#Moonlight for Chrome

[Moonlight for Chrome](http://moonlight-stream.com) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield, but built to run in the Chrome browser.

Moonlight for Chrome allows you to stream your full collection of games from your powerful desktop to another PC or laptop running Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, or Chrome OS.

Moonlight also has mobile versions for [Android](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android) and  [iOS](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-ios).

**This client is not yet complete, so you will probably not find much use for it unless you're a developer wishing to tinker with it**

##Features

* Streams Steam Big Picture and all of your games from your PC to your Chrome browser
* Keyboard and mouse support
* Hardware-accelerated video decoding
* Full support for Xbox controllers and PlayStation controllers, and some other HID gamepads


##Features to come
* Use mDNS to scan for compatible GeForce Experience (GFE) machines on the network
* Choose from your list of available games instead of just launching Steam

##Installation
* Download [GeForce Experience](http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience) and install on your GameStream-compatible PC
* Install Moonlight for Chrome from the Chrome Web Store

##Requirements
* Chrome browser on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, or Chrome OS
* [GFE compatible](http://shield.nvidia.com/play-pc-games/) computer with GTX 600+ series desktop or mobile GPU (for the PC from which you're streaming)
* High-end wireless router (802.11n dual-band recommended) or wired network

##Building
1. Install the Chrome Native Client SDK and download the current Pepper SDK
2. Set the `NACL_SDK_ROOT` environment variable to your Pepper SDK folder. If you need more detailed instructions, see [here](https://github.com/google/pepper.js/wiki/Getting-Started)
3. Run `git submodule update --init --recursive` from within `moonlight-chrome/`
4. Run `make` from within the `moonlight-chrome/` repo

##Testing
1. Open the Extensions page in Chrome
2. Check the 'Developer mode' option
3. Click 'Load unpacked extension' and point it at your built moonlight-chrome repo
4. Run Moonlight from the extensions page
5. If making changes, make sure to click the Reload button on the Extensions page

##Streaming
Moonlight Chrome is not yet able to start a stream by itself. It requires another client specially configured to bootstrap it. A modified version of Moonlight PC will do the job for now. Simply pair it to your PC, start whatever app you want with it, then quit it with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q 5 or 10 seconds after you see the "Starting <app>..." message on screen. You should then be able to connect Moonlight Chrome to your PC. Also worth noting is that without code modifications, Moonlight Chrome can only stream from GeForce Experience 2.10.2 (latest production version) at this time.
