RamazanKara/nightjar v3.0.0 on GitHub

Nightjar 3.0, for PCs running Rubylight 3.0.
It also works with Sunshine, Apollo and Vibepollo, and with other Moonlight-compatible hosts.

What you need. Home, a game's page, the Session and graphics menu and the Radeon panel use Rubylight's native API, so they need a Rubylight 3.0 host (the Radeon panel needs 3.0.0-alpha.2 or newer). Beam racing needs a Rubylight 3.0 host too, because it asks the host for PyroWave row order. Everything else works with the hosts you already use, and Sunshine, Apollo and Vibepollo keep the classic PC and game grid. Nightjar 0.8.0 offers this update in the app.

What's new

The console UI

Home. Favourites, Continue playing, a Library across your PCs and your PCs, with a shell bar (Home, PCs, Settings) under the top bar. A newly paired Rubylight 3.0 PC lands on Home.
PCs. The Hosts list is now PCs. Each PC has one options list: Open library or Pair, Resume, Quit, Wake, PC settings, Rename (a name kept on this device), Unpair and Remove PC. A failed pairing, unpair or wake says why.
Settings shell. Two panes on a TV and on wide screens, a Search settings row, and one focus rule on every sub-page. New under App: interface size, high contrast and reduce motion.
Game page. Pick a game to see the PC, the stream settings it will use and where they come from, then Play or Resume. Per-game presets (Competitive, Smoothness, Quality) set only the values they name.

On-screen PC keyboard

A full PC keyboard over the stream for keys a phone lacks (F-keys, Ctrl combinations, Win). Open it from the stream menu, with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+K, or with a three or four finger tap. It works with touch, controller and remote, and has US and German layouts, a size and an opacity.

Rust engine as default

The new streaming engine is on by default, PyroWave and remote monitor sessions included. Turn it off in Settings > Advanced > Diagnostics to use the classic engine. If you had it off, it is switched on once; turning it off again is kept. It now reports the same round trip time as the classic engine and fills the clock columns of the latency CSV.

Decoder flags

Decoder tuning keys from Artemis and moonlight-noir: Tegra and MediaTek keys, low-latency on every Android version, Snapdragon frame-drop.enable, and more reference frame invalidation entries. A decoder that rejects configure() gets the next try with fewer keys, and the applied and dropped keys are in the log and the problem report. Comparison.
MediaTek, NVIDIA Tegra and Amlogic changes are Experimental: they follow the forks and are covered by unit tests, but we have no such device.

Link, timing and PyroWave

Link-rate notices. Android sends the wired link speed for every codec, and with the Rust engine the overlay says when the host lowered the bitrate for the network.
Timing record. The latency CSV carries the host's timing record (nine columns) and the present scheduler's columns, so a run joins to the host's record. Automatic bitrate has a minimum and a maximum and cuts for loss and a growing queue, not for jitter bitrate does not cause.
Stream presets. Competitive, Smoothness and Quality per game, as above.
PyroWave. Runs on the Rust engine on Android, carries HDR through the window dataspace on Android 13 and 14, and decodes on the GPU on the desktop client (default on Windows and Linux). Early decode (off by default) decodes PyroWave blocks while a frame is still arriving.

Desktop client for Windows and Linux (Experimental)

The same engine on the desktop with hardware decoding, VRR pacing, audio, keyboard, mouse and controllers, Home, PCs and Settings, the Session and graphics page and Radeon panel, German and a UI zoom. Downloads: nightjar-desktop-3.0.0-windows-x86_64.zip and nightjar-desktop-3.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz. The desktop client is Experimental and its packages are not signed.

Beam racing (opt-in, desktop)

Decodes a PyroWave picture in slices while the rest of it is still arriving, and draws the top before the bottom has left the network. Off by default (beam_race), labelled Experimental, and it needs a Rubylight 3.0 host. It missed its default-on gate on loopback, so nothing recommends it yet. Beam racing.

Fixes

#21: when this device's decoder rejects the stream, the message now says so instead of blaming the host.
#20: automatic bitrate minimum and maximum, and fixes to when it cuts and how fast it steps back.
#15: the audio report shows the output route, the native rate and dropped buffers.
#17 and #19: OpenGL rendering for frame-generation overlays, and negative stick deadzone values.
Input: a pad's D-pad moves menu focus and the PC keyboard once; a lone modifier tap is broken when a Ctrl+Alt+Shift shortcut fires.
A 3.0 alpha, beta or rc host version parses in the host capabilities, so its PyroWave records and timing are used.
Host processing counts on every path and keeps its own label (the frame header's value, as in Artemis).

Tested. Our own runs, on our hardware:

Rust engine against the classic engine, Retroid Pocket 6, Wi-Fi (about -41 dBm), isolated Rubylight host on an RX 7900 XT. HEVC 1080p60 at 40 Mbps, four 75 s runs per engine: median picture age 7.04 ms (classic) and 6.92 ms (Rust), decode 0.92 ms on both. PyroWave 1080p60 at 400 Mbps, one run each: 36.19 and 34.99 ms. At 1% and 5% injected loss neither showed corruption. A 30 minute Rust soak held about 59.3 fps with flat memory and no errors.
Decoder keys, Retroid Pocket 6 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2). HEVC 1080p60 through c2.qti.hevc.decoder.low_latency, about 88 s per run: median decode 1.49 ms before and 1.43 ms with every key ported. We do not claim a gain. picture-order.enable = 0 was left out because that decoder accepted it and then produced no output.
GPU PyroWave decode, desktop client, loopback on the RX 7900 XT. Median receive to present at 1080p60, 133 Mbps: 20.53 ms on the CPU decoder, 8.80 ms on the GPU decoder. At 4K60, 167 Mbps the CPU decoder showed 32.6 fps and the GPU decoder 60.1. On the Linux NUC (Core i5-8259U, 1 GbE, offscreen window with no real display) at 1080p60, 133 Mbps: 23.73 ms and 13.45 ms.
Beam racing, loopback on the RX 7900 XT, 5120x1440 at 240 Hz, 1080p60 PyroWave at 399 Mbps. The first of four slices is decoded 1.65 ms after the frame's first packet; a whole frame takes 6.5 ms on the wire. The picture's middle row is 5.32 ms old without racing and 3.93 ms with it. The 95th percentile gains little, and at a higher pace receive to present got worse. The wired NUC runs have not been done.
The PCs and Settings screens were checked by D-pad on an Android 14 TV emulator, normal and high contrast, and the update check has unit tests for 3.0.0 against 0.8.0.

The standard and root APKs and the Android App Bundle are signed with the Nightjar release key. The desktop packages (Windows zip, Linux tar.gz) are not signed. SHA-256 hashes of everything are in SHA256SUMS-3.0.0.txt.
