Shutdown client machine via moonlight #1162

thomasfjen commented 10 months ago

I'm currently using Moonlight on a htpc with linux, as it's mostly controlled with a controller it would be nice to be able to shutdown the client machine within moonlight. I prefer using a htpc as it has the lowest encoding time, but you're sometimes required to pickup the keyboard. I currently start the machine with wol and have moonlight configured as autostart in fullscreen mode.

Describe the solution you'd like A Button/Option to shutdown the client controllable with the gamepad, similiar to the gamepad ui of steam.

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently i use home assistant to execute a ssh command to shut down the client machine. But it's a hassle to configure and a simple button would help. I also use home assistant to start the machine, but wol is much easier to configure than ssh shutdown.

You can set commands in Sunshine settings for when streaming an app starts/ends, the downside is that quiting the stream requieres you to close the running app too to get the command executed. adding a custom app/game with shoutdown commands is also an option

@apoklyps3 I think you misunderstood the issue: it’s about shutting down the client (with moonlight on it), not the host (with sunshine).

I’m in the same boat as the OP. I worked around it by adding a shutdown via ssh button to my already existing node-red server.
