      Hi all,

      i'm just suggesting if anyone thought about this version change, based on the high level features integrated in the QT version of moonlight:
      Hardware accelerated video decoding on Windows, Mac, and Linux
      Supports streaming at up to 120 FPS (high refresh rate monitor recommended)
      Supports streaming at 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K, and the client PC's native screen resolution
      HDR streaming support
      7.1 surround sound audio support
      Support for both pointer capture (for games) and direct mouse control (for remote desktop)
      Support for passing system-wide keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Tab to the host
      Direct touchscreen mouse control
      HEVC support for better image quality at reduced bandwidth
      Gamepad support with force feedback for up to 4 players

      as reference here is the link:

      Thank you

      T

        In RetroPie, the moonlight-embedded variant is used and it's installable only for ARM boards (Raspberry Pi in general). While it has more features, the -qt variant might not offer many advantages for Pi users.

        Did you test it on a Pi ? Does it work better than the -embedded version ?
