Moonlight Addon Amlogic

    Progress: I was able to start moonlight in the S905

    Unfortunately it seems its only software aceleration so it looks very bad, -platform aml still doesnt work even tho it is listed as available.

    Will keep working on this.

    edit: I found out we probably need libmoonlight-aml.so somewhere, but I am not sure where to put it so that moonlight can find it, I tried in the libs folder and it didn't work.

    That's great news !!

    Did you try putting it in the same dir as the binary ?

    On my S805 it is sitting under: ./storage/.kodi/addons/script.moonlight/lib/libmoonlight-aml.so

    I already saw you asked irtimmer over at github.

    Let's hope for the best.

    Yes and it didn't work.

    note that I didn't build it as an add-on so I might need to set up some configuration file that I missed, I will try again after work and see what I can find.

    I tried to add some basic debugging to moonlight-embedded src/platform.c

    #ifdef HAVE_AML

    if (std|| strcmp(name, "aml") == 0) {

    void *handle = dlopen("libmoonlight-aml.so", RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL);

    printf(handle);

    if (handle != NULL && access("/dev/amvideo", F_OK) != -1) {

    printf("Returning AML\n");

    return AML;

    }

    }

    the moment i added "printf(handle);" everyting started working !!!

    ./moonlight --verbose stream 192.168.1.100 -mapping /storage/.kodi/addons/script.moonlight/share/moonlight/mappings/xbox360.conf

    Problem now is I am getting a black screen instead of a stream....

    Will continue to investigate.

    I saw your post on github, and the same thing happens when I add that line.

    not sure why it is not loading the library. I've tried several other things but no luck :(

    Something is not building right...

    I went back to the original 2.2.2 package that comes from libreelec repository (moonlight-embedded-9301898) and added the following debug to platform.c:

    #ifdef HAVE_AML

    if (std|| strcmp(name, "aml") == 0) {

    void *handle = dlopen("libmoonlight-aml.so", RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL);

    printf("Handle error: %s\n", dlerror());

    printf("Access /dev/amvideo: %i\n", access("/dev/amvideo", F_OK));

    if (handle != NULL && access("/dev/amvideo", F_OK) != -1)

    return AML;

    }

    Got this:

    LibreELEC:~/downloads # ./moonlight stream -p aml

    Moonlight Embedded 2.2.2 (SDL;VDPAU;EMBEDDED;PULSE;CEC;AML)

    Handle error: /usr/lib/libamcodec.so: undefined symbol: codec_sw_decoder_set_ratio

    Access /dev/amvideo: 0

    Platform 'aml' not found

    This happens even if I build the whole libreelec image from the same sources I compiled moonlight...

    If I copy libamcodec.so from S805, moonlight starts with amlogic platform but nothing gets displayed to the screen..

    Guess i can't just copy a library like that..

    kszaq if you have a minute your insight would be greatly appreciated

    The libamcodec from the s805 is definitely not the same as the one on the s905, the s905 one being larger, so there is something in the build code somewhere that is changing how it works depending on what project you build, maybe not in the libamcodec package itself but on some dependency.

    Well I switched the package hash on the libamcodec and I used your debug code, this is what I got

    Code
    moonlight stream -verbose
Moonlight Embedded 2.4.0 (SDL;EMBEDDED;ALSA;PULSE;CEC;AML)
Searching for server...
Connect to 192.168.1.77...

Handle error: (null)
Access /dev/amvideo: 0
Platform AMLogic VPU

    so, it detects the correct platform, still black screen. and the /proc/$moonlight_pid/maps does show libamcodec as loaded.

    :(

    I upgraded manually coping /bin/ and /lib/

    Now I have : Moonlight Embedded 2.4.1

    Doesn't initialize due :

    Code
