No errors displayed.
Steps to Reproduce

- Connect TV to Steam PC
- Wait until freeze
Expected Behavior
Screen does not freeze
Basic Information
LG G2
IHSplay Information
Version: 0.2.2 Audio Module: ndl-webos5 Video Module: ndl-webos5 webOS Version: 7.3.0
Computer Setup
GPU: Radeon 5700 XT CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 2560x1440 Resolution
Additional Context
Add any other context about the problem here. For example error message on the screen, and settings in IHSplay
Could you try turning it off? Some people encounter similar issues when they use moonlight. I'd like to see if it's the case.
I've seen this a lot as well, although for me the screen goes black but audio continues and inputs are still working. Sometimes disconnecting the stream and reconnecting fixes it and sometimes I can fix it by vaguely knowing what buttons I'm pressing in the Steam menus and exiting the game or even sometimes just pressing the Guide button and opening the Steam menu will fix it.
even i have the issue the stream freezes after 5-10 minutes, the thing i do is reconnect it by going back and it works. but the problem is i have to do this everytime after 5-10 minutes, can you implement something like automatic reconnecting by clicking a button on remote, it takes only 5-6 seconds to to reconnect by going back on the homebrew menu, try to implement something which will do it automatic. thank you for this homebrew appreciate it <3
@trxshnumb Hi, the stream freezing is a bug and should be fixed later, so reconnect is not necessary.

@trxshnumb I deleted my last reply because I was replying to a wrong repo. I know it feels like forever to wait, but there are multiple projects to update... The good news is I'm going to work on ihsplay next.

@trxshnumb Hi, multiple issues have been fixed though I need to verify. Would you like to try if v0.2.4 fixed video freezing issue?
Yes, I would.

@trxshnumb It should be available for download on GitHub or via homebrew channel.
hey, its just showing black screen now after connecting on latest version, audio is working fine but the screen is black,
on old version everything works good except for that lag/freeze.

In v0.2.4 the stream will connect then the video will immediately freeze. input and sound continue to funciton.
In v0.2.5 the stream will instantly disconnect (with the disconnected error message). If I attempt to connect again the app will crash and go to the home screen.
@sheaffe In actions page, there are snapshot in each run. Would you like to try some newest snapshots?

Snapshot in 8ffa6fb had same instant disconnect issue. Snapshot in 2a11aed was able to connect and stream for about 10-30 seconds before the video froze. Input and sound continued. Same as the original error in 0.2.2 release.
Jumping in on this one as I have this issue now.
Issue Summary
Start stream, looks great, after about 30 seconds the image will be frozen. Sound still goes through.

Checking if I am sending image data still
So I looked a little in wireshark to see if it seemed like I was still sending image data and I would absolutely say I do. When frozen I can move something around on the screen to increase the length and amount of packets sent. I assume it saves by sending less when less is changing on screen :)
Looking for some logs maybe
So I looked around into /var/log/ and saw 3 files that got updated when I connected. Tailed vcpu1 and watched on my lgtv when the image froze and marked where that was. The only difference I see in rtd_vcpu1.log is it stops logging:
[00001238.255856](VCPU1):06952ac5|[VDEC]` [33]:H264_DEC: bitstream underflow in S0 (fullness: S0=616924152 S1=0)
In rtd_logfile.log it stops logging

acpu is unaffected, seems to be sound stuff
This is just snippets of the log that I believe were relevant. rtd_acpu1.log rtd_logfile.log rtd_vcpu1.log
@Micadurp Very interesting find! This indicates vdec encountered unrecovered errors. I'll try to find the reason.
same issue for me, Version: 0.2.8, System: webOS 4.3.0 (HE_DTV_W180_AFABABAA). Host is on Windows 10, 1080ti, 2560 x 1440. It just randomly freezes during the play. Often I still have sound and controller inputs are working, but video shows only 1 stuck frame. Switching to the other app and back to ihsplay then clicking start streaming works, but really annoying.
Same problem for me...installed today ...image freeze but sound and input work
I've installed today and the same problem happened. The image freezes and then it disconnects...
i have the same issue with 0.2.8, i remember in previous version it worked fine, just somotimes it frozen but now it every time like 2 or 5 minutes. Srry for the bad english. I love te project!!
@artem-vavilov Hi, please consider using https://github.com/mariotaku/moonlight-tv instead. This project is not very active recently because of many reasons. Moonlight + Sunshine has even better performance, which is at least 1 frame faster than Steam Link.
Any updates on this? Moonlight is not an option for AMD GPU's.
Sunshine will get you covered. It supports AMD/Intel GPU too.
It's happening on my TV:
Version: 0.2.9 Audio Module: alsa Video Module: ndl-webos4 System: webOS 4.10.0 (HE_DTV_W19P_AFADATAA) Device: 49UM731C0SA Firmware: 05.40.10
I could'nt find the mentioned logs here, but here it what is in my dmesg after the freezing:
https://gist.github.com/klarkc/64612d94e669b3765549a405238715de
@klarkc looks like some crash. This info is super useful and I'll take a look when I get some time.
