Unsolved Moonlight on Recalbox 6.0 Not Working

[kdash9999]

@lmerckx if possible, could you give us the steps to resolve it by ourselves ? Thanks in advance

[lmerckx]

@kdash9999 I could but are you ready to recompile the Recalbox project ?
Because you will need to do it ...

The steps to follow are listed in this page: https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox

@lmerckx didn't think it was something like this, i'll wait thx

[bankovse]

@lmerckx could downgrade gfe help with this?

[lmerckx]

@bankovse I'm not sure to understand your question.
But I was unable to downgrade GFE on my computer. The only solution I found was to upgrade Moonlight.

[bankovse]

@lmerckx I installed version 3.10 of GFE, but it did not help.
It still crashes a few seconds after launch, back to the main menu

Hi,

Sorry for my english.

The moonlight problem is known. Is there a method for Moonlight to work?

Is an update planned soon to fix this problem?

Thank you.

[micky49]

@acris Yeah Thank you !

Should we wait until 6.1 comes out to apply the patch?

[micky49]

Is it possible for me to install this patch on my recalbox (Raspberry 3) ?

Not working with GFE 3.12.0.84. Older Recalbox 18.07.13 works fine on another RPi. Please, give us opportunity to install older versions. Especially needed ZIP-archives compatible with NOOBS or PINN, to create multiboot SD-cards.

[lmerckx]

Ok, I'll explain differently:

In Recalbox 6.0, Moonlight doesn't work, with any version of GFE, due to a bug in the launcher.
This problem will be solved in version 6.1.

But, even when resolving this problem, the version of Moonlight used is not compatible with last versions of GFE.
So, Recalbox 6.1 also updates the version of Moonlight.

Conclusion: In 6.1, Moonlight will support all versions of GFE.

@lmerckx said in Moonlight on Recalbox 6.0 Not Working:

Moonlight doesn't work, with any version of GFE, due to a bug in the launcher

It's understand. I just asking to give us opportunity to downgrade Recalbox to previous version, where Moonlight works fine, because for me this feature is critical and it's not working

However, I'm already finds a way to restore my crashed SD-card with Libreelec 9.0.2 and Recalbox 18.07.13 installed, so don't pay attention to this message

For those who wonder or ask the question :

If you connect another screen to your pc (with a dongle), it seems that Moonlight only cast the main one

https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-ios/issues/295

So , by this way, you should be able to use your computer on the second screen WHILE casting to recalbox on a RPI.

I haven't test it, tought.

Just in case....

Moonlight works with recalbox 6.1, thanks to all the team

@kdash9999 You're welcome !
