Moonlight Addon on OdroidC2

seppel · December 8, 2016 at 9:27 AM

Hi,

I last tried this with 7.90.008 Alpha

i want to use the moonlight addon on my Odroid C2 with NVIDIA Gamestream on my Windows PC.
It is possible to get the devices paired and i am able to see the available games.

But when i start a game via moonlight addon i get a black screen and nothing happens - the only thing i can do is a hard reset then.
The game starts on my windows pc.

Does anyone know how to get this addon working on OdroidC2? If needed, i can provide some logs this evenig or tomorrow evening.

Greetings

Unfortunately, it seems like moonlight is only supported on the raspberry pi and x86. The addon has functioned this way, since its inception and requests for s905 support have been ignored every time this subject has been raised.

Not true, It is supported on AML also, however I don't have a windows PC so I cannot actually test the add-on, I can only make sure it builds for all platforms.

I don't think it's properly compiled for AML

relevant info can be found on this Odroid Forums thread.particularly:

Running it from a SSH session yields the following:
LibreELEC:~/.kodi/addons/script.moonlight/bin # moonlight list
Moonlight Embedded 2.2.0 (EMBEDDED;PULSE;CEC;AML)
Platform 'default' not found

LibreELEC:~/.kodi/addons/script.moonlight/bin # moonlight --platform aml list
Moonlight Embedded 2.2.0 (EMBEDDED;PULSE;CEC;AML)
Platform 'aml' not found

You're on an old version, which add-on version are you using?

I'm on the most recent version according to the repository, 7.0

According to the file:
/storage/.kodi/addons/script.moonlight/addons.xml

Hi,

i just wanted to check out which version of moonlight will be used in 7.90.009.
Seems like moonlight as addon is removed now - i cant find it.

script.moonlight was waiting on an upstream fix since the recent major repo and libCEC changes. It's in the repo now.

fTdOmen · December 10, 2016 at 8:25 PM

Neat, just updated to the latest version, "8.1.103". It's definitely compiled correctly for AML now

It now appears the issue is that pairing doesn't seem to actually work.

I'll need to track down if it's on LE or windows side before submitting log files when I have time.

i just tried this, but i get the black screen again (as described in first post).
there was no need to pair the devices again because it seems that my old settings were not deleted.
is there anything i can do to help?

To pair your devices again, on your windows pc, in the GeForce experience there will be an option to "Forget Devices". I can't tell you exactly where it is on version 3 sorry, as I'm currently using a version 2 release whilst I try different configs in an attempt to work out what's going wrong, but it'll probably be somewhere in the Preferences > SHIELD menus.

What's interesting to me is that no matter which version of Nvidia Geforce Experience I run, I don't quite get the same result as you.

For me:
I can pair devices
I can browse my games list
When I attempt to run a game, the C2 becomes unresponsive (not a black screen).
The game is not launched on my windows pc.
I need to hard reset in order to regain use of the C2.

Your Logfiles may be helpful.

JOWU

Start at

20:15:28.247 T:546009907424 DEBUG: UpdateAudioSystemStatus - CEC capable amplifier found (Audio). volume will be controlled on the amp
Thats right after reboot and then i directly start moonlight with game witcher3.

Notice: My C2 is NOT unresponsive with this black screen. I can connect via SSH - but thats all. Seems like kodi crashed or moonlight hangs "above" all other applications.

I further noticed, that not every game starts properly.

Kodi log file is useless because moonlight stop kodi.

Try running moonlight from an ssh session after stopping kodi

Code

systemctl stop kodi

seppel · December 11, 2016 at 10:15 PM

odroidc2:~/.kodi/addons/script.moonlight/bin # moonlight stream -720 -60fps -for - Pastebin.com

dont know if use the same arguments as the kodi plugin. screen stays black.

Edit:
Have a look at this thread:
ODROID Forum • View topic - Moonlight Black Screen
Maybe the information provided in this thread may help you. But it seems like the "EVIOCGRAB failed with error 16" error is not solved there.

Can you try without -forcehw and -forcehevc

seppel · December 12, 2016 at 9:06 AM

odroidc2:~ # moonlight stream -720 -60fps -app witcher3 192.168.178.36 Moonligh - Pastebin.com

moonlight does something all the time - until i send ^C
black screen again.

Hey!

I tried moonlight via the addon on my generic machine. It pairs well, I get a list of games. When I select one, kodi crashes after 5 seconds and then restarts. The service.log file says

Quote

SDL: could not create window - exiting

When I try to start it manually via the command line, pair it and try "moonlight stream", I get the same error message.

Anything new on this?
My last status is, that pairing is failing here now too with 7.90.010.
