Moonlight Embedded version: 2.5.0 Moonlight Embedded running on: Raspberry Pi Moonlight Embedded running on distribution: OSMC

Verbose output -verbose of Moonlight Embedded:

What is the expected result? Installation script recognizes the distro and proceeds installing the package.

What happens instead of that? See provided console log output.

Hmm, that's not good. I assume OSMC is compatible with Raspbian Buster packages?

Can you try this command instead?

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/moonlight-game-streaming/moonlight-embedded/setup.deb.sh' | distro=raspbian codename=buster sudo -E bash

Yep that worked. Just noting the issue for novice users that might not know how to prepare the override arguments (distro,codename,version,...).

Thanks for confirming. I updated the instructions on the wiki to specify the distro and codename explicitly.

Yesterday I have successfully updated from the compiled source v2.4.8 to distributable package v2.5.0. Everything is working fine, or even better than before, thanks to @cgutman.

If you are updating from the old repository and package maintainer (itimmer) you might want to do the following, in order to clean the redundant files:

# Remove old itimmer.gpg repository key
sudo apt-key del 66EB14EE
sudo apt-get purge moonlight-embedded
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt clean

If you need to remove a compiled package (example for OSMC distro) use:

# Remove deployed binaries, libraries and package manual
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libmoonlight* /usr/local/bin/moonlight /usr/local/share/moonlight/ /usr/local/etc/moonlight.conf /usr/local/lib/libgamestream* /usr/local/lib/libmoonlight* /usr/local/share/man/man1/moonlight.1
sudo ldconfig
sudo reboot

Afterwards its as easy as following the Wiki guide: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-embedded/wiki/Packages
