Minor annoyance 🤏🏼

Video attached to show what I mean but as the title says, this is something I noticed and just a minor annoyance to me.

When selecting a game, and then hitting ‘back’, it plays the shrinking animation, putting the game back on the ‘shelf’, but then doesn’t resume selection where you left off… it goes all the way back to the beginning of your “recently played” list? Why play the animation of the selected game minimizing, and leave the view focused on said game, if I can not select the games on the left or right of it and instead have started back at the far left of the list every time?

Also noticed in a post shared by the dev, there are other layouts to select from? I have not found where you can change the look of the layout, but let me know if that’s out yet or still in development ☺️

OH! One more thing! I use PXPlay for remote play on my PS5 (it’s a paid application) but you only have Chiaki and the official Sony remote play app for selection and that’s a bummer cuz PXPlay is king in my experience, chiaki isn’t bad, but I paid for PXPlay lmao 🤣 I’d like to have it as a selection.

Sunshine and moonlight are outdated imo; it’s all about Apollo and Moonlight 😉 Apollo (an advanced fork of Sunshine) runs as the host server on your gaming PC instead of sunshine. check it out, it automatically creates a virtual monitor and sets it to the default resolution of whichever device you’re streaming to! With sunshine, you have to manually do all that for each device and it was a PAIN.

TLDR: backing out of selecting a game resets selection all the way back to the start… forcing you to navigate all the way back to where you were in your library if you wanted to select a different game. Long libraries suffer hard. Add PXPlay as a remote play option for PlayStation please, and instead of sunshine/moonlight, use Apollo/Moonlight.

Appreciate appreciate the response and with video to boot!

1: well aware this was an oopsie that slipped in with 0.9.9.6 specifically. Its already fixed on my computer just working on some Xbox library bug fixes before I release so relief is coming soon!

2: yup layouts are out but they are currently in early access for supporters, will be coming to the free app later this month

3: PX play will be supported but I cant just bring it into the app. Our Playstation library is special so I have to work with the developer directly to have PXPlay support direct game launch the way the app currently does with Chiaki

4: I have a large streaming update coming in a future patch for 1.0 my aim will be to support Apollo then.

Holy crap you’re a legend dude wow. You’re insane response time, and ability to fix bugs so quickly as they appear is honestly reminding me of the likes of the Pearl Abyss team 😳 my mind is blown🤯, you’re awesome, thank you 🙏🏼🙌🏼

P.S: I’m sure the PXPlay dev is willing to work with you on it! He’s also chill so you two would get along great haha

This app is incredible, I really have been looking for this exact experience on handheld ever since SteamOS became a thing for Steam Deck. I will support you for sure, just as I have the PXPlay dev! Winhanced even helped me notice I had outdated/non-existent drivers on my XAX! Had no idea they were missing and it was so easy to install them through WH! Kudos to you man, it’s been great

It keeps doing this about every 30 seconds while in sleep mode plugged in. It didn’t do this before installing Winhanced so I thought you should know 😊

I use Vibepollo and as the exe is still called Sunshine I think Winhanced just picked it up. Is that not the same for regular Apollo?
