Occasional stutters, lag, "reduce bitrate message", otherwise handles well over 80mbps just fine #1367

Describe the bug

This is a WIP issue, as I'm still collecting information, I just wanted to have a place that didn't pollute other issues' situations while I figure out what's been going on with my situation.

Originally commented on: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android/issues/79

Of note, moonlight is running on Ubuntu Linux, 24.04. I did not have any lagging on 23.10 and prior.

I've tried all solutions here (see below), and nothing has helped. What's goofy is I have buttery smooth streaming at 45-80+mbps (though, I keep this lower, because I don't want to tempt the stability anything -- I do have smooth (but slow) streaming and then stutters at 150mbps, so that's def too high) -- and I only have a 4fps slide for maybe 10s every 2-5 minutes. FPS on the host machine (shown via nvidia overlay) never drops belong my streaming refresh rate max (60fps in this case today)

So, this interval stutters is kinda telling me that either,

The host PC has 0 issues, lag -- though, I don't know if the problem is with Sunshine or Moonshine.

Here are what the stats look like when streaming is smooth image

And then when I get the slow connection rate image

actualling, according to these logs, it looks like maybe Sunshine is having an issue. hmm

NullVoxPopuli commented 3 weeks ago

I'm starting to wonder if this is stemming from the last sunshine upgrade: 0.23.1 I wonder what I had before :thinking:

NullVoxPopuli commented 3 weeks ago

Also, apologies for opening this issue on moonlight-android.

can a maintainer move the issue to sunshine?

NullVoxPopuli commented 3 weeks ago

I updated Sunshine to v2024.609.234340, and the problem persists :thinking:

NullVoxPopuli commented 3 weeks ago

One thing I've noticed is that (during the frame rate drop) the frame rate client side is far below what the performance stats are saying it is. I experienced < 3fps, but the perf stats report up to 23fps (network, decode, and render). This observation was noticed at 4mbps.

NullVoxPopuli commented 3 weeks ago

Switching from Nvidia NVENC and the AMD encoder seems to also show no improvement.

NullVoxPopuli commented 3 weeks ago

I also tried switching to Geforce Gamestream (they brought it back?) and the problem also still persists.... so... not a sunshine issue then? maybe it really is my laptop / decoding. hmm

NullVoxPopuli commented 3 weeks ago

so maybe this issue should move to moonlight-qt?

NullVoxPopuli commented 1 week ago

ok.. I'm wired now and still have the same issue. def a software problem. hmm

NullVoxPopuli commented 1 day ago

That was a lie, I forgot to turn off wifi when trying. There is 0 problem when wired, so def not a software problem.

It's entirely a problem with my laptop's wifi.
