Implements the approved OpenNOW design in production Borealis views for Library, Store, game detail, Settings, queue and stream status. Runtime data and actions come from the existing GFN client; there is no demo catalog or simulated streaming state.

Presentation and controls

Bundle licensed static Nunito 500/600/700/800, IBM Plex Mono 500 and a Simplified Chinese fallback. Attach Switch shared-font fallbacks directly to every face and initialize the theme before application labels. Use the authentic OpenNOW mark, green theme and one 76/60-pixel header/footer shell.

Library uses bounded 15-row pages, previous/next navigation, identity-based cover preview and strict UTC history grouping. Store retains real search, filters, sorting and cursor paging with 220×210 cards, 25-pixel gaps and left-aligned partial rows. Keep native controller, tap, IME and scrolling paths.

Game detail preserves store selection, launcher preferences, shortcuts, NTE and deferred account-generation guards. Settings retains all categories/actions, precise off-step bitrate values, focused help, atomic Save/Revert and reminder-only dirty tracking. Retained shell tabs and Library captions refresh after an actual interface-language save without extra requests. Server selection and latency tests remain explicit instead of probing on category entry.

Queue and stream ownership

Use a fullscreen QueueActivity with minimize/restore/cancel, unknown/error/patch/ad states, one reminder and adopted-session cleanup. A covering dialog is never popped by queue completion; handoff runs once and the obsolete queue removes itself on resume. Preserve stream-focus screen-dimming ownership.

Capture saved StreamSettings at launch and pass that snapshot through StartSession, handoff, StreamView, WebRTC, decoder and renderer. Independently saved next-stream changes stay untouched. Render the overlay from cached UI-thread samples with honest unknown values, fractional p95 metrics and queue high-water labels.

Input report formats, bounded decoder queues, resynchronization, TLS verification, persisted names and release version are unchanged. No latency or FPS improvement is claimed.

Clipping follow-up

The earlier visual-readiness claim is withdrawn. Commit 3689244 fixes the defects visible in those captures:

  • Size Library toolbar captions from actual bundled-font measurements and put the heading on its own row. Empty ActionRow values no longer reserve a phantom gap.
  • Use stable ellipses for overflowing game titles instead of focused scissored marquees.
  • Hide content-overlapping scrollbars and inset focus borders. Store keeps the exact 220×210 cards, 245-pixel spacing and 1200-pixel rows.
  • Fade the bottom of Library/Store scrolling content, use a display-sized logo derivative and stop exposing fragments of a fourth description line.

Verification

  • The new rendered-text checks reproduce the old defects: 34 Library, 10 Store and 61 Settings failures. They observe actual NanoVG draw anchors/ink, complete fixed captions, row padding, scroll-view clearance and stable title framebuffer pixels, while preserving the previous assertions.
  • The strengthened final3 matrix passed all 104 cases on published e380f27, with zero assertions. The final fully instrumented native ASan/UBSan Library, Detail and Queue runs passed without sanitizer diagnostics. Source/test/binary manifests match. Fresh English, Chinese-1920 and critical Spanish/Ukrainian captures were checked at full size and crop level; complete focus borders, static title ellipses, complete fixed captions and the clean three-line description viewport are confirmed. All three GitHub CI checks also passed on e380f27. This PR stays draft for hardware acceptance.
  • The final clipping-source Switch build passes, with 51 exact embedded resources including both logo sizes. Static font weights, licenses and direct bundled fallback coverage of 265 UI codepoints pass. The small logo reproduces byte-identically.
  • The earlier full implementation host suite passed 135 checks normally and 135 with ASan/UBSan. Direct Deko3D quality/reconfiguration/color-range checks passed. This clipping follow-up does not change those streaming implementations.

Queue-only number cards

Commit 7450cb6 shows the number cards and position heading only during the queue phase with a known position. Account checks, allocation without a position, setup, connection, ready, unknown position and failure states show plain status text without reserving the counter's space. Patching remains a setup state even if NVIDIA also reports queued status.

