None of these are particularly difficult on their own, but when you add them together things get a bit rough. Must pass the girlfriend test - that is, it cant look like “one of those god forsaken computer projects”.As inexpensive as can be managed without giving up the other requirements.Fairly straightforward setup, I’d rather this not turn into a Frankenstein mess.Capable of 4k60 decode, though faster would be great (tv is a 4k 120hz, and PC can definitely drive a good number of games at that res/framerate).
My requirements are a bit stiff for this project, admittedly. However, I have some requirements that are making the selection process a bit more difficult. Typically, this would be pretty straightforward, just grab a Raspberry Pi or the like and go nuts. I plan to use Steam link, as well as/or alternatively Parsec for the software, probably on Linux.
Beyond the cost aspect, it just seems like a waste when I already have a plenty powerful enough computer sitting just upstairs in the office. I’d like to be able to play games in the living room on the TV, but I don’t want to have to dork with moving my PC down, and I don’t have the money for a full on secondary gaming rig. Just wondering if anyone has tested that out yet.Hello everyone! I’ve come for some advice on putting together a small HTPC, primarily for in home streaming for games. So was thinking I should replace the Link with a RPi 4. I actually ended up getting a switch for plugging in all the things in my bedroom because the Wifi has always been sketchy there.īut I tried my Steam Link last night for the first time since I upgraded my desktop monitors to 4k, and it filled with all sorts of issues (though surprisingly had an update install!) But there were issues with trying to smash 4k resolution into whatever the Link can push, plus issues with it only covering a quarter of the screen, even though I changed the desktop to 1920x1080.
But that doesn't help when the Wifi connection is not great due to interference from so many other things. Now I know the Steam Link for some reason only has a 100MB ethernet Jack, and really, the wifi is faster. So I know there is now a new streaming app specifically for Raspberry Pi, but the questions I have are Ģ) Will it work better if I have 4k screens (on both the Linux desktop box, and my TV)?ģ) Is it more stable connection wise than say the Steam Link?
