The client half of the host's new `os=` advert, shared once in pf-client-core: `sanitize_os` (mDNS is unauthenticated input — lowercase `[a-z0-9._-]` tokens, capped) and `os_icon_tokens`, the most-specific-first walk with the brand aliases (`macos`→apple, `steamos`→steam) every platform resolves through. `DiscoveredHost` carries the chain, `KnownHost` persists it (`serde(default)`, elided when empty — older stores load unchanged and older clients read back exactly what they wrote), `upsert` moves it only when carried, and `learn_os` mirrors `learn_mac` — no-op, no disk write when unchanged — so the mark survives the host going to sleep. GTK shells: the card's status row leads with a recolorable symbolic glyph. That needed real embedded assets — the shells had none — so `data/` gains the ten `pf-os-*-symbolic` SVGs compiled into a gresource (new build.rs, glib-build-tools) and registered on the icon theme at startup; the Adwaita theme then tints them like every other status glyph. WinUI shell: reactor renders raster-from-URI only, so the embedded mid-gray PNGs (legible on both themes) materialize once into %LOCALAPPDATA%\punktfunk\os-icons\ — the library's poster-art pattern — and the tile's status row leads with a 16px image. The couch UI plumbs `HostRow.os` (live advert preferred, else the store) for a Skia glyph that is a declared follow-up; `--list-hosts` / `hosts --json` emit the stored chain so the Decky plugin can read it. A host that advertises no `os` renders everywhere exactly as it did before the field existed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
SwapChainPanelcomposition 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_HOMEmust be an ASCII path — non-ASCII characters break SDL3's MSVC precompiled-header build. Packaging (MSIX manifest, signing) lives inpackaging/.
