Update

Recently, preliminary rumble support was added to Moonlight in upstream!
To give it a try, just re-build Moonlight from source using this scriptmodule :)

Silent

@hhromic Thanks! Now scraping works well as usual :D
I even managed to scrape streamed PS2 games from screenscraper by giving them sha1 hashes manually, good stuff :)

hhromic

@Silent I'm glad it's finally working good for you and probably others too!
I think now is time to graduate the scriptmodule to the Official RP repo :)
Any other further issue you would like to report?

Silent

Seems all good now! I was unable to get rumble working with my DualShock 3 yet, but naturally that's nothing a scriptmodule can do :D

As far as I can tell, it should be good to be merged! I am able to use it both for "steam" and "ps2" platforms just fine myself. Time to say goodbye to limelight.

Hi,
I can not start steam in big picture mode, it comes back in emulationstation.

my Steam.ml file:

config = /opt/retropie/configs/all/moonlight/global.conf
address = 192.168.1.3

What's the problem?

hhromic

@WarC0zes thanks for testing.

To further debug, can you please give the contents of the /dev/shm/runcommand.log file just after it goes back to emulationstation? It might be a long file so please use pastebin or similar.

@hhromic

My runcommand.log :

Parameters: 
Executing: /opt/retropie/supplementary/moonlight/moonlight.sh stream -config "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/steam/Steam.ml"
Can't open configuration file: /opt/retropie/configs/all/moonlight/global.conf

my global.conf :

# global config file for moonlight
quitappafter = true
width = 1920
height = 1080
fps = 60
bitrate = 20000

my global.conf file is in /opt/retropie/configs/all/moonlight/

@WarC0zes said in moonlight: request for comments and testing:

Can't open configuration file

That's very weird indeed. Can you please show the output of:

ls -la /opt/retropie/configs/all/moonlight

@WarC0zes umm.

Can you try executing it from the console intead of EmulationStation typing this directly:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/moonlight/moonlight.sh stream -config "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/steam/Steam.ml"

WarC0zes

@hhromic

pi@retropie:~ $ /opt/retropie/supplementary/moonlight/moonlight.sh stream -config "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/steam/Steam.ml"
Can't open configuration file: /opt/retropie/configs/all/moonlight/global.conf

hhromic

@WarC0zes very puzzling... let's try something more simple:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/moonlight/moonlight.sh stream -config /opt/retropie/configs/all/moonlight/global.conf

Can you also try typing it manually instead of copy/pasting, just in case?

WarC0zes

@hhromic

/opt/retropie/supplementary/moonlight/moonlight.sh stream -config /opt/retropie/configs/all/moonlight/global.conf

it works like that ^^

hhromic

@WarC0zes a-ha ! so we have a clue now.
Did you manually create the Steam.ml file in your $romdir/steam folder?
And if you did, you used your local computer and uploaded it there?

WarC0zes

@hhromic
Yes, i have manually create the Steam.ml file in my $romdir/steam folder.

hhromic

@WarC0zes ok as I thought :)

The problem are the line endings of the file you created. You must make sure your editor saves the file using unix line endings (\n) and not Windows nor Mac. Some editors such as notepad++ allow you to configure this.

An easy alternative is to create the files using nano in the same RetroPie console to ensure they have the proper unix line endings. You can also use the remote apps config file autogenerator included in the scriptmodule.

Let me know if that solved your issue.

WarC0zes

@hhromic
it was a space problem, you're right. Thanks

hhromic

@WarC0zes thanks for the feedback. I will be submitting this scriptmodule soon to official RetroPie :)

Here with a feedback. If you have a xbox one v1708 wireless controller and cant mapping it just remove xpad driver from retropie setup/manage packages/driver. Then install xpadneo driver from https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/. Now u can remap your controller using
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh moonlight exec map -input /dev/input/event2
command. Also this will solves same problem in kodi for me. I can use my controller correcctly now.

hhromic

@llamadestroyer thanks for the feedback!

The xpadneo driver doesn't seem to be part of RetroPie at the moment. It is the only way to use an XBox One controler on the Raspberry Pi?
