SteamLink for Raspberry Pi Released

Darksavior

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:

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 added "steamlink" and "streaming_client" to the list of emulators in the music.py

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.

The problem is solved with the newest version 1.1.50.

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?
