Device Streaming
Prevent Feedback Noise
The Remote Rendering functionality can be used in combination with Device Stream to preview and save what the user sees, however this may cause some audio feedback noise because the audio produced on the host is sent to the device and then back to the host by Device Stream. To prevent audio loopback noise, lower the volume of the Device Stream live preview before starting Remote Rendering.
Troubleshooting
Fast User Switching
Magic Leap does not support the Windows OS feature fast user switching for remote rendering. Make sure you are only logged into one account when using remote rendering, or you will get an error message.
Can't Install Remote Viewer
If your system does not have an NVIDIA GPU, you can't use the remote render feature. The system will not automatically install Remote Viewer if this is the case. Try using a computer with an NVIDIA GPU.
Debug Logs
If an issue occurs with the Remote Rendering service, logs will be requested for support purposes. To receive these logs, in a PowerShell window, execute the following:
- Windows
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Program Files\Magic Leap Remote Rendering\DebuggerScript.ps1"
