Remote play is already semi-broken on stable. In the sense that the video renders super dark unless you disable hardware decoding.

The beta and preview channels are even worse. The remote play session will just never load at all.

It seems like this is slipping through the cracks. I'm making this post to raise some awareness on the issue. Not sure what we can really do though.

Edit: God damn it valve.

Use sunshine plus moonlight, it's a much better solution. You can make it even better on deck with Moondeck plugin.

I've had issues with remote play for years and it never gets any better nor do they really add any new features to it.

So its not just me? My deck hard resets trying to stream to my HTPC, and has been for a while now, can't tell if its their software causing the crash, or I have a hardware issue and need to RMA

Definitely not just you. Steam remote play just displays a green screen for me whenever I connect. I can't get it to work without compromising quality.
