During the beta, playback of 1080p video at 60 FPS and support for the Steam Controller are included. For worldwide release later this summer, support for streaming 4K resolutions and additional controllers will be added.

First, sorry for bump
Anywho, got a steam link a few days ago and I have a question. What does "Suspend System" do exactly? Haven't been able to find an answer anywhere.
I didn't realize, but seamless UWP is possible, because I was just playing Forza Horizon 3 on my Steam Link using my Dual Shock 4. GLoSC is truly fantastic.
I thought UWP doesn't detect controller input and is streaming in Desktop mode. Please tell me you've found a way for proper UWP streaming (60fps and controller support with button prompts, preferably the Xbox One Controller). I've given up on it because you always need third party tools or other problems show up.
The Steam Link app seems just as good as the actual hardware. How is this possible? I guess it's just all about the network card in the Link and TV?
Anyway, once they add 4K and additional controllers, I think I'll box up my Steam Link.
You need GLoSC, which I linked to above. It creates a global Xinput (360) controller, so yeah you get button prompts etc.
Still wish Valve would make the Link officially work with UWP.
GLoSC is specifically for the Steam Controller, but does it work with other controllers? I have the SC but I can't get use to the shape (it's very uncomfortable for my hands :-(). I can accept it if it's the only way, but I'd like to use my Xbox One controller.
Is there any good tutorial for GLoSC?
Will definetly try it this weekend. Now I have to download a game to try it ... and all of them are 30GB and more ... -.- Maybe I'll just try it with Fallout Shelter or something like that. No point in downloading 120GB Gears of War 4 to try this.
I used it with a DualShock 4, running FH3 on Steam Link. Button prompts, 60fps and everything.

If you're talking about the Samsung app then no, not the case for me. While it works, quality immediately degrades just a few seconds into the stream and I also have significant input delay when using a bluetooth controller (Dualshock 3). I'm also stuck with Stereo sound for some reason. TV connects via wifi to a router that's about 2 rooms away, which my PC is hard-wired to. Maybe if the TV was wired to my network too, or sitting closer to my router?
I just purchased a Steam Link yesterday after seeing it for $15 and with it in the same room as my TV and over wireless, it is significantly better in terms of quality (very stable 30Mbps) and input lag with my DS3 (just as good as the controller being wired). My only issue with the Steam Link is I can't seem to get a better quality stream than what I'm seeing. If I remove the bitrate limitation, anything past 30 just seems to introduce very bad stuttering. Is this a hardware limitation?
I think 30 is the limit. If you set it to 'Unlimited', it's just doing 30Mbps. Your issue is the wireless - you can get flawless, stutter-free performance wired, but you need to be pretty lucky to get great performance over wireless.
Dolphin doesn't really work for me streaming.
What problems are you having?
Is your desktop normally stereo? My PC has stereo speakers hooked up so the setting is for stereo. Whenever I play I need to switch the configuration of the audio device from stereo to 5.1. I don't leave it at 5.1 all the time because if I play on the PC I get weird dialog.I think I'm missing a setting for the 5.1 audio, though.. it's still only pushing through stereo, even though I thought I had it all set up.
Yeah. According to the documentation, it's supposed to be able to override it. And I think I have it set up to do that (I've basically forced 5.1 on both the PC and the Link).Is your desktop normally stereo? My PC has stereo speakers hooked up so the setting is for stereo.

You may want to look at the changes added to beta build 617, which allows you to specify a PC:Both TP-Link #2 and TP-Link #3, I assume, are talking directly to TP-Link #1, but perhaps they end up on different "networks?"

Press the button on your controller?So I bought a Steam Link and set it up today, just gave it a test drive on Hitman and it seemed to work great.
But after a while it's turned itself off and won't turn on again. So really stupid question but how do you get it to turn back on, bar unplugging it?

Been trying off and on all afternoon to figure this out, thought I'd ask here.
I'm having a problem getting Dark Souls 3 to run on the Steam Link. I just get a solid white screen with the mouse cursor but can hear the game audio. From what I've researched online the most common fix was to run the game in windowed mode but its not making a difference for me.
Anyone had a similar experience and know how to fix?
Do you have RivaTuner on? Hitman behaved similarly for me if I tried to stream it while RivaTuner was running.
I did a little reading on some of the games with which I was having issues - I had a feeling it might be driver conflicts (some mentioned the xaudio2_7.dll, which seems to be DirectX audio from Windows 7). I used to be on Windows 7, and did the in-place upgrade to Windows 10 on day one. I'd planned on doing a clean install a few weeks after and now two years later still hadn't.I've been getting a lot of hard crashes when streaming games to either of my Steam Links recently - it's extremely annoying.
Yeah, with NVFBC. I actually just thought it was the games I was playing, but disabling it does fix it for me too.Is this happening to any of you?

It was fine one week ago, today I updated the nvidia drivers and... surprise. Unless I disable NVFBC, it will look like this.
Edit: Confirmed, it's the latest Nvidia driver. After a rollback, I can use NVFBC again.
Try setting it to balanced, and only the nVidia and Intel hardware encoders. You don't have the other one. I'd personally just have the nVidia one enabled.
Enabled the stats display on the Steam Link settings and run some network tests to see what's going on.
Samsung has released a free Steam Link app for their 2016 and 2017 Smart TVs!
You can find it by searching for Steam in the Smart Hub app store.
Please make sure that your TV firmware is updated to the latest version for the best experience.
Supported Controllers:
Steam Controller
Xbox 360 wired and wireless

Tempted to get it just because. Controller is $35 as well. No wired network though, but I do have a Google Wifi network. Apparently that isn't good enough for the preceding post though haha.
