enricobuehler 236c59754b refactor(gamepad/windows): drop the dead shell fork, use pf-client-core's service
clients/windows/src/gamepad.rs was a 629-line near-verbatim fork of
pf-client-core's SDL gamepad service, frozen at an old single-pad design.
Commit 9822fc3b removed its attach/detach entry points but left the machinery,
so `Worker.attached` was initialized None and never set — ~300-400 lines
(button/axis/touchpad/motion forwarding, Ds5Feedback, the rumble/HID feedback
loop) were logically unreachable, never flagged because the guards read a
runtime Option the compiler can't prove is always None. The live remainder
(pad enumeration + pin persistence) had drifted from core: it opened every
device for metadata (vs core's no-open id-getters), force-enabled the Valve
HIDAPI drivers unconditionally, lacked the steam_virtual skip (so it could pin
Steam Input's virtual pad and kill gyro), and derived the pin key from an
opened handle — risking a cross-process byte-mismatch with the session, which
resolves the same key from id-getters.

The shell's only live job is enumerating pads for the Settings list and
persisting the pin; the spawned punktfunk-session already runs the full
pf-client-core service and does all real forwarding (session/main.rs). So
delete the fork and point the shell at pf_client_core::gamepad::GamepadService
directly — its start()/pads()/set_pinned()/clone() + PadInfo{key,name,
kind_label()} are a strict superset of what the shell uses. Idle, core's
service is hands-off the hardware (id-getter metadata, no device open, HIDAPI
off), which is the intended behavior and fixes the drift class above.

- delete clients/windows/src/gamepad.rs (-629) and `mod gamepad;`
- main.rs / app/mod.rs: use pf_client_core::gamepad::GamepadService
- drop the now-unused direct sdl3 dep (pf-client-core pulls it on Windows with
  the same build-from-source,hidapi features); sync Cargo.lock

Pre-checks (dev Mac): std mpsc Sender<T>: Sync confirmed on the pinned 1.96.0
(so core's GamepadService is Sync for the WinUI cross-thread sharing, no core
change needed); rustfmt clean; no dangling refs. Windows compile is deferred
to CI (windows-only crate, unbuildable on macOS).

punktfunk — Windows client

The native Windows app for streaming a punktfunk host to your PC. A modern WinUI 3 app that discovers hosts on your network, pairs with a PIN, and streams at your display's own resolution and refresh rate — with a hardware-accelerated D3D11 video path and HDR.

It's pure Rust: the UI is WinUI 3 driven through windows-reactor (a declarative, React-like framework), and it links the shared punktfunk-core directly to speak the fast punktfunk/1 protocol.

Features

  • Hardware decode, GPU present — FFmpeg HEVC with a D3D11VA zero-copy path (decoder and presenter share one D3D11 device; NV12/P010 textures sampled straight into a SwapChainPanel composition swapchain), with a robust software-decode fallback.
  • HDR10 — advertise 10-bit/HDR, detect PQ in-band, and flip the swapchain to R10G10B10A2 + ST.2084 with HDR10 metadata.
  • Your display's native mode — the host builds a virtual display at exactly your WxH@Hz.
  • Audio both ways — WASAPI render + mic capture.
  • Full controller support — SDL3 gamepads with rumble, lightbar, and DualSense feedback.
  • Your display's native mode, really — "Native display" resolves the actual size + refresh of the monitor the window is on at connect time.
  • Find hosts automatically — mDNS discovery lists hosts on your LAN, alongside saved and manual entries. First connect does a one-time SPAKE2 PIN pairing (or TOFU on trusted LANs), then reconnects on a pinned identity. Saved hosts carry per-host actions: a network speed test (probe burst over the real data plane → recommended bitrate, applied in one tap) and forget.
  • Polished shell — host cards, settings (resolution / refresh / host compositor / decoder / codec / bitrate / HDR / forwarded controller / gamepad type / system shortcuts / audio channels / mic / stats-overlay level), the tiered stats overlay (Off / Compact / Normal / Detailed — Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S cycles it live in the session window), and the full trust surface. Stream input uses Win32 low-level hooks with Moonlight-style capture: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q releases the pointer, a click on the stream re-captures it, and system shortcuts (Alt+Tab, Win, …) can act locally or forward to the host.

Builds and ships for both x64 and ARM64 as a signed MSIX.

Get it

Install the signed MSIX from the package registry — see docs.punktfunk.unom.io/docs/install-client. A stock Moonlight client also works over GameStream if you prefer.

Build from source

Windows-only (the crate builds as a stub on other platforms so the workspace stays green). You need the MSVC toolchain, an FFMPEG_DIR FFmpeg tree, and CMake (SDL3 builds from source). windows-reactor's build.rs downloads the Windows App SDK NuGets and needs CARGO_WORKSPACE_DIR set.

cargo build -p punktfunk-client-windows --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

# CLI paths for testing (no window):
punktfunk-client --discover                                   # list hosts on the LAN
punktfunk-client --headless --connect host[:port] [--pin HEX] # connect, count frames, print stats
punktfunk-client --headless --speed-test --connect host[:port]  # probe burst → recommended bitrate

CARGO_HOME must be an ASCII path — non-ASCII characters break SDL3's MSVC precompiled-header build. Packaging (MSIX manifest, signing) lives in packaging/.
