      @Substring Well as you see in the message I tried to create the file which didn't work and it was fixed after I cleaned GFE and re-paired again with cleaning, now it's blackscreen again.

        @Anon This rather looks like pair / init is not working. So, forget paired devices on GFE, and on recalbox, run the script once with each of these parameters : clean then pair then init

          @Substring That's exactly what I did and what I said after I had the error with the file. I fully forgot all devices in GFE, cleaned Moonlight and paired them again. You want me to do it again?

          So did it again with reboot and now it's only showing version 4.0.2 and "recalbox" with logo at the bottom.
          /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop
          cd /recalbox/scripts/moonlight
          ./Moonlight.sh clean
          You can now pair again your recalbox with a PC
          ./Moonlight.sh clean
          You can now pair again your recalbox with a PC
          ./Moonlight.sh pair

              @Substring Isn't a full blackscreen anymore, it has the recalbox footer and stays black. But yes, config should be standard:

              ##Hostname or IP-address of host to connect to
              ##By default host is autodiscovered using mDNS
              #address =

              ##Bitrate depends by default on resolution and fps
              ##Set to -1 to enable default
              ##20Mbps (20000) for 1080p (60 fps)
              ##10Mbps (10000) for 1080p or 60 fps
              ##5Mbps (5000) for lower resolution or fps
              bitrate = -1

              ##Size of network packets should be lower than MTU
              #packetsize = 1024

              ##Default started application on host
              #app = Steam

              ##Default used mapping for streaming
              ##Searched for in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/moonlight or /usr/share/moonlight and /usr/local/share/moonlight

              ##Only evdev devices /dev/input/event* are allowed

                    @Anon I need you to start moonlight the way recalbox does it so that we can check the output of moonlight.

                      @Substring Hey, not quite sure what you mean. Mind explaining?

                      What I did now was editing the Moonlight conf, set a bitrate of 50000 and set the platform to "pi", sops to false.
                      I installed the newest drivers from a few days ago and installed GFE 3.1.2.31, cleaned everything and paired with still the same result.

                      The only error output when launching is:
                      Failed to initialize libcec interface

                      The rest is just a mass spam of:

                      It's still just the recalbox footer in a black screen with sound.

                              @Anon Sorry for the late reply ...
                              Does this happen only with Dolphin ? You'd better try wihth some supported Steam games first.

                              Anyway, what I was looking for is the command : '/usr/bin/moonlight stream -config /recalbox/share/system/configs/moonlight/moonlight.conf -mapping /recalbox/share/system/configs/moonlight/mappingP3.conf -input /dev/input/event2 -mapping /recalbox/share/system/configs/moonlight/mappingP2.conf -input /dev/input/event1 -mapping /recalbox/share/system/configs/moonlight/mappingP1.conf -input /dev/input/event0 -app 'Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Multiplayer' : launch it, and give me its output

                              I'd also need the output of /recalbox/scripts/moonlight/Moonlight.sh list
