two pc's to one tv split screen? (possumpat.io)

Does anyone know if there is a device that let's you combine two video inputs and then outputs one split screen view.

I've read some tvs have that feature but I don't have the option on mine so maybe there is a separate device that can do it.

The goal is to be able to play split screen the games me and the wife used to play but from the couch now that we have a baby gaming at our desk isn't really a thing anymore so I'm thinking split screen with xbox controllers would be nice

Oh I'm not sure I've never looked into what that is

Moonlight is also a possible option. Heard good things

Switched to sunshine+moonlight from steam remote play. Works much better, especially on low end clients. And as a bonus you have full access, not just for steam.

Nice, never heard about Sunshine! How does that work? I have a Debian server with ok specs running for *Arr services, but no games on it. Is it just a middle man I can run on my server or do I need to have games installed on the server too?

[–] Asayhem@lemmus.org 2 points 7 months ago

It's basically a self-hosted stream that moonlight connects to within your network. https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases You still need any and all software that'll actually be running on the server, but you can use sunshine either for streaming particular applications from it or just as a general all purpose remote access tool. So it's like Parsec, only FOSS and imo works better too.

I use my server with the steam headless docker and that way I always have games available to stream to my phone. It's nice that it's a docker container because then the gpu can be shared between that and plex. You can then install sunshine on the docker and moonlight on your phone or a laptop

Oh my god, I haven't even thought of running steam headless in Docker! My current media setup is just a shit loads of Dockers anyways
