I wanted to provide you with a brief update on our progress with the Orange Pi 5 and Moonlight. In the past few months, we have distributed 10 devices to our employees and colleagues, who have been using them as their main streaming devices. The overall experience has been excellent, as no significant problems have been reported. One thing we have noticed is that when operating at really high bit-rates of 120Mbps, the device appears to experience frame loss after some time. I'm uncertain whether there is some form of throttling occurring in this case. We were unable to reproduce this issue on a standard desktop.

Soon, I will be sharing several demonstrations showcasing the Orange Pi 5 in action. These demos will include streaming examples ranging from a basic 1080p stream to an impressive 4K stream at 80Mbps.

Although I have not yet tested the Moonlight-QT build on the Orange Pi 5, I plan to do so tonight.  I will be contacting amazingfate regarding the bounty. I consider this to be the best $1000 I have ever spent, and I hope it marks the beginning of a long-term relationship between Maximumsettings and the Orange Pi 5 Armbian community. The Pi 5 will provide us with  one the most affordable and superior streaming device available in the market.

Just so you know, our organization has many ideas, but we lack the internal resources to implement them. I am optimistic that we can create a situation where everyone benefits, a win-win scenario.  I am hopeful  that the approach of offering bounties for adding new features and fixing bugs will be successful within the Armbian community.

After establishing a connection to the host, you have the option to press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S. In this demonstration 60Mbps was utilized, but it is possible to achieve decent results with 40Mbps at a resolution of 1920x1080p and a frame rate of 120 FPS.

For this demo, a resolution of 1440p and a frame rate of 165fps has  been configured, utilizing an  80Mbps stream. We  typically use the CBR preset in most of our demos.

Thank you for resolving the dependency issues. Additionally, I was able to successfully display the stats overlay and the performance seems decent. You can refer to the link below for a quick demonstration. Unfortunately, I couldn't simultaneously record locally on the Orange Pi 5 and stream from the cloud, so I had to use an external camera to capture the stats overlay. I apologize for the poor video quality.

The average decoding times are slightly over 2ms, which is the best I've seen on these single board devices. However, there is still some room for improvement when compared to a decently powered PC. Please refer to the picture below for comparison. I plan to conduct further testing over the weekend with different resolutions and bitrates.  This current test was done at a  bitrate of 60Mbps with h.265.



We hope to offer more bounties in the near future to improve some of these metrics, if feasible.

There are missing dependencies, use this command to install those:
sudo apt install qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qtquick-layouts qml-module-qtquick-window2 qml-module-qtquick2
These deps are not detected by dh_shlibs. I will add them later.
