GameStream client for Windows/OS X/Linux

#Limelight

Limelight is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield, but built for Linux/OS X/Windows.

Limelight-pc allows you to stream your full collection of Steam games from your powerful desktop to another PC or laptop running Linux/OS X/Windows.

Limelight also has an Android implementation. Versions for iOS and Windows and Windows Phone are currently in development.

##Features

• Keyboard and Mouse support
• Full support for Xbox 360 controllers, PS3 and PS4 controllers, and other HID gamepads
• Full Windows, OS X, and Linux Support

##Features to come

• Use mDNS to scan for compatible GeForce Experience (GFE) machines on the network
• Choose from your list of available games instead of just launching Steam

##Requirements
