I’m not sure anybody really cares about the streaming codec as long as it works with good quality.
But fair enough: I agree it would be nice to have a “Steam Link 2” that could do 4K60 (or better) and (as pointed out in a Machine review video I just watched) support HDMI CEC.
(Maybe some third-party company should do it and name it the “Missing Link,” LOL)
The Steam Link did not have H265 supported in streaming settings IIRC.
The Steam Link was capped to 1080p at 60 FPS.
Those are some serious hardware limitations.
They could have easily refreshed it at the time.

The streaming codec matters because it (265) is incredibly better and more efficient, which is what you want for streaming.
