I'm using idle master on my raspberry pi. However, I met a problem. Here is the log.

However, Steam still shows that I'm not "In game". How can I deal with it? Sorry for my poor English.

Do you keep Steam client running/open?

No. Is it necessary? How to install steam on Linux?(Debian)

There is no steam client and api for ARM (raspberry pi). So you're stuck with x86 or amd64. You need to have the client running for it to detect the running "game".

Understood. Thank you for you replies.
