(Which makes perfect sense because that means it blocks except for the allowed list). It turns out I had to go into Windows firewall and change Inbound Connections to Block (Default) instead of Block All Connections. I was pretty sure everything had been enabled for the firewall since it was making some connection, but it was like additional ports were being opened and not always accessible. They would connect and show a black screen and the cursor would move, or would only connect enough to show the widgets for the video card. At first, the AMD Link was working on my iPad but only partially on my iPhone or Androids. There are a few old threads with similar reports but they lack a clear solution. where Steam In-home streaming just works.I just wanted to share this because I did a lot of digging and couldn't find this solution anywhere. ![]() Mind you, this is the same PC, same Shield TV, same network etc. Apparently there is some "auto discover" setting somewhere but if it actually exists, AMD certainly didn't but it in any place you expect it to be like maybe the AMD link or ReLive game streaming menu. Turned off Windows firewall and everything. No matter what you do, it won't find your PC. At least I got a good workout running up and down the stairs.Īfter finding a game that doesn't have any of that, the game launched by the app doesn't do anything other than showing a black screen and a controller overlay and after a couple of seconds it will just conk out without any error or warning.īack to the Android TV app. You know how some games have this menu where you can change some settings before the game launched or how Steam sometimes gives you update news or requires you to agree to the EULA? AMD couldn't be arsed to built in some checks to get around this so basically any game that has that type of menu will not launch from the app. Okay, game launched on PC, smartphone shows a controller overlay. So basically you have to enable the same thing twice in two different menus because I don't see how they are different. You need to enable remote play AND AMD Live. so you thought AMD Live was there to stream your games? You guessed wrong. This is just shitty design.Īlright so you install ReLive, at least that is a plainless procedure. Except there is no mention anywhere, not on the driver dashboard or the Android TV app that ReLive is required. Okay, that will connect if you scan the QR code. ![]() Maybe its something with the app so lets install the Android phone app. It will not be able to find a PC running AMD Link. It already starts after you install the app on a Android TV device. Well, some of you will be happy to know that you too can be AMD's lead software engineer because writing software that actually works does not seem to be a job requirement. The only big downside is rumble doesn't work when connecting a controller wireless. The whole thing is painless and just works. You just install the app, enable the streaming setting on your PC and off you go. The other day I read AMD released AMD Link (their version of Steam In-home steaming) for Android TV devices and as I've been playing around with Steam In-home streaming lately to see if it is a viable way to play games in the living room (PC is upstairs, man cave room will not be finished for some time) I thought I'd give AMD Link a go. ![]()