The new native regression failed in five non-queue/unknown/failure cases before the fix. English-1280 and Chinese-1920 queue runs now pass, including existing cancellation, restore, account guards and covered-dialog handoff checks. The native ASan/UBSan queue run and host queue-ownership test pass. The final Switch build and all 51 embedded-resource checks pass. All three CI checks passed on 7450cb6.

Stream-recovery and direct requests

Remove the Zortos community-proxy option and provisioning action. All catalog/library, CloudMatch session and network-test requests now omit the proxy. Legacy primary and backup settings are disabled/cleared on load and save without resetting unrelated preferences.

The following defects were reproduced locally and fixed after tracing the shutdown paths and comparing the Android-native reference at 9e0dd867:

  • Advertise the actual bounded 64 KiB SCTP receive limit instead of 256 KiB. A message allowed by the previous advertisement could exceed the receiver limit and close the association.
  • Let freshly received video override a negative advisory OS network sample for up to three seconds. Explicit peer termination and existing media deadlines remain unchanged.
  • Count valid decoded output even when a later step of the same submission fails. Preserve the negative result for error accounting and IDR recovery.
  • Stop using a paused audio clock to schedule video. During audio underrun/re-priming, use the existing newest-frame fallback, then resume synchronization when playback starts. The real audio-worker/video-queue test changes from 180 held frames and 177 overflow drops to 180 presented frames and zero holds/drops.

Add opt-in end/exit/destruction records with fixed event names, elapsed time, connectivity and media counters. No account/session identifiers, URLs, SDP or credentials are recorded by these new events. No speculative Deko cache or input-handshake changes were made.

Streaming fixes verified on hardware

  • SCTP setup: diagnostic logging no longer overwrites errno during the nonblocking connect, so the data channel association no longer fails at startup.
  • SCTP checksum: under newlib strict C99, usrsctp's CRC32c treated BYTE_ORDER as undefined and byte-swapped every checksum. The server never answered INIT, and sessions dropped after about 8 s. The fix uses __BYTE_ORDER__ and fails the build if neither macro is defined. A regression test reproduces the bad checksum.
  • ICE consent: an authenticated STUN consent check now runs every 2.5 s on the selected pair.
  • Hardware decoding: the H.264 decoder is now found by codec ID, so FFmpeg uses the NVTEGRA hwaccel. Decode p95 drops from about 16 ms in software to 4 ms. The overlay reports NVDEC-NVTEGRA/Deko3D-zero-copy.
  • Bitrate and blur: the answer now echoes transport-cc and the transport-wide sequence extension, and libpeer sends RTCP transport feedback every 50 ms. Without that feedback, the server's bandwidth estimator stayed near 3.5 Mbps and the picture blurred about once a second. Server-side resolution adaptation is also off, and the initial bitrate now equals the requested bitrate.
  • README: recommends overclocking. At stock clocks the stream runs at 45–50 FPS.

Verification

146 host checks and 94 streaming checks pass, both normally and under ASan/UBSan. A new transport-cc test round-trips feedback through an independent parser and covers loss, reordering, wraparound, large gaps and bounded history. The Switch NRO builds and embeds all 51 resources. On hardware the owner confirmed the stream is fully stable. Refs #36; its hardware input acceptance remains open.

📝 Walkthrough

This pull request updates native application screens and queue handling. It adds stream-overlay and lifecycle diagnostics, changes media and ICE behavior, removes community proxy support, and expands host and production UI tests.

