Going to side load this onto my FireTV and give it a shot.

Let me know how this goes, that’s my exact plan.

I had a quick try and it works amazing:

Works great. I recommend an android controller though as the DS4 is a bit laggy with the fireTV

The XBOX ones don't work with Android since recently. It will refuse to pair.

There are a shed load of decent 3rd party controllers out there.

Actually the XBOX pad works fine in the Steam Link for me.

Out side of the Link it doesn't.

steam link on android, or steam link standalone?

Salty22 · 31 May 2018 at 16:39

Does that mean Apple will never approve it? ****’s lol

Nate75 · 31 May 2018 at 16:46

Fairly sure the answer is no said:

On Android on my Pixel 2.

It doesn't pair with my Xperia tablet though.

I read that MS changed things so it will not work anymore however now I am not convinced as it works fine on the Google but not the Sony.

I'm using an nVidia Shield TV with the nvidia game pad that comes with it. Does anyone know how to make Steam recognise that the pad is connected once its woken from sleep? Currently, all games stop working with the pad once its gone to sleep and the only way to get it back is to quit the game, stop stream streaming and then restart it all up.

Works pretty well, xbox one controller pairs with the app perfectly as well.

Tried using it on my galaxy tab a and just shows a black screen when i open the app

Salty22 · 2 Jun 2018 at 11:28

Got it working with an Xbox one pad on my galaxy tab a, just needed a reboot of the tablet.
Works really well I’m surprised

Works really well on my Galaxy S7 and Moga pad. Sat playing TT: Isle of man last Sunday afternoon. Only downside is my S7 is getting on now and oh man does it eat battery life.

Just tested the Steam Link app on my OnePlus 3T, worked flawlessly over my network.
