      @psyke83 I installed the complete xorg package (which turned out to be the legacy one) at one time but never enabled GL. The only xorg stuff I have installed now are through whatever the steamlink app installs.

        Problem solved for real. Not sure what it was since I got sick of changing permissions for xorg-related folders with no results. I changed the dev folder's permission and everything in it and that did it.

          SteamLink was updated to 1.1.30:
          https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/6/3362406825533076063/
          Will it be updated in RetroPie too?

            @Swampy steamlink is installed from the Raspbian repositories, so whenever the update is released on their repositories, it will be available for update in RetroPie also.

              You're right - keeping in mind that, similar to the Linux .deb for steam, the package functions only as a bootstrapper to fetch the latest release during launch.

              Unfortunately, the bootstrapper also handles dependency resolution which usually requires user input to confirm via command-line when new packages are to be installed; the effect would be that you'd be stuck on the runcommand dialog.

              The new release doesn't seem to have this problem, but it can potentially happen in future. If/when it does, I'll add the dependencies to the scriptmodule.

                @thezoof Hi, having the same issue, I am pretty newb when it comes to Rpi script editing , but I added "steamlink" and "streaming_client" to the list of emulators in the music.py, and have reset the system and disabled/enabled audio and no luck for me. How do I rerun the script? Thanks.

                  I think it's just called "steam"

                    The controller doesn't work in emulationstation any more after exiting steamlink inside. This happens since the latest update of steamlink. I don't know weather it is a problem with RetroPie or steamlink. Steamlink installs new udev rules. Perhaps, this could be the problem.

                    I mentioned the problem in the steamlink forum too:

                      For now I have downgraded to version 1.1.45.105:

                      STEAMLINK_DATA_HOME="${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/SteamLink
                      echo "file://$STEAMLINK_DATA_HOME" >"$STEAMLINK_DATA_HOME/update_url"
                      echo "http://media.steampowered.com/steamlink/rpi/steamlink-rpi3-1.1.45.105.tar.gz" >"$STEAMLINK_DATA_HOME/public_build.txt"
                      

                      seen in https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/6/1660069015242109357/
                      and in https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/6/3681064390585946947/

                      Then I also added " --skip-update" in the last line after "/usr/bin/steamlink" in "/opt/retropie/ports/steamlink/steamlink_xinit.sh".

                      Now it works again for me.

                          Has anyone had any issues with audio?

                          My audio seems to work on launch of steamlink. Then stops suddenly during a game.

                          It seems to mute the volume during the game. Easy enough to put back on the laptop... But can't seem to do it in game? Can anyone help?