Changes: Application UI and launch flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared theme and UI components
app/src/ui_theme.*, app/src/top_bar_frame.*, app/src/game_browser_header.cpp, app/src/game_card_view.*, app/src/main.cpp, app/src/localization.cpp, resources/font/*, scripts/build-ui-*
Adds shared theme colors, fonts, styled labels, action rows, and stream-summary components. Updates shell and game-card styling, initializes bundled fonts, and adds font and logo asset tooling and licenses.
Catalog, detail, and library screens
app/src/catalog_tab.*, app/src/game_detail_view.*, app/src/library_row_view.*, app/src/library_tab.*, app/src/library_timetable_policy.hpp
Updates catalog localization and stale-session checks. Rebuilds game detail and the library around cover art, action rows, identity-based selection, paged rows, and a selected-game preview. Adds last-played timestamp bucketing.
Settings and queue flow
app/src/settings_tab.*, app/src/settings_tab_pages.cpp, app/src/queue_view.*, app/src/ui_helpers.cpp, app/src/cloud_launch_internal.hpp, app/src/stream_launch.cpp
Settings gain focus-driven help, bitrate details, next-stream summaries, and a diagnostics toggle. Queue progress moves to an activity with stage and position state, then hands off stream presentation through PresentCloudStream.
Production UI tests and asset support
tests/ui_layout/*, tests/ui_font_assets_test.py, .github/workflows/host-tests.yml, scripts/test-host.sh, resources/font/*, scripts/verify-nro-assets.py
Expands UI verification to production screens, fonts, input, localization, launch, queue, and overlay behavior. Adds fixture support, configurable scenarios, font checks, asset generation and verification, and accumulated failure reporting.
Community proxy retirement
app/src/settings_tab_actions.cpp, app/src/settings_tab_pages.cpp, app/src/settings_tab.hpp, app/src/stream_settings.*, app/src/gfn/community_proxy.cpp, app/src/gfn_client.hpp, app/src/gfn/catalog.cpp, app/src/gfn/cloud_session*
Removes proxy controls and provisioning. Settings sanitization clears legacy proxy values, and catalog, library, cloud-session, and network-test requests no longer receive proxy URLs.

Streaming and peer behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Settings and media pipeline
app/src/StreamView.*, app/src/gfn_client.hpp, app/src/stream/audio/*, app/src/stream/deko3d/*, app/src/stream/ffmpeg/*, app/src/webrtc/*
Passes stream settings and image-quality mode through stream, WebRTC, renderer, and decoder construction. Decoded-frame accounting uses output-count changes; video timing requires active audio playback.
Overlay and stream lifecycle
app/src/stream_overlay_view.*, app/src/stream_view_overlay.cpp, app/src/stream_end_policy.hpp
Adds a stream overlay for connection and performance metrics. Lifecycle events record stream state, and stream-end detection considers recent video activity when deriving network connectivity.
Peer diagnostics and ICE consent
extern/libpeer/src/peer_connection.*, extern/libpeer/src/sctp.*, extern/libpeer/src/agent.*, extern/libpeer/src/config.h, extern/libpeer/src/sdp.c
Routes peer and SCTP diagnostics through callbacks and adds SCTP setup-stage details. Adds scheduled ICE consent requests and uses the SCTP message-size constant in SDP.
Host and integration tests
tests/*, scripts/test-streaming-host.sh
Adds coverage for audio underruns, decoder output accounting, renderer quality, network evidence, peer and SCTP diagnostics, consent requests, CRC32C, and SDP message limits. Updates test runners for the added cases.

Priority: ⬆️ High

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f791b

The stream overlay may show mixed-language text, and a host test may fail to compile on some toolchains. Both are minor. Hardware acceptance on a Switch is still outstanding, and the reported session crash should be triaged before shipping.

Fresh native framebuffer captures from the final production-view harness. Game/account data, cover placeholders and overlay samples are test-only external fixtures, not a logged-in NVIDIA or Switch gameplay session. I inspected the fonts, spacing, focus treatment and the corrected overlay right edge.

Visual readiness is withdrawn. The delivered screenshots show clipped Library toolbar text, moving partial game titles and Settings values/focus competing with the scrollbar. The previous native assertions checked view rectangles and stored text, not full rendered-caption fit or scrollbar/highlight clearance, so their green result missed these defects. This PR stays draft; the attached cc916b0 NRO is a preview and will be replaced after focused clipping regressions, corrected native captures and a new Switch build.

@zortos293 @capy-ai Confirming the visual regressions noted by capy-ai are critical, but there is a second, fatal blocker preventing this PR from merging even after visual fixes.

As documented in my hardware testing feedback ([Link to Issue/Comment]), the current session handoff implementation crashes at Seat Setup Step 3 (errorCode: 1) on real modded Switch hardware. This causes an infinite main loop restart (boot.log spam) before the streaming subsystem initializes.

