Describe the Bug

As already registered by this user on Reddit... I have the same problem...

https://www.reddit.com/r/MoonlightStreaming/comments/197g7pu/sunshine_does_it_only_support_latest_macos_v20/

"...when I connect to it it will show 1 frame and glitch out so that it doesn't show changes, it will loop back and forth between a few frames so doesn't actually show me what's really happening on the screen..."

Expected Behavior

Well... Just like on other platforms, I connect to the "desktop" of the host where Sunshine is running, run the applications, enjoying the graphical acceleration available.
