      @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.

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

              @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 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 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 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.

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

                              @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.

                                  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?

                                    @hhromic for the model 1708 (latest party includes bluetooth by default) first of all must disable ertm via editing autostart.sh. after that pairing succes but can't use properly. I noticed this on the kodi. may u know kodi uses xbox input by dafault. when i try the use my gamepad any button doesnt make any thing. after playin witcher 3 via moonlight i had some error again. after i tried to remap it via your guide and when it says for example press x i pressed x but noting happened. it came to me like a typical driver problem, searched for xpad and i saw xpadneo... you know after that it worked perfectly even in kodi.

                                        Tried this yesterday and it worked pretty well - great work! I had a bit of trouble with the config generation and I had to re-pair once for the streaming to start working (no idea why, it just didn't work the first time around even though it paired just fine with the pin).

                                        Concerning the script generation, It worked well the first time I initiated it. But when I tried to regenerate them, it just froze and I had to ctrl+c it to get back to the menu. I then had to reboot the system, then remove the pairing and redo the pairing in order to be able to regenerate them again it seemed. Or maybe it just needed to be rebooted (I did both since I couldn't get it to start anything, just got a blank screen). I had trouble getting things to start on my Steam computer. It wasn't until I paired it for the second time it would launch Steam for me when I chose the Steam ml script.

                                        Another note: Skyscraper now supports the steam platform and the *.ml for all platforms in case people want to scrape these scripts. It's in Skyscraper 3.1.2.

                                          Hey,

                                          it's been a while but the DualShock 3 issue I reported a long while ago was now solved in SDL2 itself:
                                          https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/issues/247#issuecomment-473724813

                                          So do you think using this database as a source of gamecontrollerdb.txt instead of having one included in the scriptmodule can work? Last time you said it's an OK idea.