Current Status:

  • ❌ Visual: Clipped text/focus competition (Identified by capy-ai).
  • ❌ Runtime: Session handoff crash blocks all live UI interaction (Identified by hardware QA).

Recommendation: Hold merge until both the visual clipping AND the session lifecycle crash (Issue #36) are resolved. Static framebuffer tests cannot validate the session handoff stability required for real-world usage.

I read Update 4 and the attached logs from #36. This PR stays draft, and I'm not treating the native fixture tests as hardware acceptance.

The logs don't yet establish the claimed cause. The session snapshot has requestStatus.statusCode=1, SUCCESS_STATUS, unifiedErrorCode=0 and session status 2. The current client does not abort based on session.errorCode=1; its API rejection branch checks the request status. The boot file records 27 main entries and 20 ordinary main loop exited markers, with no timestamps, exception marker or handoff marker. That can document repeated launches, but it cannot distinguish a crash, an applet exit or manual relaunches, or tie an exit to that session snapshot.

Please provide the exact tested commit/NRO SHA-256 and whether hbmenu was launched in album/applet mode or title override/application mode. For one fresh attempt, enable App → Debug diagnostics, save it, preserve the old logs separately and collect the new boot.log, session_trace.log, log.txt, and any signaling.log/stream_trace.log that are created. Include whether the app returns to hbmenu or restarts without input. Keep credentials/tokens out of the upload. I'll use that to trace the actual exit rather than add a speculative session guard.

@zortos293 Fair enough - I got too structured there.

What I'm seeing on my modded Switch isn't a log analysis issue though. The app literally crashes at Seat Setup Step 3 every single time I try to launch it. It's not a UI glitch or a focus issue - the whole session handoff dies before the stream even starts, which is why capy-ai's screenshots look fine but the actual app is unusable.

I can't give you session_trace.log because the crash happens before that subsystem even initializes. The infinite restart loop in boot.log is the only evidence I have, but it's real hardware behavior, not a static test artifact.

I'm not disputing the crash you're seeing, and the clipping changes don't claim to fix it. We still need to locate where it exits.

session_trace.log is the CloudMatch request log, not the video subsystem log. With debug diagnostics enabled and saved before launching, it starts before the session-start POST, so it can capture the path before streaming initializes. Please try that once in title override/application mode and include the tested NRO checksum. If the file still isn't created, say so; that's useful evidence too. The PR stays draft.

No agent here - just me testing on real hardware and getting frustrated when CI passes but the app bricks on launch.

I tend to over-structure my notes when I'm deep in debugging mode so I don't miss details, which probably reads robotic. Sorry about that. Just trying to make sure we catch the lifecycle crash before shipping.

Yeah fair - you're the one shipping it, so I'll defer to your judgment on timing.

Just wanted to flag what my Switch does at Seat Setup Step 3 so it's not a surprise if users hit it post-merge. Happy to stay out of the PR flow unless you want more logs or a video repro.

A short video repro on #36 would help. Please show the launch mode, the setup screen and what happens immediately after it exits, and include the tested NRO checksum. Hide account details. That will help distinguish a return to hbmenu from an automatic relaunch; the UI fixes don't resolve or dismiss the hardware report.

Corrected final3 native evidence on e380f27: all 104 cases and final native Library/Detail/Queue ASan/UBSan runs passed. These captures supersede the earlier clipped images. The data, cover placeholders and overlay metrics are external test fixtures, not a live NVIDIA or Switch gameplay session. Long game/account names retain intentional ellipses. Hardware report #36 remains unresolved, so this is a UI-test build and the PR stays draft.

Number cards are now queue-only in 7450cb6. Setup, connection, ready, unknown position and error states use plain status text; hidden cards and their heading no longer leave a blank 170 px block. Native queue regressions pass at 1280/English and 1920/Chinese, with a clean native sanitizer run and a complete Switch build. These screenshots use test fixtures, not a live NVIDIA session.

The latest user-provided files confirm successful rig allocation but have stream diagnostics disabled, so they do not establish the cause of the 2–3-second failure. I traced the code and compared Android-native, then fixed four locally reproduced defects: the SDP/receiver message-size mismatch, fresh-video termination on a negative OS network sample, lost decoded-frame accounting after a later decode error, and video stalling on an underrun-stopped audio clock. No speculative input-handshake or Deko cache patch was added.

