I setup sunshine and moon deck and I have pair moon buddy when I paired moonlight with sunshine it connects successfully but when I play a game it just says cannot find moonlight stream

So in short, the Moonlight client complains that there is not MoonDeckStream app?

Have you followed these steps? https://github.com/FrogTheFrog/moondeck-buddy/wiki/Sunshine-setup

I'm facing the same issue 😞 . I installed it using the wiki article.

When I launch a game via the moon icon on the detail page in game mode, the host machine correctly switches to steam big picture mode and starts the game.

But on the steam deck I only get a "Loading app list ..." for ~ 5-10 sec. before I get the error message "Failed to find application MoonDeckStream".

Strange thing: When I start "MoonDeckStream" as a non-steam game in game mode as a test, it connects to the running host session with the game.

Perhaps it's the decky loader plugin on the game page that cannot launch the correct local "MoonDeckStream" on the client 🤔

I got it to work. It's almost embarrassing, but maybe it will happen to others in the future too: In Sunshine, when copying and pasting the app name "MoonDeckStream", I accidentally included a trailing whitespace "MoonDeckStream ". Apparently, Sunshine doesn't trim the leading and trailing whitespaces, so the name was not 100% identical.

So, folks, be careful when you copy and paste. 🤦

@thecael glad that got it working :D

That aside, closing this due to inactivity from the OP.
