      The XU4 leverages the following:

      Samsung Exynos 5422 4-cores ARM Cortex-A15 @2.0GHz
      and 4-cores ARM Cortex-A7 @1.4GHz CPU

          First of all, thank you for your afford.

          I have tested your script with a Raspberry Pi 3b+ and the recent RetroPie release.
          It works.

          I only realised a little problem:

          If I start your script within RetroPie-Setup and try to pair, it doesn't show me the PIN for connecting to the remote host.
          Only after I abort the dialogue box with the question for the PIN in the remote host, it shows me the PIN.

          If I start it manually with "sudo ./retropie_packages.sh moonlight gui " it works.

          Linux is like wigwam: no Gates, no Windows and Apache inside.

            @Swampy Try replacing, in the function exec_moonlight from the scriptmodule, the line:

            sudo -u $user "$md_inst/moonlight.sh" "$@"
            

            with:

            sudo -u $user "$md_inst/moonlight.sh" "$@" > /dev/tty < /dev/tty
            

            and see if starting the GUI from the setup script works for pairing.

              @Swampy thanks for testing! I'm happy the scriptmodule is working for you as well.

              Interesting little bug you found there indeed. I admit I mostly test using retropie_packages.sh and I assumed the main GUI would just work, hence didn't notice that behaviour.

              The suggestion from @mitu makes sense and should work. I can't test at the moment but also will check it and report back/fix the issue.

                I confirm the issue and implemented a fix now, thanks @Swampy for reporting and @mitu for the solution suggestion!

                @Swampy , please update the scriptmodule and try again, should work fine now.

                @mitu , I didn't modify the line you suggest because it interferes with other parts of the scriptmodule (e.g. the gen_configs function). Instead I put the redirections on the affected calls from the gui function (pair/unpair calls). Thanks for the pointer anyway, was helpful!

                  Warning
                  The latest Nvidia GeForce Experience (GFE) driver released on Nov 19, 2018 just broke streaming foor the current version of moonlight. A fix is already proposed but not yet merged in upstream moonlight repository.
                  The issue is reported here: https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded/issues/705

                  The affected GFE version is:
                  GFE 3.16.0.122 (gs_04_11_25137997, 7.1.411.0)

                  I will try to backport the fix until it is merged upstream.

                    Update
                    A temporary patch to fix compatibility with GFE 3.16 is now included in the moonlight scriptmodule. Just repatch and rebuild moonlight and streaming should work fine in GFE 3.16 again.
                    I sent a PR now to upstream moonlight, hopefully it gets merged soon: https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-common-c/pull/1

                      Update
                      The fix was solved upstream now (that was quick!). The temporary patch is now dropped as is no longer needed. Moonlight is again working fine with GFE 3.16

                            @hhromic I've finally got a go at it, but sadly I've still encountered errors at the generation of files (yeah, it's a bit long...) :

                            But that's minor, and from what I've tested lately it works great.

                            Now I'm gonna check out that Steam Link integration and see how it fares compared to moonlight !

                              @hhromic Just pulled in the patch on the latest versions of everything, and was able to build, and then set up via:

                              sudo ./retropie_packages.sh moonlight gui
                              

                              It worked great (and also let me easily build the current upstream HEAD so that the latest GFE would work)!

                              I ran into 2 minor issues, which were user error, and possibly something to note in case someone else runs into it as well. I had initially set up moonlight via this script. I needed to do both of the following options from that script to have the scriptmodule versions show up in RetroPie instead:

                              3: Remove Launch Scripts
                              7: Refresh SYSTEMS Config File
                              

                              Other than that, things are working great! A quick feature request would be to build moonlights configuration options into runcommand (bitrate, fps, width and height, etc.) . It would be reallyslick to be able to change those settings on the fly, to be able to find the best settings without having to leave your seat / controller.

                                @LeSabotageur the issue you are experiencing is very puzzling, shouldn't happen at all. I would like to get to the bottom of your issue to make sure is not an overlooking in the scriptmodule :)

                                Can you please run these commands and report back the output for each?

                                $ git -C $HOME/RetroPie-Setup log --oneline -n 10
                                $ ls -la $HOME/RetroPie/roms
                                $ ls -la $HOME/RetroPie/roms/steam
                                $ /opt/retropie/supplementary/moonlight/moonlight.sh list
                                

                                Thanks a lot for testing and giving positive feedback! Moonlight is a great game streaming client.

                                @jml , also thanks for the testing ! I'm glad you are happy with the scriptmodule state and enjoying moonlight so far. Indeed users should clean any previous moonlight scripts/installations.

                                Regarding your suggestion with runcommand, unfortunately it doesn't have any programming API or extensibility to implement such features from this scriptmodule. However, if you are not afraid of the console, what you can do it so generate a set of configurations for testing and put them in a subfolder inside the steam folder. For example something like this:

                                $ DIR=$HOME/RetroPie/roms/steam/testing
                                $ mkdir -p $DIR
                                $ for fps in 30 60; do for bitrate in 5000 10000 15000; do cat > $DIR/launch-$fps-$bitrate.ml << _EOF_; done; done
                                config = /opt/retropie/configs/all/moonlight/global.conf
                                fps = $fps
                                bitrate = $bitrate
                                app = Steam
                                _EOF_
                                

                                If you get the idea, you can further create combinations for width/height parameters too. After this, you will have all these options launchable from EmulationStation for quick testing in a testing subfolder under the steam system, alongside your normal configs.

                                    @LeSabotageur except for the permissions of the .ml files, that shouldn't need to be 755, everything seems it should work.

                                    However, I just had a hunch. Are you using Samba to mount the roms folder from a WIndows share? Windows doesn't like : characters indeed.
                                    Can you please give me the output of this command:

                                    $ mount
                                    

                                    Thanks for testing! We will get to the bottom of this mystery.

                                      @hhromic I think that's it, because my roms folder is actually on a HDD with a FAT32 partition. I'm not that well-versed in linux or in partition type, but that might be the problem here. Anyway, here's the output :

                                        Bingo! That's the problem, yes. Your $HOME/RetroPie folder is indeed mounted on a vfat (FAT32) partition instead of the home ext4 partition. Good, we found the cause!
                                        I will think on a solution to keep this scenario happy. I don't want to simply remove the : characters as they are nice for the filesystems that do support them. When I have something I will come back, thanks!

                                          @LeSabotageur ok I think I solved it now for you. Can you update your local moonlight scriptmodule patch?

                                          What it is doing now is to check if the rom directory filesystem supports special characters. If this is the case then no mangling is done (for example for ext4 partitions). On the other hand, for these filesystems that do not support special characters (for example for vfat partitions), then these are removed from the config filename. In any case the value given to appin the config is always the full name given in your GFE configuration, so all should work.

                                          Let me know if you can generate your config files now. Thanks for the testing, I would never have noticed this by myself as I don't use vfat partitions for my roms :)

                                            @hhromic: Did some more testing, and noticed a slight oddity. When loading The Witcher 3 from the autogenerated .ml file, the controller no longer works. If I load up Steam first, and then The Wither 3 from there, everything works. Let me know if you've got any logs you'd like me to grab / need any other info.
