the client side powerful enough to decode whatever the resolution of video is it will be receiving (resolution is set to the servers screen size).
• About 3MB/s sustained transfer. That might be trickier than you think over Wifi.

Game Streaming

• Games installed on Windows box show up in my Library

• Game install status is displayed on the Linux steam client while the Windows box is installing.

• I was able to stream Dust from Linux to my Windows box.

• When the game you are streaming is running for the first time on the host Windows box, and the DirectX reds is getting installed, Steam will inform you that the remote system is running first time setups on the remote box.

• UAC will break this process at this time.

• Steam In-Home Streaming Beta Demonstration

Non-Steam Application Streaming

• Valve open up in-home streaming beta to non-Steam games

In this latest instance, they’ve updated the Steam client beta’s in-home streaming functionality to support “streaming non-Steam games in the Steam library”. That means, whether they’re part of Steam or not, you’ll be able to beam your most powerful games between local area network PCs. Even Minesweeper.

• You might lose title bars.
• If you’re tricky enough you can get to the full Windows desktop.
• Everything is full screen. Loading boxes, new windows, etc.

Notes

• All Windows stream as full screen, so loading boxes are full screen while the app loads.

• Works from Big Picture Mode

• My Life is now complete – I can now change my main pc to my laptop (arch) and stream my games to either the laptop or shield from the desktop

• Why you will love nftables

Linux 3.13 is out bringing among other thing the first official release of nftables. nftables is the project that aims to replace the existing {ip,ip6,arp,eb}tables framework aka iptables. nftables version in Linux 3.13 is not yet complete. Some important features are missing and will be introduced in the following Linux versions. It is already usable in most cases but a complete support (read nftables at a better level than iptables) should be available in Linux 3.15.

• Valve games for Debian Developers
