monitor / display plugged in? I have some connected, but they are all powered off.
Sunshine requires X to be running, which requires some sort of hardware display connected. Either a dummy HDMI plug, or a real HDMI display. My Linux server is completely headless, tucked away in a wardrobe, I have no spare monitors to plug into it and it wouldn’t be all that useful to just have a functioning monitor hanging out on top of it just for it to never be used.
If this is wrong, please feel free to correct me, I’m happy to try again but the last time I tried sunshine would not stream due to the fact there was no monitor and no virtual monitor solutions would work.
Well actually, there is one virtual display solution that worked - Chrome Remote Desktop, but it’s janky to keep that connection open while using sunshine, and because of audio routing it meant the sound was in chrome remote desktop, not streamed through sunshine, and controls wouldn’t work.
If you are emulating a PS Vita, no need to stream 1080p content?
Wat.
I’m not emulating a PS Vita, I am streaming PC games to my actual real OLED OG PS Vita.
This is why the OP solution of using Steam Link which is miles better than Jank-shine would not work for me, because the Vita does not have Steam Link.
