What is the expected result? windows being mirrored

What happens instead of that? black screen

GFE 3.15 works as expected , GFE 3.16 released monday 19th Nov 2018 makes the display go black and nothing else happens, no video, no audio.

The fix for common-c is in https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-common-c/commit/8665d806978d2cba9c9040183a3686f4d87d402c and it has shipped on PC, iOS, and Android clients without reported issues.

[Tony322]

Can confirm. Running the same stuff on my RPI 3. Running Raspbian and using same launch options but -app Steam instead. I also have GFE 3.16.0.122. "moonlight stream -1080 -fps 60 -app Steam"

[JailSeed]

The fix for common-c is in moonlight-stream/moonlight-common-c@8665d80 and it has shipped on PC, iOS, and Android clients without reported issues.

But how to update this file on RPI3?

[larseberhardt]

I have the same error. Starting control stream...Start A failed: 11

Would like to know how to fix this.

yeah i found that while searching for this issue , but more than an issue is a warning for irtimmer so he can release a version that uses the new commit. Also , dont know how all this works but could not find controlStream.c file in embedded so for the moment the only solution is to rollback to GFE 3.15

Yeah, thank you, thats just worked for me (RPI3, OSMC)

[steve1977]

I believe I am facing the same issue (https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded/issues/701). It works for 2-3 seconds, but then stream stops and returns to command line.

Not clear to me from this thread whether there is a fix and what it is. Any advice? Thanks!

[steve1977]

Or just be patient to wait for a new commit?

Thank you for providing your already gained knowledge! But my question is how I update the external moonlight-common-c library to this specific patch?

Edit 1: Already tried sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade moonlight-common-c but this results in an error "Unable to locate package moonlight-common-c".

[5schatten]

@fl0wzr Well in my case I compile the whole stuff myself so I apply the patch and the buildsystem does the rest. If you rely on apt-get you have to wait until the repo is updated.

[fl0wzr]

@5schatten I understand so unfortunately I have to wait for a new patch because I don't know how to compile the whole thing - thank you for explaining!

[steve1977]

Same here, compiling is beyond what I am able to do.

Does anyone know whether irtimmer is aware and we may see a fix over next couple of weeks?

Let me give it a try for the moment to downgrade to an earlier version of GFE. I am not certain yet whether my issue (https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded/issues/701) is actually identical with what you are seeing. I believe mine started even with 3.15.

[TyanColte]

Has anybody tested running moonlight-embedded with the -unsupported flag? Since us plebs who don't know how to compile the whole thing ourselves and rely on somebody who does to update the repo in a timely fashion can't stream right now do you think the -unsupported option would work?

[hhromic]

I can confirm the issue on my side as well. The patch mentioned does fix it. If you are using RetroPie, you can try the experimental scriptmodule I'm developing here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19872/moonlight-request-for-comments-and-testing

It will automatically build, install and configure moonlight in your RetroPie machine. I included now the mentioned patch to fix compatibility with GFE 3.16

[hhromic]

I sent a PR now against the moonlight embedded version of moonlight-common-c: https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-common-c/pull/1

Hopefully @irtimmer merges it soon and all should be back to normal.

[fl0wzr]

I sent a PR now against the moonlight embedded version of moonlight-common-c: irtimmer/moonlight-common-c#1

Hopefully @irtimmer merges it soon and all should be back to normal.

That's actually really great, thank you! Hopefully this will get merged into the main branch soon.

[irtimmer]

Issue is fixed with commit 9ab10f0dab66f49e4e74000d7b51f64bdce25f8b

[hhromic]

Great, thanks @irtimmer !

[fl0wzr]

Awesome, thank you! @irtimmer

[hhromic]

Confirmed working! ;) Thanks again.

[steve1977]

Unfortunately not yet working for me. Still seeing "Start A failed 11" error. How to update?

[steve1977]

I am on 2.4.7-1stretch1. It doesn't seem to include the fix?

[fl0wzr]

Can't confirm, it's not working for me..

[jesusvallejo]

Did you build it on your device or just reinstalled? you'll have to compile it if you want it to work, and i confirm it works. save the "first"as a script like install.sh and sudo sh install.sh , and it will install everything you need.

First:

sudo apt-get update INSTALL_PKGS=" libopus0 libexpat1 libasound2 libudev0 or libudev1 libavahi-client3 libcurl3 libevdev2 libenet7 rbp-userland-osmc libraspberrypi0 libssl-dev libopus-dev libasound2-dev libudev-dev libavahi-client-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libevdev-dev libexpat1-dev libpulse-dev uuid-dev libenet-dev cmake gcc g++ libraspberrypi-dev fakeroot debhelper " for i in $INSTALL_PKGS; do sudo apt-get install -y $i done

Second, execute all those commands:

Compile/Build moonlight:

First get the last Master with this command:

git clone https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded.git

Now navigate into the new directory git just created with the master inside:

cd moonlight-embedded

update the submodule

git submodule update --init --recursive

create a directory where moonlight will be build

mkdir build

navigate to the created directory cd build/

now lets build it with these commands cmake ../ make

with this we will finnaly install moonlight

sudo make install lest load so we can use moonlight , a reboot/shutdown should also work

sudo ldconfig

Try it: moonlight stream -1080 -fps 60 -bitrate 8000

and it should start streaming steam big picture.

