Moonlight Screen Rotation

Applepie2

@mitu I've managed to launch Moonlight directly from the .sh file, although I did have to edit the -config parameter slightly from how it appeared in the runcommand.log. Instead of passing in "/home/pi$, I had to include the full path to the config for it to successfully launch ("/home/pi/.config/moonlight/global.conf").

The -verbose flag worked successfully, please find the full verbose log here:

@mitu If I posted it as a guest post it kept getting auto-removed, so I tried to post it through my account instead and it appears that has triggered moderation.

I'm guessing it is some of the game names in the xml tags that might be causing issues. I've removed the xml tags relating to my desktop PC system, steam and game names. Where these have been removed I've just replaced them with <REDACTED>.

Hopefully this version is accessible:

@Applepie2 Yes, it's accessible now, though unfortunately I don't see anything related to rotation there, just the messages regarding the viewport (wxh@fps). It does detect the correct platform (Pi).

Can you try adding -rotation 90 parameter to the command line and see if it works this way ?

Applepie2

@mitu I try to use either a parameter -rotation 90 or --rotation 90 to the command line, then it tries to connect to an ip address of 90. Sadly, I don't think rotation is supported that way.

mitu

@Applepie2 Try with -rotate 90.

Applepie2

@mitu You've got it! That did the trick!

~~Do you know which file calls this, so I can permenantly add the -rotate 90 parameter?~~

EDIT: Turns out the parameter for the config is (of course) also just called rotate rather than rotation. Just double checked their GitHub again and their example config definitely has the wrong parameter.

Thanks again for all your help!

Good find ! It will need to be corrected.

@mitu I've raised this as an issue on their repository, hopefully they will correct their example before too long. Thank you again for your assistance in this matter.

I meant to send a PR myself, but looks like the Github's web interface didn't go through with it. I've amended their Wiki page with the command line options and sent a small PR to fix the sample .conf from the repository.
