Post your game streaming experience with Limelight here! - Fire TV General

If you are currently using Limelight (open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream technology) to stream games from your PC to your Fire TV, please post your experience here. I see different posts around the web showing that people are doing it, but I don't see a lot of details on how. I am thinking of building a gaming PC solely to stream games to my Fire TV. I hope that this thread can centralize Fire TV information and be a sticky once it has quality posts. Please answer any or all questions below. Thank you!
What are the specs of the streaming PC?
What version of Limelight for Android are you running?
What version is your GeForce Experience software?
What are your latency numbers?
What controller(s) are you using?
Any tips or tricks on configuring?

Splashtop Possibly adding Shield Controls Support!

First off, I'd like to thank Splashtop developers for being awesome and listening to potential splashtop customers. I recently sent them an email asking for Shield controller support (I Do not have Nvidia Graphics in my computer). Here's how the chat went down.
Me, Aug 13 20:13 (PDT):
Hello Splash top developers! I own an nVidia Shield and was wondering when
you will add support for its controller. Not everyone has an nVidia GPU so
we cannot utilize the streaming feature. Using game keyboard is too much of
a hassle, having to root it and all. I hope you understand. Me and many
other shield users would pay good money to see added shield controller
support so we can stream our games with our non nVidia PC. We would also
pay extra for the anywhere internet feature so we can play games from our
PC on the go. Thank you for taking the time to read this email.
Sincerely, nVidia Shield Users
Splashtop Personal, Aug 14 07:17 (PDT):
Hi,
Thanks for your great feedback!
We really appreciate suggestions like this from you, our valued customers, for our Splashtop Remote products. The user experience is always our first priority when improving our products. We will keep on collecting this kind of suggestion to make Splashtop Remote products even better.
We will forward your findings to our Product team and Development team to follow up on feasibility studies and issue-solving. Sometimes, when researching a suggested new feature or option for implementation, they will ask us to go back and contact the original suggesting user (you) for some type of specific details. So, if you don’t mind, we may be contacting you again for more information.
In addition, if you have any more ideas for new or enhanced functions in the future, we welcome you to add an Article to our Forum ( REDACTED(Due to my post count) ). This often begins a discussion which includes feedback from both Splashtop staff, and from other users who would like to see your idea implemented.
We really appreciate you generously taking your time to share your ideas, and thanks for using this Support service.
Regards,
Splashtop Support Team
So what does this mean? You might soon be able to stream your PC and Mac games without needing a NVIDIA GPU!
You CAN do this right now but it will void you warrant and be very innacurate for the controls. You can map the controls via gamekeyboard, which will need root, which will need an unlocked boot loader. So, if Splashtop adds shield support, we would no longer need root. Also, splashtop offers a "Anywhere Streaming" feature which would allow us to truly play pc games "On- The - Go", Having wifi everywhere and tethering available from most carriers and phones. So, you should be able to play Assasin's creed 3, on the bus!
So we've got 2014 now and it isn't working...
At the moment I don't have a gaming PC so I don't mind waiting. Man I hope they add Ubuntu support.

EPL on Fire Stick 4K.

Hi all. I’m new to this forum so I don’t know if this thread has already been discussed. I have just bought a new Fire Stick 4K and I want to watch English Premiership games on it. I already subscribe to Sky Sports and Bt Sports am a season ticket holder of my local team but I also want to watch games which are not on the two subscription channels. Can anyone recommend an app or iptv to do this please. My brother in law uses Albion.iptv and it works well but I can’t find that one.
