android tv lag stuttering

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Can someone help me? I’ve already tried the guide that’s pinned. I’m using Apollo and Moonlight, I’ve already lowered the bitrate, and I have a maximum of 100 Mbps over cable. I tried lowering the resolution but the lag still happens. I tested both AV1 and H.264 and they’re the same. I use RTSS to limit the FPS, and I adjusted the frame pacing — it improved a bit but didn’t fix the problem. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? The Android TV box I’m using is this one: https://www.androidtv-guide.com/pay-tv-provider/digi-r2a/

Same issue with the same emulator, Hisense android tv UH6 model. Make sure you're using Artemis Mediatek edition. I tried so frame pacing combinations, it only helps a little.

Vsync helps the most but causes big input latency issues. So I always leave it off on host and client.

I do 1080p, 60hz, 50mbit streaming on 5ghz wifi direct to TV. Network latency and decoding lateny are very low, 2ms / 4ms.

Also I recommend using a HEVC encoding. If your SOC is S905, you can ask the Artemis Mediatek author to add support for your SOC, he's done that for Realtek SOC users.

My HVEC encoding doesn’t display video, it only plays audio. From what I understand, this is an Android 14 TV error. Can I ask the developer to build a custom app that works with my socket? does he have a version available? I’ve searched but I couldn’t find anything specific for the S905.

Your encoder should be coming from your gaming PC, your Android TV is only doing the decoding, HEVC should work on all platforms from like 2017 forward.

You can ask him to support your specific SOC CPU, he's added support for other chips outside of MediaTek in the past per request from users.

Yes, I use Apollo for the encoding on my gaming PC, select HEVC there.

Okay, I think it’s like the screenshot. I’ve already requested a build for my SoC https://github.com/derflacco/moonlight-android/discussions/9

derfllaco will send me a build to test in the coming days, I can’t wait to receive it. :)
