The punktfunk-session Vulkan client (clients/linux-session, now clients/session) builds and runs on Windows; the WinUI shell spawns it for every stream. Verified live: 10-bit HEVC via Vulkan Video on both AMD (iGPU) and NVIDIA, 5120x1440 at 130 fps / 8 ms end-to-end on the RTX 4090. - pf-ffvk: Windows bindgen branch (FFMPEG_DIR + PF_FFVK_VULKAN_INCLUDE, no pkg-config); provisioning fetches Vulkan-Headers (pinned v1.4.309). - pf-client-core: builds on Windows — WASAPI audio (audio_wasapi.rs, cfg-swapped via #[path], same surface as the PipeWire twin), VAAPI/dmabuf gated inline (chain = vulkan -> software), trust reads the WinUI shell's %APPDATA% stores (parity tests pin both serialized shapes), Settings gains adapter/hdr_enabled (serde-defaulted; Linux stores unaffected). - pf-presenter: builds on Windows — dmabuf module Linux-gated; SDL keyboard grab while captured (Alt+Tab/Win reach the host); pick_device ranks discrete over integrated (device 0 was the iGPU on hybrid boxes — the silent footgun) and honors PUNKTFUNK_VK_ADAPTER (the Settings GPU pick, exported by the session). - run loop: block in one SDL wait woken by input AND decoded frames (a per- session forwarder pushes a FrameWake user event) instead of a 1 ms poll — measured 111%% -> 5%% of a core (NVIDIA), 86%% -> 3.5%% (AMD), stats unchanged. The pump's decode-fence wait became once-per-window sampling (no per-frame pipeline stall; the stat now shows true backlog). - pf-console-ui: builds on Windows (skia-safe msvc prebuilts); font lookup falls through fontconfig aliases to concrete DirectWrite families (Consolas/Segoe UI) — browse/coverflow works, verified against a live host. - WinUI shell: session-always via new src/spawn.rs (GTK spawn.rs port — CREATE_NO_WINDOW, stdout contract, kill handle); the Stream screen is a status card (chips + stage lines from the child's stats). The legacy in-process D3D11VA path stays behind Settings "Streaming engine" / PUNKTFUNK_BUILTIN_ STREAM=1 as the A/B baseline until Phase 8 deletes it. SessionParams.video_caps makes the HDR toggle real. - clients/linux-session renamed to clients/session (builds for both OSes). - CI/MSIX: both workflows build/test both bins with widened path filters; the MSIX ships punktfunk-session.exe. ARM64 session builds --no-default-features (rust-skia has no aarch64-pc-windows-msvc prebuilts; flip when it does). A/B on this box (5120x1440 HEVC vs home-worker-5): NVIDIA Vulkan 130 fps / 8 ms e2e / 1.6 ms decode — clearly better than the built-in path. The AMD iGPU VCN saturates at ~52 fps where its own D3D11VA does ~70 — Adrenalin Vulkan decode is slower on APU silicon; discrete RDNA validation gates Phase 8.

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), a status-chip stream HUD, 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/.
