      Hi

      I followed a 4 month old thread on here to install and try and get Moonlight up and running.

      I have managed to get everything paired and almost working however when i try and start moonlight either from SSH or Ports menu i get the following error.

      pi@retropie:~ $ moonlight streaming -app Steam 192.168.1.7 Moonlight Embedded 2.2.2 (EMBEDDED;PI)
      Connect to 192.168.1.7...
      NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, GFE 2.11.4.0 (protocol version 7)
      streaming is not a valid action

      Tells me streaming is not a valid option.

      Everything seems to be installed properly and has the correct permissions, the fact it tries to run tells me its almost there.

      Any ideas?

        the command for streaming is "stream" not "streaming" as you have it typed.

            I got it working, well i got my PC going to the Pi, but unlike limelight on android i cant see any of my games for some reason.

            I guess its because its running in STEAM mode? is there not a way to just run the games i have installed.

              you could add the game into steam even though it is not a steam game. in steam on your PC click "Games">"Add a non-steam game to my library"
