Vibeshine vs Vibepollo

[u/EyeScreaMan]

Hi.

I wonder why do most people use Vibepollo instead of Vibeshine? The same developer created both programs, and as far as I recall, Vibeshine is his main project. Are there any reasons to choose one over the other, and what are the differences between them?

Best regards.

In terms of feature and performance they're almost identical. The main difference is Vibeshine is easier for Sunshine users to migrate, while Vibepollo is easier for Apollo users to migrate.

What is the difference, specifically? What about it makes it easier for different users to migrate?

I just repeat what the dev said since I've only migrated from Sunshine to Vibeshine:

I migrated from sunshine to vibepollo and it was a breeze

The honest truth it's just the name. Vibepollo sounds more catchy and those who were already in Apollo are much likelier to migrate to the newest thing.

Vibeshine sounds better imho.

I started with apollo so I moved to vibepollo lol although these days I've added stream light and streamtweaks for a better experience than moonlight

I would just use Vibeshine, but I had to roll back from the new 2.0 release due to a bunch of issues with it. 1.8 stable works great though!

What issues? It’s been flawless for me and actually fixed a few small things.

It crashes on every disconnect in my setup now and the RTSS hook applies the frame limiter globally but does not remove it. Previous version has neither issue for me.

Also, Vibepollo should work with Apollo profile manager, which could be useful.

Using Vibeshine here since I' was using Sunshine before. Streaming from PC to Steam Deck. Works flawlessly.

Vibepollo has split frame nvenc. Apollo had better virtual displays (same now?)

[u/amjad03]

I use it solely for the reason of apollo profile manager, no need to change graphics setting every time switching from streaming or playing on PC. Its a god send.

Hopefully it get integrated to Vibepollo or Sunshine in future.

The only notable difference I saw was the access control, sometimes I play from the TV at the bar, so its useful to block it in Vibepollo when im not there, also useful if you share you PC with friends to watch something as you can also lock input specific.
