      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

              It works.

              Thank you for your fast solution.

                  @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.

                                    @hhromic It worked ! I now see them in my steam folder.

                                      Let me understand your issue first. You have two .ml config files like this (maybe you have address in them if you are not using autodiscovery):

                                      A Steam.ml file:

                                      config = /opt/retropie/configs/all/moonlight/global.conf
app = Steam

                                      And a The Witcher 3.ml file:

                                      config = /opt/retropie/configs/all/moonlight/global.conf
app = The Witcher 3

                                      Then, when you launch The Witcher 3.ml directly, your controller doesn't work. But if you launch Steam.ml and inside Big Picture Mode you launch the game, it works. Is this the case?

                                      Thanks for testing!

                                        Great to hear! Yes, go enjoy some game streaming :). If you are also testing Steam Link, it would be very interesting to hear your experiences on both streaming technologies. They work differently internally so is not necessary one is better than the other. Cheers!

                                          @hhromic Correct!

                                            @jml I see, then is very weird what is happening as both files seem normal. Can you please get the log in /dev/shm/runcommand.log for each case? Just start the session, try the game, close the streaming session and then grab the log.
                                            Also, does this happen only with The Witcher 3? Thanks for testing!
