I am currently setting up moonlight game streaming from my Windows 11 PC over GeForce Experience to my retroid Pocket 3+ (Android).
Does someone here know if it is possible to deactivate the PIN when connecting from client to host? (Using it only in my own network, not over internet).
too bad… It’s asking me everytime after booting up. So I have to interact with my PC everytime. Without it I could just simply power on AC (using a smart plug) and auto log in to windows and then connect moonlight.
Oh, just leave your PC on overnight then. It’s a security thing to have to input the Pin. Also, just remote desktop into your PC, and enter the Pin that way if you absolutely want to turn your PC off overnight.
If it’s a power draw concern, it probably uses less than 40w of power at idle.
No power drain concern, just don’t like it to let electronic devices running when not needed. Already thought about RDP, maybe that’s going to be my option
I am father. The times I start my PC up in one year can be counted on two hands. I think I’m good :D But thanks for your warning, might be helpful for other people considering my solution ;)
Didn’t NVidia drop support for gamestream? To use that protocol with maintained software, iirc you need “Moonlight” on the device acting as your screen/controller, and “Sunshine” on your gaming pc.
Yes they are dropping support. OP you’ll need to install sunshine on your PC. Be advised that once you setup sunshine you’ll have to remove your previous saved connection from moonlight. But once you do you only need to authorize by pin on tht first initial connection. I use it all the time never had to re-enter the pin. Even with game stream it was only once.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

You cannot disable the Moonlight Authorization Pin. It should simply allow you to put it in and never ask for it a second time.

Power Cycling your PC will end up causing more harm than good because your putting extra stress for every startup.

Ah okay, perfect. Trying this, thank you!
