Your system information

  • Steam client version: Dec 9, 2016
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch 64
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I have a streaming host running Arch and a guest laptop also running Arch. If I login to steam on both, they are not available to stream to each other. But if I turn on my steam link, the streaming option appears and I can then stream from host to laptop.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Login to 2 different linux boxes. Streaming is not available.
  2. Turn on a steam link on the same network and streaming becomes available between the two linux boxes.

My Problem seems similar:
Windows host
Linux client

Windows host can see Linux client in the devices list, but "not connected"
Linux host can't see anything where previously it listed the Windows hostname.

Haven't done any streaming in a month, so I don't know which update is responsible.

Updating to Beta didn't help.

Hello @walmartshopper, @bandresen, are either of you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?
