2 years ago Hi mate. I'm terribly sorry it's causing you so much grief. Let's see if we can get to the bottom of it.
If the switch is stuck waiting for a connection it means it is failing to establish a connection with the pc. You've mentioned that you've attempted all the usual troubleshooting procedures.
Could you please enable verbose output for the log importance threshold (in config.ini) and have ffmpeg encoder output enabled as well (not the audio option)?
Then attempt to connect using manual IP connection. Please attach a screenshot or text file of the console output for me to take a look.
Thanks.
P.S. if you could, please also attach a copy of the Switch's network configuration file.
Edit: also do you have any antivirus software (aside from Windows defender) on your computer? If so can you try disabling it?
I've been getting stuck on the gray Stream Pending Connection screen every time I've tried to start a stream, and I have no idea what could be causing the problem.
I've made sure the IP addresses are all correct, tried using both manual and IP search for the host IP (the switch has never been able to find a host IP through the search), made sure both PC and Switch parts are up to date, made sure the PC app is whitelisted in my firewall, made sure I had all the necessary PC stuff installed, restarted my computer, restarted my switch, uninstalled and reinstalled everything, experimented with stream quality settings, made sure the app wasn't deleted on pc, made sure both devices are on the same Wifi, double checked to make sure all the IP addresses are the same, made sure that ffmpeg.exe and switch-remote-play-host.exe are in the same folder, double checked and made sure the PC app is whitelisted on both public and private networks, made sure the pc and switch app versions match, and triple checked to make sure the IPs match between apps, in addition to trying to boot up one before the other to see if anything different happened, and tried activating debug logs for ffmpegm which do not seem to be showing up whatsoever.
I'm at a complete loss as to what I should do. I noticed someone else had a similar issue about a year ago, but the only difference I have is that my switch can't find a Host IP through a search. It will start searching and just never stop, not giving a failure or a success message. Any ideas for what might be happening?