All 140 host checks pass normally and under ASan/UBSan on aec68ff; the real-usrsctp reliability suite and full Switch build pass too. Hardware confirmation is still required. New opt-in lifecycle records should distinguish any remaining end reason.

The Zortos community proxy is also removed, including routing for old enabled settings. Native Settings capture with test fixtures:

The latest diagnostic-enabled hardware attempt is now explained by a reproduced SCTP setup bug, fixed in e26b66d: logging to the obsolete directory overwrote the expected EINPROGRESS from nonblocking connect with ENOENT, so the client aborted its own valid connection attempt. The original host path and original compiled Switch objects reproduce the failure; preserving errno makes setup succeed.

Diagnostics now preserve errno, use the application’s bounded writer/current log path, and record the exact setup step on failure. All 91 streaming/transport checks pass normally and under ASan/UBSan; the full Switch NRO builds. This does not yet constitute a physical-Switch gameplay pass. The earlier separately reproduced audio/network/decoder issues remain distinct from this pre-media failure.

Translate the static overlay labels.

FormatStreamOverlay passes the connection state and the "Unknown"/"Auto" fallbacks through Tr. The draw code does not translate its static strings. These strings include metric_labels, the metric captions on Line 146, "Stream details", "Controller shortcuts", detail_labels, actions, the Wi-Fi warning, and the footer. In a non-English language, the overlay shows translated values under English labels. The network strings set in stream_view_overlay.cpp Lines 358-363 ("Disconnected", "Ethernet") also bypass Tr.

To fix this, wrap each displayed literal in Tr(...) at draw time. Use Tr(...).c_str() because the text lambda takes a const char*. A draw-time call also follows a language refresh with no other change. Keep key names such as "B" and "L + X" as they are if they are intentionally language-neutral.

Example change

...
-        text(dx, dy, detail_labels[index], 14, ui::Muted());
+        text(dx, dy, Tr(detail_labels[index]).c_str(), 14, ui::Muted());

Include <initializer_list> for the braced range-for on Line 21.

Line 21 iterates over {0ms, 16ms, ...}, which deduces std::initializer_list<std::chrono::milliseconds>. The program is ill-formed if std::initializer_list is not declared. The test now depends on <chrono> including that header transitively. Clang reported this exact error. scripts/test-streaming-host.sh honors CXX and builds with -Werror, so a toolchain without that transitive include fails the host test run.

libpeer stopped sending STUN Binding requests once ICE nominated a pair,
so a connected stream sent nothing on the ICE path that refreshes the
server's consent and NAT binding. Send a non-nominating, authenticated
Binding request every 2.5 s on the selected pair, with a fresh
transaction ID each time, and record send/response counts in the
opt-in diagnostics.

47413b0 sends ICE consent checks after the stream connects.

libpeer sends STUN Binding requests only while checking the candidate pair. After DTLS completes, it sends none. Its CONFIG_KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT (10 s) branch only resets a timestamp and sends nothing. The Switch therefore never refreshed ICE consent or the NAT binding on the selected pair after connecting. OpenNOW's str0m stack keeps sending these checks after connection.

The fix sends one authenticated, non-nominating Binding request every 2.5 s on the selected pair. Each request has a fresh transaction ID and keeps the existing controlling/controlled role. Send and response counts are written only to the opt-in diagnostics.

The Windows GFN research on capy/geforce-now-windows-native informed this change. It shows a 10 s pingBackTimeoutMs with a 3 s video[0].pingBackIntervalMs and a 5 s STUN-consent period. In the observed NVIDIA config enableStunConsent was 0, so this change is an evidence-based hypothesis for the ~10 s disconnect. Hardware has not confirmed it.

