Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

  1. Streaming (Remote Play) from PC to PC (Both PCs running Fedora 35, Nvidia hardware / drivers, Wayland disabled) results in jumbled video.

  2. Starting Steam from the terminal with "-nopipewire" seems to fix it

Jumbled Video

Corrected video after starting steam with "-nopipewire"

I have the same issue, trying to stream Dirt Rally 2.0 from Windows 10 PC to a laptop running Pop OS 20.10.

Starting steam with the -nopipewire command didn't resolve my issue, is there any way I can help contribute to this issue?

Here's a screenshot of what the video looks like for me: image

EDIT:

Disabling hardware decoding on the client fixed the video issue, however this results in unsatisfactory input lag and freezing.

I should note that once you get into a game, the issue seems to go away (depending on the game). But you can't launch the game because you can't see where to launch it from, doesn't seem to be an issue on Windows 10.

I tried launching steam with both -nopipewire and --nopipewire and neither seemed to have an effect, the steam UI coming from the computer was jumbled and you are unable to get into a game. Screenshot_20220224-180937

@jpaveg it shouldn't matter on Pop! OS because as far as I know it doesn't use Pipewire for audio, just pulseaudio.

I did get a message that my device I'm streaming to (Pixel 6) is said to not be tested. Is there a specific device you all are using?
