LaunchBox Game Media Server?

Issue #3723 new
Former user created an issue

I am highly anticipating the ability to use LaunchBox as a Remote Access game media server on my public IP address similar to how Plex works for video/audio. Within Plex, there is an ability to add family and friends as plex friends so that they may stream content that I have organized to their device. My question for you is Will LaunchBox ever implement such an ability as this within your software or is the goal focused only on its use by one gaming computer? I would imagine such an ability would require background video screen capture coding and quality downgrading to fit the speed of the users who stream from it. Streaming is proving to be the new standard of the future. Also some sort of ability to receive controller commands from the user so that they game may be controlled and run on a virtual server machine in the background within its own session without interfering with my personal use on the server. As long as the hardware specs are high, I do not see reason to dismiss such an implementation especially among the interest of the DRM-free community. I am running a ASUS Geforce GTX 1080Ti on 32GB of DDR3, Intel Core i7 4GHz, 120TB (10TB/slot, 12 sata ports) current total capacity. On 1Gbps internet w/ Netgear CM1000 Modem + Nighthawk X10 Router. I have custom built to tackle this idea. If Project LaunchBox has not made plans to implement such a feature within its software similar to Plex, please consider it or at the very least please assist in educating me of a way to make it possible through customization of other tools. I own 2 Steamlinks however I have not tested them out yet. I was thinking that they would be strictly designed for Steam and strangled by DRM. Are DRM free games like GOG or Console Emulation possible on Steamlink if Steam loads LaunchBox/BigBox? I have tested running the Moonlight app by connecting to the graphics card which is very useful for only one session but it has no ability for multiple users from different locations simultaneously. It also has no security such as it displays my entire desktop and the freedom to roam outside of LaunchBox. That is not something safe if you stream to children so to speak who could mistakenly make changes to the system or to hackers with malicious intent. I look forward to hearing from you on this matter. Thanks -PittRipply
