Steamlink restarts steam on connection #10981

Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam restarts after connecting steamlink. I've been trying to connect my steam to an Ipad via Steamlink, something I do quite often, but since the last update it restarts steam when connected. Started after the recent update, used it normally on Thursday, didn't use yesterday and today it is like this.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open steam
  2. Open steamlink on another device
  3. Connect to that steam account from that device using steamlink

I tried generating a steam-log using the command but I keep receiving a "write failed: broken pipe".

For those that might be dealing with the same issue and those who are trying to fix it, in my case, using an Nvidia GPU, disabling hardware encoding on both AMD and Intel GPUs in the remote play settings on steam seems to have solved it.

It used to restart immediately upon connection, I'm now 10 minutes connected via steam link and it seems stable.
