ps800 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hi all, First time poster, long time reader, and I have been really enjoying Launchbox. I have Launchbox running on a desktop PC in an office, but I would like to stream launchbox to my TV in my living room. I have researched this a lot to the point of confusion, so I am looking for opinions as to the best approach going forward. Below are the options I am contemplating: 1. HDMI/USB extension over CAT5/CAT6 - seems like a good but spendy option, with limited feedback on success. monoprice has a decent option that also extends USB: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=34898&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqdnEjti45QIV2CCtBh2WZgM7EAQYASABEgIw0_D_BwE 2. Stream via Steam - could utilize a steam link or raspberry PI (don't have but could get), or shield TV/android TV, but I'm unsure of latency and performance. I was really hopeful that LB for android would let me stream to my TV, but I unfortunately have a google pixel 3 and I can only mirror via a chromecast, and I cant even hard-wire mirror as they have it locked down. Any other ideas the group has I would be open to hearing. Thank you in advance for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Not sure how far you need to go, but I use a 30' HDMI cable I got from monoprice years ago. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps800 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 I thought about a long HDMI cord, but my TV is two rooms away from my PC, and has a jog in the wall and a staircase in between. I also have a vaulted ceiling which makes going overhead tough. I actually just tried parsec streamed to a Microsoft surface connected to my TV and the lack of latency was surprising. I will probably test this some more and then possibly get a raspberry pi for dedicated streaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoemorn Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Stream to nvidia shield TV? Stream to android or iOS Sorry if I totally missed what you are trying to do, when you said stream launchbox I recalled seeing these videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
