    • RE: Moonlight Exit Game

      @TheSNKNeoGeo64 Hey man - I've had this issue before too - it is the PC end, not the fault of recalbox. Even if the devs put in an alt+F4 command, this would only stop your game, your issue is that your PC is not closing out of gamestream.

      Tried restarting your PC? Other things I tried were to use other versions of GFE, changing streaming settings the in the monlight.conf etc.

    • RE: Moonlight woes :(

      so though reinstalls, different GFE's etc, I have narrowed it down to wake on lan causing the issue.
      I.e. If I WOL from my phone, pc starts, steam streams to Mac, doesn't stream to Pi (black screen, doesn't kill back to emulation station).
      If I then put to sleep and wake with kb/mouse, it works as it is supposed to...

      Any advice how to have WOL not screw with moonlight streaming?

    • Moonlight woes :(

      Hi all,

      Really hoping that someone can help with my moonlight issues.

      I followed all instructions given on this site: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Setup-moonlight-(EN)
      I applied configuration "a" (Version >= 4.0.0 beta1).
      After using the command "./Moonlight.sh pair" I get this "error" message:

      Moonlight Embedded 2.2.0 (EMBEDDED;CEC;PI)
      Too many options: No such file or directory
      Moonlight Embedded 2.2.0 (EMBEDDED;CEC;PI)
      Searching for server...

      Now... It was working previously, and if I uninstall GFE (2.11.xx) and reinstall, then sometimes I can get it paired again to work.
      I can stream without issues to my MacBook (steam stream, not moonlight), but recalbox is really struggling with something.

      Once I actually get the thing working, and either restart my PC or resume from sleep, it looses the ability to stream/pair (to Pi only).
      I've got GFE whitelisted on norton, taken off all the over-internet port forwarding etc.

      Also tried ./Moonlight.sh clean, but it still won't find the games PC. No other game stream PC on the network either...

      Any advice on where to look?

    • Help request - Enabling xboxdrv driver breaks Recalbox steam link

      Hi there,

      So everything is working well except for the infuriating flashing on my wireless x360 controller.

      I followed https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/2973/xbox-360-wireless-controllers-work-but-keep-flashing/2 and rebooted and the controller is now not flashing the player connection leds, unfortunately this breaks the steam link within Recalbox. There is no output, only a transition to black screen and back to emulationstation.

      If I F4 out of the frontend, go in as root, and start the frontend I get the following output (sorry for potato quality):
      http://i1218.photobucket.com/alb*ms/dd410/Voxson5/random/20170119_080431.jpeg

      Moonlight from command line works fine.

      Any advice on a fix? I would much prefer to NOT have the d**n flashing on the controller, but I do not want to have to command line moonlight either 😞

      *edit - reverting the recalbox.conf fixes the emulationstation steam launcher

    • RE: How do I add a simple Steam Big Picture link in Recalbox?

      @Substring Thank you for the advice on GFE 3.2. I put back on 2.11.3.6 which seems to get things working nicely - Might ensure that GFE does not get upgraded any time soon 🙂
      Did not scrap the games, but did put a Steam BP link - so essentially what I wanted initially anyway.

      A quick question - A linux savvy friend showed me a way to echo back to the command prompt a new device when it is plugged in (e.g. wireless headset dongle), I think it was "tail -f /var/log" or something similar. Would this be able to be used to allow recalbox to hot swap audio from hdmi to a another device?

      We did extract the USB dongle ID and could force the audio out to that via moonlight in the command prompt - & I see there is an audio device setting in moonlight.conf.
      Is there a way to say, do an "If / then / else" type command within a config or maybe as a script (are scripts like .bat files in dos?) that runs before or as part of starting moonlight / kodi / emulator?

      @Substring thanks man - gives me a starting point anyway. I am very green with linux, but comfortable with good old dos, so there is a bit that is familiar.
      *edit - that means I am very keen to learn, and not afraid to delve in

      Annoyingly, I found that it was the updated GFE install on the gaming host that mucked things up, not my playing with the pi...

      @Substring Hi again - I hope that you can please help me out

      I've been playing with a few things, essentially broke my setup and reinstalled 4.0.0 from fresh.

      My issue is that moonlight works fine from the command prompt, but does not launch from recalbox & I cannot figure out why 😞 It just waits a few seconds and dumps back into emulationstation.

      Any ideas?

    • RE: How do I add a simple Steam Big Picture link in Recalbox?

      @Substring Hi hi!

      Should "steam game" (or whatever it is called) show up in the moonlight tab within Recalbox? - Currently it is not there.

      I do see it, or something that looks like it, in /configs/moonlight/gamelist.txt:
      Steam;Steam

      In (unknown parent folders) /share/roms/moonlight/gamelist.xml there is no "Steam" entry, but there is:
      <game id="" source="theGamesDB.net">
      <path>./Steam.moonlight</path>
      <name>Steam</name>
      <desc />
      <image>./downloaded_images/Steam.net/banners/</image>
      <rating />
      <releasedate />
      <developer />
      <publisher />
      <genre />
      <players />
      </game>

      Within that directory, all the other scraped games from "./Moonlight.sh init" have their own zero byte file (doom.moonlight etc), but there is no file for just steam.

      This is all from a clean install of recalbox 4.0.0 and moonlight pair + init from command line.

      Any idea on how to make the Steam Big Picture link appear?

    • How do I add a simple Steam Big Picture link in Recalbox?

      Hi all - As title,

      Recalbox/Linux/Pi Newbie here & hope that I am asking in the correct place.

      I have things going ... so far so good, moonlight is paired, scraped and streams kinda ok. But what I am wanting to do is just start Big Picture, and select game from there, quit big picture to then return to Recalbox.

      Can anyone point me in the correct direction on this?
      Is there a file that have the steam stream link to load the specific games - if so, could anyone tell me where to find it, and if I just change the command to something like "moonlight stream -1080 -60fps -bitrate 20000" if that would accomplish the goal?

      I am assuming that the scraped games from "./Moonlight.sh init" create some kind of shortcut command to run them individually when launched from Recalbox?

      RP3 running Recalbox 4.0 final

      Cheers!
