      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.
                                  Thanks once more for your help, I'll come back here if I ever have something to report, but in the meantime, I'm gonna enjoy some PC-gaming action in couch mode :)

                                    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!

                                            Hi,

                                            So I just tried using the script today to redo a full installation of RetroPie 4.4 and Moonlight on Raspberry 3, and gotta say that everything worked like a charm.
                                            The script is installed super-easily, and runs without issue. I got moonlight installed and (some of) my games automatically imported in a breeze. A few improvements/remarks though :

                                            • Only bug I am experiencing : I use moonlight to do some Remote Desktop too (using mstsc.exe as an app on available Shield applications), and once I quit it by doing Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Q, and when I go back to my pc, all the controls are messed up. My PC keyboard doesn't work anymore and the mouse buttons are acting weird. Also the sound doesn't work as it stays on "Nvidia Speakers", instead of my "Realtek high Definition" drivers. Maybe some controller mapping that is not correctly refreshed ?
                                            • Not sure if it is in the gui config, but it would be great to have a global.conf "autoconfigurator". By that I mean, at the end of the installation, or in the GUI it would be nice to have something where you can say "Ok I want 1920x10806fps" fast and easy. Not critical though since you can do this by editing the conf file manually. But still, would be cool to have.
                                            • Finally, one concern about the actual script. I don't know how the moonlight-embedded github is moderated in terms of merges in the default branch, but using it as the source of this script by default might be a quite "ballsy" move, as you may sometimes fetch buggy code. Also, it will make it really hard for anyone using this script to debug their bugs, as they will have no idea which version of moonlight-embedded they have fetched. Keeping an option in the script to compile from last sources known is super cool, and it is really helpful right now as there is no official release of moonlight-embedded to match the current Geforce Experience version. But I don't think it should be the default choice, or at least let people choose if they want the last release known from apt-get (or the last release on the git repo)

                                            But really, awesome work man, it's a really great tool and works perfectly well ! Will surely continue using and keeping an eye on its development.
