[rpi2 addon] moonlight wont launch

    hi yall


    there's a moonlight OE addon... that doesn't work in LE.


    GitHub - dead/script.moonlight: Moonlight-embedded Addon for Openelec


    its saying something about files in /home/chewitt/ ... that why im thinking there's a bug ? like the python path is not set right ?


    perhaps the issue is much deeper ? if the team thinks this is more a featureReqeust (to fork this for LE & add to LE repo) please move this thread.

    The add-on has some libs with some linking problems.


    Unfortunately the author has built the add-on poorly so it cannot be easily updated as the git repo contains pre compiled binaries.


    Make an issue report on their github.

    How should I do to make the addon easy to update? What is the best way to mantain a addon that has binary dependencies? (And support other devices)
    I'm kinda new to Kodi and Openelec/Libreelec so I really don't know

    You need to cross compile the dependencies by using our build system. Look at any of the add-ons we currently compile.


    I can help you with this if you'd like as it looks like you depend on a couple things (moonlight, opus)

    I'd appreciate some help! Have no ideia where start... (package.mk?) And how I should handle dependencies that are specific for a device?

    I've made all the changes necessary. I'm just going to test and make some commits then I'll upload the sources soon.


    Also, is there any reason you run this as a service? To me it looks like you should just call the shell script from within python.

    The main reason is that moonlight doesn't work with kodi running, if I run the script from python, when kodi is stopped it will kill the script (and moonlight).

    What doesn't work exactly? video or audio?

    Video certainly doesn't work, audio and input I'm not sure...
    And how do I build the addon? I have to build the entire Libreelec? And how I can release it? D: (Found here: LibreELEC)

    Yes when the addon shows up in the repo


    I tried the addon by building it for my build. It's a generic one with an ATI HD5850. It works, but the video decoding is buggy. Lots of artifacts and there's no way to remove them even if i change the bitrate settings and the force video acceleration setting.


    Is it normal?
