What is the expected result?

My stream should begin

What happens instead of that?

Steam is launched on host PC but I am getting that failed to open vchiq instance. I see there is an AmLogic platform for Moonlight however when I run moonlight stream -platform aml it kicks back Platform 'aml' not found. Are these two problems related? How do I get the aml platform? Is there a better method to running Moonlight on an S905X chip? I've spent days researching this and everything I've come up with is from years ago where functionality has changed or unrelated to my specific problem. Thanks in advance.

I only have experience from OSMC and the Vero4(+), where we compiled it but had to exchange some libs. See the wiki. Since you are using another OS i don't know the unique names for the same libs in your OS.

Another thing i notice that after "make install", even after ldconfig and reboot, somehow moonlight binary installed in path can't find the aml-lib. So I made this filestructure:. And it runs for me, platform=aml in moonlight.conf.
