#Limelight Pi

Limelight is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield, but built for Linux/OSX/Windows.

Limelight Pi allows you to stream your full collection of Steam games from your powerful Windows desktop to your Raspberry Pi.

For a demo see this video.

Limelight-common is the shared codebase between different implementations of Limelight

Limelight also has an Android implementation.

Limelight-pc also has an Linux (X)/OSX/Windows implementation.

  • Geforce Experience 2.1.1 or higher

##Quick Start

  • Ensure your machine and Raspberry Pi are on the same network
  • Turn on Shield Streaming in the GFE settings
  • Start Limelight Pi with pair
  • Accept the pairing confirmation on your PC
  • Start Limelight Pi with stream
  • Play games!
