Can I use touch screen mode instead of touchpad mode?

[shinobiz]

Hello, great engineer！
Can I use touch screen mode instead of touchpad mode? It’s best to use two fingers to zoom or pan the screen, just like steam link. This is very convenient for playing galgame or Hgame. Thank you！

Unfortunately, that's not possible with GameStream. It only supports relative mouse movement which requires capturing the mouse cursor.

Would this be possible with sunshine as the server? The direct input touch already works great. Would be nice for that to actually be touch instead of mouse.

+1 for this, will significantly improve the touch control experience

+1 this would be really useful!

+1 Please implement this if possible. It would make moonlight so much easier to use and would feel native.

I found the solution to this and shared it in a different thread.

How is that a solution? Trusting a random build seems a bit much (plus you seem vague about where it even is). Regular user searching for some random Chinese username leads to nothing.

Read the comment I'm replying to for instructions on how to compile it yourself. The native multi-touch functionality is already built into the Moonlight code but is disabled, the Chinese dev only enabled it and added a few quality of life features to make it more convenient. It's up to you whether you want to trust him or not.

Also it's the first result if you search for his username in your search engine of choice, I'm not being "vague", I'm just sharing the temporary solution I found.

First results brings me to https://space.bilibili.com/16893379/

What am I supposed to do there?

But yes thanks it built fine

[parker@rogally moonlight-android]$ find . -iname "*apk"

Hey nice! This works with the recent native touch and stylus that sunshine implemented on Linux!

Interestingly, the current version of moonlight for ios supports actual touch input if an apple pencil is being used…
