Since a few days (maybe weeks, i just don't used it) my remote play from my steam deck to my linux machine (inhouse) isn't working anymore. l just get a loading screen, the sound from my host is playing but the screen stays black or the loading screen is loading to all eternity. Does someone also have this kind of problem?If someone fixed this kind of problem please let me know. Thanks for your help :)

FWIW I usually use Moonlight and Sunshine for game streaming. It usually works best for me and works with other apps and non-Steam games as well.

I did use Remote Play for a few minutes a few days ago and then it seemed to work.

It does seem to get "stuck" for me fairly often, so i have to manually restart steam on the host. I just ssh in and run a script i made

pkill -9 steam

DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/steam -tenfoot

Also last time i tried to use wayland i was no longer able to use steamlink. Its been a while since i tried so hopefully that is fixed.