Verification: the new agent_consent test checks request attributes, MESSAGE-INTEGRITY, the interval, unique transaction IDs, response/RTT accounting, send failure and reset. 92 streaming checks pass normally and under ASan/UBSan, and 144 host checks pass in both modes. The full Switch build passes and the NRO asset check passes (51 files). NRO SHA-256: a91ce917555fafb3e57c9f55e64cb91488d7b3669324c26a84c406bdcd00ab92. The PR stays in draft.

newlib does not define BYTE_ORDER under the strict C99 flags usrsctp
uses, so sctp_crc32.c's '#if BYTE_ORDER == BIG_ENDIAN' compared two
undefined macros, took the big-endian branch, and byte-swapped every
CRC32c. The Switch and the GFN server then discarded each other's SCTP
packets: the server's INIT was never answered, our INIT was never
acknowledged, and the association failed with CANT_START about 8 s
after connecting, ending the stream as a server disconnect.

Fall back to the compiler's __BYTE_ORDER__ macros and fail the build
when no byte order is available. A host test compiles the real file
without libc byte-order macros and checks known CRC32c vectors.

f2612a7 fixes the post-connect disconnect, which hardware logs confirm.

Logs. These came from the Switch over FTP after the 47413b0 build was sideloaded, with diagnostics on. ICE consent works: 3 requests sent and 6 responses received. Video was decoding, with 422 frames. But the data channel never opened (dcOpen=0 throughout). The server retransmitted the same 44-byte SCTP INIT at +1 s, +2 s, +4 s and +8 s, and every one shows rx chunk=1 connected=0. We never received an INIT-ACK or COOKIE-ECHO. At +8.25 s our association reported CANT_START, libpeer marked the peer FAILED, and the UI showed server_disconnected.

Cause. newlib does not define BYTE_ORDER under usrsctp's strict -std=c99 flags. In sctp_crc32.c, #if BYTE_ORDER == BIG_ENDIAN therefore compared two undefined macros (0 == 0) and took the big-endian branch, which byte-swaps every CRC32c. Building with the exact usrsctp Switch flags under devkitA64 confirms it: BYTE_ORDER is undefined and the big-endian path is selected. Running the compiled Switch objects under AArch64 emulation shows the old object writes e3069283 for the RFC check string, where the correct value is 839206e3. Both sides drop each other's SCTP packets as checksum failures. Host tests missed this because glibc defines BYTE_ORDER via _GNU_SOURCE. The usrsctp path has shipped with this bug since #34.

Fix. When libc doesn't provide them, define BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN from the compiler's __BYTE_ORDER__ and __ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN__, and fail the build with #error if neither is available. The new usrsctp_crc32c host test compiles the real file with libc byte-order macros removed and checks known vectors. It fails on the old file and passes on the new one.

Verification. 93 streaming checks pass normally and under ASan/UBSan, and all 145 host checks pass. The full Switch build and the NRO asset check pass (51 files). The CRC object from the actual build emulates correctly. NRO SHA-256: 14b1b26ebf2ccef7df909513c04e2722c4491cc501c3e2c8e59e9f9883dde04b. This still needs a hardware run to confirm. The PR stays draft.

Force the test to undefine the macros after usrsctp headers load.

sctp_os_userspace.h restores BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN before the fallback runs. The vector assertions therefore do not test the new compiler-macro fallback.

The Switch asked GFN for dynamicStreamingMode 3 in CloudMatch and the
NVST answer, enabled DRC, and set the client-performance resolution
control mask to 3. The official Windows client's final config and
OpenNOW's WebRTC answer use dynamicStreamingMode 0, drc.enable 0 and
cpmRtc.featureMask 0, and the official client never sends
dynamicStreamingMode to CloudMatch. With software decoding near the
frame budget, those controls let the server repeatedly lower the
stream resolution, which shows up as periodic blur.

Disable DRC and client-performance resolution changes, pin the minimum
resolution at 100%, stop requesting bandwidth-saving mode, and record
the hardware decoder setup result when NVDEC falls back to software.

aea9aa4 stops asking the server to adapt resolution and bandwidth mid-stream. This targets the periodic blur reported once the stream stayed connected.

The Switch sent dynamicStreamingMode:3 (bandwidth saving), vqos.drc.enable:1 and vqos.resControl.cpmRtc.featureMask:3. It also sent dynamicStreamingMode to CloudMatch. The official Windows client's final NVSC config uses drc.enable 0, dynamicStreamingMode 0 and cpmRtc.featureMask 0. OpenNOW's WebRTC answer also disables DRC and cpmRtc and pins minResolutionPercent:100. The official client never sends dynamicStreamingMode to CloudMatch.

