[BUG] Steam Link, video not streaming
Describe the bug
I am using Steam Link on Quest 2, which was working since Sep 10 (first update enabling Link on Linux), but it stopped working after a couple of updates (unsure which ones). Currently all I get is "Video not streaming" on headset and critical error on desktop (-201).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Launch SteamVR on desktop
- Launch Steam Link on headset
- Connect to desktop
- "Video not streaming" error
Expected behavior
Video streaming like it used to.
System Information (please complete the following information):
- Steam client version (build number or date):
1762805486, Mon, Nov 10 10:30 PM UTC +03:00 - SteamVR version:
2.14.2 - Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu):
Debian 13 (trixie) - Steam runtime diagnostics: runtime.txt
- Steam and SteamVR logs: steam-logs.tar.gz
- Minidumps: steam-minidumps.tar.gz
- Steam Link version:
2.0.19.1684, (5001684)
Additional context
Disabling vrwebhelper (chmod -x ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrwebhelper/linux64/vrwebhelper) allows me progress further into SteamVR starting location (the one with mountains background). I launched Thumper in VR mode, which first failed with "unable to initialize OpenXR"; SteamVR crashed shortly after. On second attempt Thumper launched successfully on desktop (although with very low framerate), game reacted to headset movements, but there was no video in the headset; SteamVR also crashed.
Logs, dumps:
Issue is still there after SteamVR 2.14.3 update.
