Forum Joe posted:My question is, would an NVidia Shield meet my needs? Is the streaming better than Steam’s offering? Steam and GameStream both use NVFBC for stream file capture as far as I know, so they should be pretty similar for latency. You can go into your steam streaming log file to see which part of your setup is slowing things down. There's a post on how to do it here: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/homestream/discussions/0/540733523404402134/ If it says slow decode is to blame, then a shield would probably improve things for you.

quote:The only audience for streaming from a laptop is this small and very specific niche of weird older nerds who haven't bothered to keep up with the times. The only thing I've found this marginally useful for is watching things like Twitch with ads blocked. DNS ad blocking doesn't seem to stop Twitch ads, but uBlock Origin does.

um excuse me posted:Fine by me, Amazon can built their voice recognition on the backs of others. I'll keep my privacy... for now. This is some silly libertarian poo poo. I'm sure there's some privacy invading thing that you're using that you didn't know about.

um excuse me posted:Just because there are some privacy invading aspects of the things you use on a daily basis doesn't mean you should just give up and give everyone anything and is not some "silly libertarian poo poo". That's some silly poo poo. I meant being ok with others getting screwed over by not being as savvy as you are about opt-out settings is silly because you're probably missing some opt-outs too.

tuyop posted:You are extremely triggered by my observation that your old gaming pc uses more electricity than something else. This is a strange response to a discussion about the functionality of an appliance. To be fair an idle system without a GPU probably isn't using more than 50-60 watts. You can also have it go to sleep if you're going to be using a keyboard with it. It's clunky but it's probably not wasting more than  a year if you let it sleep when you're not using it.

The NAS thread in SH/SC can probably answer specific questions: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2801557 For your use case a platter drive is fine and an SSD would be extremely overkill though. If the Shield TV is working for you there's no need to move Plex to the NAS.

Will a regular Bluetooth receiver work, or does it have to use Spotify connect?
