Download and install the package:

Hi guys, here is the new updated package for moonlight-embedded it now supports the new Go Super and has a tearing fix, soon the source code is also available which wasn't back with the first release
I am super excited about this release on the new Go Super because streaming with this device is really great fun and works almost with ZERO LAG 🏍❤

This debian package release is for the HK Ubuntu 18.04 bionic image and should be tested there https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid_go_advan ... /ubuntu_es

>>>> Download moonlight-embedded 2.4.11 <<<<

Code: Select all

sudo apt install pulseaudio
echo "autospawn=no" >> /home/odroid/pulse/client.conf

wget https://www.areascout.at/libsdl2_2.0.10_arm64.deb
wget https://www.areascout.at/moonlight-embedded_2.4.11-1_arm64.deb

sudo apt install ./libsdl2_2.0.10_arm64.deb
sudo apt install ./moonlight-embedded_2.4.11-1_arm64.deb

Copy the contents of the moonlight.tgz file underneath to your /etc/emulationstation/themes/es-theme-simple directory

Edit the file /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and add this content:

Code: Select all

	<system>
		<name>moonlight</name>
		<fullname>Moonlight Game Streaming</fullname>
		<path>/opt/moonlight</path>
		<extension>.sh</extension>
		<command>%ROM%</command>
		<platform></platform>
		<theme>moonlight</theme>
	</system>

Generate a folder with this path /opt/moonlight and generate a file with the name "Start Game Stream.sh" and place this content inside and give 0755 permissions to that file:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
pulseaudio --start
moonlight stream 192.168.1.2 -app Steam -fps 30 -720 -platform rk -mapping /usr/local/share/moonlight/gamecontrollerdb.txt -codec h265 -bitrate 15000
pulseaudio --kill

If your graphic card does not support h265 codec please choose h264 with the codec option, also this build has two video backends (sdl and rk) if you want to test streaming with sdl2 just replace rk with sdl on the -platform option switch ( rk aka RockChip is fastest ! )
Also the IP address should be exchanged to the one from your PC

Pair with your computer:

Code: Select all

moonlight pair 192.168.1.2

Follow the on screen instructions

Now you can start streaming from within Emulationstation the Steam App is the default App from the script which is started and from there you can run all your games from your Steam Library (see first picture)

Have fun streaming

I can't believe there's no comments on this. Awesome work!

Idk that much about compiling, will there be ready to go image?

It's in the instructions

Just do this from the stock ES image:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install pulseaudio
echo "autospawn=no" >> /home/odroid/pulse/client.conf

wget https://www.areascout.at/libsdl2_2.0.10_arm64.deb
wget https://www.areascout.at/moonlight-embedded_2.4.11-1_arm64.deb

sudo apt install ./libsdl2_2.0.10_arm64.deb
sudo apt install ./moonlight-embedded_2.4.11-1_arm64.deb

It's really awesome! The only reason I think a number of people haven't used it more is because they are on other images or they don't know how to add this themselves. When Crash ends up getting the GUI implemented and fixes some QoL stuff I'd definitely consider switching to the stock image, especially with his streaming netplay (Retroarchs can break at any given time as most devs bump to the newest versions). I would really get use out of this moonlight port though. Seems like it would be great on the new Super version of the OGA with twin sticks and a bigger screen. No analog triggers....but that's OK -- most handhelds don't.

There's a number of cool things other images provide though right now out of the box (and that's the point of other custom images). Front end music, a number of ports (and other emulators like drastic, dosbox, etc), huge level of customization for shaders (great for GBA and older LCD displays), controls, looks, etc. I'm really interested to see what Crash ends up providing for a GUI.

I'd love to see moonlight on other images too. I'm hopeful the Batocera team can make it viable on the OGA, like all their other supported platforms. Apart from game streaming, front end video and music playback are really the only others things I desire out of this handheld -- and some images are about there with it, just not a priority.

Yes it is, I am very proud of the Rockchip video backend in moonlight-embedded, for my personal experience it's the fastest compared to RPi and Amlogic, it does zero copy from video decoder to video output processor without any tearing and works extremely well and is a huge device upgrade. And yes, on images like EmuELEC, Batocera etc. it's not easy for someone other than the team behind it to install it.

I also agree with that, I love the look and easy handling of Batocera and EmuELEC hope to see it too on there images

The downside is, if you don't own a NVIDIA GPU you can't use it, while the steam link app on Google play store can stream from multiple GPU brands, but sadly it's not open source you would have to install Android and try it from there

Sunshine could be an option for people who don’t have nvidia https://github.com/loki-47-6F-64/sunshine

[AreaScout]

@Shoesy

Thank you for the link ! Very interesting, didn't know that

[Shoesy]

Couldn’t get it to work on my Windows virtual machine, might try a Ubuntu system on a stick at some point...

[AreaScout]

The sunshine project uses a higher version of the moonlight-common-c core library which uses enet (a thin network communication layer on top of UDP), moonlight-embedded on the other side hasn't updated the submodule yet, so that could be the problem why it does not work on your setup

I know it's not open source -- but I imagine there would be ways someone could make Parsec work based on these other builds. How usable though? I use Parsec for remote desktop and gaming. With Parsec, there's also the advantage of another user (player 2-4) joining a streamed session much like Steam's remote play together and the streaming service Crash seems to have implemented.
