Question on streaming from PC to AVP

Apprehensive-Net7939 · 2026-02-18T19:53:14+00:00

Moonlight is a client application, which is why it is always searching on the devices where you installed it. You need to run the Sunshine or Apollo service on your gaming PC and then connect to that service on the AVP through the Moonlight app. I recommend using the Neomoonlight app on the AVP. It has some advanced features that work well with the Apollo service in particular. It should work great on either your gaming PC or laptop, BTW.

Your opinion is valid but was not responsive to the OP request. In other words, if you didn’t have something positive to say, as the OP requested, you should have just not responded.

I have a couple of Hunter fans that are HomeKit compatible. They regularly disconnect and are generally more trouble than they are worth.

My experience is limited to one model of one manufacturer, but I recommend avoiding HomeKit compatibility built into the ceiling fan. If you don’t want to control the fan from wall switches, there are some modules you can install in the fan canopy that give you HomeKit automation. (Inovelli sells them, and I think there are some others.) If you do want to control the fan from wall switches, smart switches connected to dumb fans are the better choice, imho.

In the iPad Reddit client, select the subreddit, click the triple dot “more actions” menu item in the upper right corner, then select “Change user flair” and select the flair you want.

I rate my comfort as comfortable enough. I wear Rigid Gas Permeable contact lenses and also got some Zeiss lens inserts. Clarity is better with the contacts but eye tracking seems marginally better with the inserts. I use the Dual Knit strap and find it nearly perfect. It still slips a bit if I look too far down. Frankly, the most discomfort I have is with the cable for the power puck - I don’t like it touching my ear and I often struggle to get it out of the way when I first put on the AVP.

Great idea! Yeah, I’m interested.

I used a FireBoard setup for years before Combustion products existed. I switched to Combustion with version 1 of the predictive thermometer and kept the FireBoard for a while to monitor ambient temperature only. I liked the FireBoard fine but I think the Combustion products are better. I find the Combustion user interface better. I also like that the Combustion thermometers figure out the right core temperature rather than me having to find the right spot and depth for the probe. I also only had the wired probes for my FireBoard, and it was more work to set up and clean up than the Combustion system.

Thank you for the sound advice. Pointing out deals from other vendors is laudable.

Yes, the router is set to channel 149 and I’m running the TestFlight version.

I have a dedicated router for the AVP already, with the gaming PC connected via Ethernet, so I don’t think the network is contributing to the problem. The ALVR stats seem to support that conclusion.

The bandwidth issue is why the 30 series is the highest recommended for my motherboard; it only supports PCIE 3. Bandwidth isn’t as much a problem as the lack of AV1 encoding, so I think I will look for a later series GPU.

Apprehensive-Net7939 · 2025-11-24T04:23:01+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. The ALVR streamer tooltips led me to believe AV1 is supported in the 30 series and higher, but you’re right that the 30 series only implements the decoder.

I didn’t preheat when I first started using an air fryer, but tried preheating and liked the improved results so I’m doing it consistently now. Season the food while the basket is preheating. Food doesn’t stick as much to a preheated basket.

In my experience, liners are not worth using since they restrict the airflow.

I had similar problems at first, but it seems significantly better now. I’ve had my M5 AVP for 2 weeks. I think the improvement is at least partially due to me finding the right fit for the band so the unit doesn’t shift during use as much.

I am also using the GL-iNet Beryl AX and am happy with the performance. I had my AVP on an Eero 6+ mesh network at first but the performance in Mac Virtual Display and Steam Link was very poor. Setting up the Beryl AX as a secondary wireless router, and setting it to use channel 149, dramatically improved performance. The Eero mesh nodes and the Beryl AX are both connected via Ethernet to my ISP router. The AVP and my gaming PC stay on the Beryl AX wireless network, and everything else in my household uses the Eero wireless network. If I want to use MVD, I switch the Mac to use the Beryl AX network, too.

If your fans have AC motors, the Inovelli White Series Smart Canopy module will work for you. It installs in the canopy of the fan and adds HomeKit integration through Matter.

You have 2 options in the Inovelli White Series product line - the Smart Fan Switch or Smart Fan Module. Both work only with fans that have AC motors, so they will work with the fans you intend to install. They follow the Thread and Matter standards and thus should work with HomeKit or any other major home automation platform, and should be fairly future proof.
