Steam streaming (again)

Hello all,

Further to my previous message I will attempt to better explain myself. Thanks for taking the time to respond in the last show.

I was indeed attempting to use Steam in-home streaming with an nVidia GPU, from a Linux host to a Steam Link or the nvidia Shield TV with the Steam Link app. I initially failed to get this work on Ubuntu 18.10 using 415 drivers from the graphics-drivers PPA. These drivers appear to be a 'must' for any experiments with Proton and DXVK. I then proceeded to take a detour via Cuda in the mistaken belief that Cuda was to blame for a failure to properly capture the game.

My non-default aspects might be that I am using the Ubuntu Mate desktop. I have the Marco (adaptive compositor) enabled. Games run fine, and I wired the house to 1Gb so keen to get this working. From Jordan's comments and general confusion it sounds like this should "just work" so I'm stuck as to what I've screwed up. Is there anything to tweak and has anyone seen a situation similar to this.

Do you disable compositors, always run openGL compositors or just leave everything at package defaults? Can't think what else it might be. Loathe to switch from Mate as it works well.

Thanks again, you do a good job although I'm sure you'd hate to read that out