[fl0wzr]

@jesusvallejo Thank you for answering and with such detail!

I just tried to updated my moonlight-embedded version (sudo apt-get update) but I guess it was just merged into the main branch but no new version was released? I'll give your approach a try! :-)

[fl0wzr]

@jesusvallejo So I tried your approach... and it worked!! thank you a lot!👍

But just for your interest, the script doesn't work. Following error appears: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo sh install.sh install.sh: 2: install.sh: for: not found Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package done Maybe some repository is faulty. Created all I needed manually.

[posti85]

Thank you @jesusvallejo, now I've moonlight working!

I only have to point that the script you provided to install dependencies didn't work for me. Based on the dependencies from https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded/wiki/Compilation I just executed:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libopus0 libexpat1 libasound2 libudev1 libavahi-client3 libcurl3 libevdev2 libenet7 libssl-dev libopus-dev libasound2-dev libudev-dev libavahi-client-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libevdev-dev libexpat1-dev libpulse-dev uuid-dev libenet-dev cmake gcc g++ fakeroot debhelper

Also, if you have OSMC:

sudo apt-get install rbp-userland-dev-osmc

Or if you have Raspbian:

sudo apt-get install libraspberrypi-dev

Then I followed the second part (cloning and compiling the project). Just point again that I had to:

sudo make install

(yep, with sudo)

And after all I had to

sudo shutdown -r now

To get it working.

One question: What should I do if the release gets updated and I want to use the executable from the repo instead of this compiled one?

Best regards.

[jesusvallejo]

@fl0wzr you are welcome, the script should work as I used it and copy/paste it in here, I'll update it for future reference. @posti85 thanks for the update, and also confirm that is sudo make install , I forgot to write it in here, if you sudo ldconfig you shouldn't have to reboot neither shutdown, but it's another way to do it.

As for your question related to the update, I have no knowledge to answer it but you shouldn't have any trouble to apt remove and install it from the repository , youll have to sudo rm -r moonlight-emmbedded and then install it from the repository.

@iTaybb, did you uninstalled the other package? Did the compilation work? The error is throwing seems to be the same so probably it's being used the previous version. Make sure you are using the executable you have compiled.

Did you follow my tutorial , the git is the one i published there as the debian branch is far behind the master one, the tutorial is about building it and installing it , as i think u mb built it and did a apt-get install moonlight-embedded , that just installs the repository version not the one u just built.

@irtimmer i think you can close it again 👍

[iTaybb]

@iTaybb, did you uninstalled the other package? Did the compilation work? The error is throwing seems to be the same so probably it's being used the previous version. Make sure you are using the executable you have compiled.

Thank you. I didn't uninstall the old package beforehand. Now it's all working.

[MrScruff300]

Hi all,

I am having the same issues as above since updating GeForce and unfortunately i’m not confident enough to update by compiling myself (even with instructions above). I launch moonlight through the Retropie main screen, I followed instructions to create an icon and launch script. Will the release in the repository be updated to correct this error as i will need to be able to update through audio apt get update? Cheers

[MrScruff300]

Meant sudo apt-get update

[posti85]

@MrScruff300, here: https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded/issues/716#issuecomment-445205242 you have detailed instructions to compile it

[filthygurll]

For some reason after compiling I am no longer able to connect to server through a VPN, before hand I had OpenVPN set up so moonlight would work remotely and now after compiling and fixing it where I con connect and stream on the same network, when try connecting from a different network through OpenVPN moonlight hangs on searching for server, I am still able to pair but hang on searching for server.

[devolt5]

@MrScruff300 Here's what worked for me:

1. Fresh installation of RetroPie 4.4 with Raspian 9 - Stretch
2. Followed instructions on: #716

If you use the script from https://github.com/TechWizTime/moonlight-retropie replace "moonlight jessie main" with "moonlight stretch main"

Now it work's again with GFE 3.16.0.140

[McNugget6750]

I'm trying to follow the instructions as I get the error described here. I'm on the latest raspbian stretch.

So to fix this, I'm trying to compile from sources following https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded/wiki/Full-details-for-Compilation-and-Installation-in-Raspbian-OSMC

But when I try to run git submodule update --init I get an error that I can't get rid or. Therefore I can't build from sources. Any ideas?

Build instructions work perfectly on latest Raspbian (Buster) with Raspberry Pi 4. Can get 1080 with 60 FPS. Some textures dont seem to come through though on Outer World, and Witcher 3 (only games I've tried), streaming PC desktop also seems to work. Not sure what causes this. I will try a LAN cross over cable between PC and Pi, bypass my router, see if its LAN bandwidth related. Incidentally increasing the memory for GPU on the Pi makes no difference (1GB setting causes Kernel deadlock on boot, 256MB seems to be enough). Specs are Pi 4 is 4GB model, PC 64GB DDR 4 3200, AMD Ryzen 3900x, NVidia 1650 GTX