The latest hardware trace shows software decoding at decodeUsP95=16000 against a 16.7 ms frame budget (FFmpeg-SW-3T ... auto-fallback). Client-performance resolution control therefore has a reason to keep lowering resolution. The VIDEO log line now records hardwareSetup=<code> so the reason for the NVDEC fallback appears in the next log.

Tests: 145 host checks pass normally and under ASan/UBSan, and 93 streaming checks pass. The Switch build and NRO asset check pass. SHA-256 is a47b40ac3f7ac0ee594badcb9d14fdcf0ad9cd5c198a6151ce8ea2ddb7f6fbf9. This is evidence-based but has not been confirmed on hardware.

Hardware logs show a clean network (one gap in 26k packets, two
keyframes) but received video stuck near 3.5 Mbps for a full minute
with 16 Mbps requested, matching the 4 Mbps initial bitrate. The server
ramps from the initial value using delay feedback this WebRTC stack does
not send, so the encoder stayed starved and visibly lost detail on
motion. Advertise the requested bitrate as the initial and initial peak
bitrate, log the offer's RTCP feedback, header extensions and NVST
bitrate controls for diagnosis, and report the NVTEGRA device error
code when hardware decoding falls back.
The Switch FFmpeg build provides NVDEC as ff_h264_nvtegra_hwaccel, not
as a decoder named h264_nvtegra, so avcodec_find_decoder_by_name()
returned NULL, setup failed with -1 and every stream fell back to
software decoding. Hardware logs show hardwareSetup=-1 and a 16 ms
software decode p95 at 720p60. Select the H.264 decoder by codec ID and
let the NVTEGRA hw_device_ctx attach the hwaccel, matching
Moonlight-Switch. The existing NVDEC crash marker still falls back to
software on the next launch if hardware decoding fails at runtime.

f791bd7 enables NVDEC. It has never worked in any release since 1.0.

The decoder looked up avcodec_find_decoder_by_name("h264_nvtegra"). The bundled Switch FFmpeg doesn't have a decoder by that name. It provides NVDEC as a hwaccel instead: nm on libavcodec.a shows only ff_h264_nvtegra_hwaccel, ff_hevc_nvtegra_hwaccel and so on. The lookup returned NULL and setup failed with -1, so every stream fell back to software decoding. Hardware logs confirm this: hardwareSetup=-1 ... FFmpeg-SW-3T(auto-fallback) with decodeUsP95=16000 and about 50–55 output fps at 720p60.

The fix uses avcodec_find_decoder(AV_CODEC_ID_H264) and lets the NVTEGRA hw_device_ctx attach the hwaccel, the same way Moonlight-Switch does. The Deko3D NVTEGRA zero-copy path already mirrors Moonlight's (av_nvtegra_frame_get_fbuf_map, plus range handling), but it now runs on hardware for the first time. If it crashes, the existing NVDEC crash marker switches to software on the next launch.

The full Switch build passes, and 93 streaming checks pass normally and under ASan/UBSan. NRO SHA-256: b0eca1e10030dfd25541e59ad70c2a4fbed46db0541593cdf3045ca717ed251b. This needs a hardware run to confirm.

Separate, still open: bitrate stays at about 3.5 Mbps. The logs now show the offer includes a=rtcp-fb:96 transport-cc and a transport-wide-cc extmap. The Switch answer echoes only nack/nack pli, and libpeer can't produce TWCC feedback. That leaves GFN's delay-based congestion control (bwe.useOwdCongestionControl) without the feedback it uses to raise the bitrate.

The server offers transport-cc and the transport-wide sequence number
extension, but the answer dropped both and libpeer never reported packet
arrival times, so the sender's delay-based bandwidth estimator had no
input and the stream stayed near 3.5 Mbps.

Echo transport-cc and the offered extmap for video and audio, record
microsecond arrival times per transport sequence number, and send RTCP
transport feedback every 50 ms with bounded history.
