Hi.

LibreELEC repository for S805 stopped working also all S805 addon files from kszaq/addon site have been deleted

Does anyone have a mirror for this ?

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

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 !!!

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

Will continue to investigate.

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.

I am not sure how to properly build the package... so did it in a very quick-and -dirty way...

I fixed the pakage.mk to both moonlight-common-c & moonlight-embedded to download the latest:

PKG_VERSION="master"

PKG_URL="https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded/archive/$PKG_VERSION.zip" (for common-c it's a different URL of course)

Then i had to recreate the two moonlight-embedded patches to work with the updated CmakeLists.txt.

After that I ran "PLATFORM=S905 ARCH=arm scripts/build moonlight-embedded"

This created the compiled files inside a hidden directory under build-Libreeles..S905 / moonlight-embedded/.aml... (not at home so don't remember the exact names)

I just copied all the contents to the "downloads" directory on my S905, moved the required libraries in the same directory as the executable and ran it.

I need someone with some C knowledge to have a peek at moonlight sources and check if I had a build env problem (Amlogic platform was not included ?) and try to figure out why the resulting binary fails to detect any platform...

If we can get moonlight (any version) to accept "-platform aml" and see the error we make progress...

I managed (i think) to build the latest moonlight-common-c & moonlight-embedded from github-master

Now, testing on my S905 I see the "-platform" option does exist:

LibreELEC-LR:~/downloads # ./moonlight

Moonlight Embedded 2.4.0

Usage: moonlight [action] (options) [host]

moonlight [configfile]

-audio <device> Use <device> as audio output device

Use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q or Play+Back+LeftShoulder+RightShoulder to exit streaming session

But now moonlight does not seem to detect ANY platform:

LibreELEC-LR:~/downloads # ./moonlight stream 192.168.1.100

Connect to 192.168.1.100...

Platform 'auto' not found

LibreELEC-LR:~/downloads # ./moonlight stream -platform aml 192.168.1.100

Connect to 192.168.1.100...

Platform 'aml' not found

It is maybe a problem with my build ?

A obvious difference between the versions this:

original:

LibreELEC-LR:~/downloads # moonlight

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

latest:

LibreELEC-LR:~/downloads # ./moonlight

Moonlight Embedded 2.4.0

Usage: moonlight [action] (options) [host]

moonlight [configfile]

You can see there is nothing printed here after the 2.4.0 version (EMEDDED;AML etc..)

Since i am no developer, I need some help with this...

It DOES indeed work on s805 MXQ

Here it is running:

So CvH - Amlogic S805 definetley works, and very well in fact. 1080@60 gaming over LAN is very smooth.

It is really cool to be able to stream my games to the same box running Libreelec in my living room.

Now, we just need to pass the love to S905

I opened an issue over at moonlight-embedded github and got this reply from irtimmer :

"It looks like the S905 build can't get access to the video decoder. Try to run with the option -platform aml to force the correct video output instead of SDL and hopefully get some more meaningful error message."

But when trying this on my S905 i get an error that "aml" is an unknown platform...

But the moonlight version from kszaq repo is only 2.2.2 (I think latest is 2.4)

I have now downloaded Libreelec sources and am trying to compile the latest moonlight-embedded code but i am no developer and it's my first time will take some time...

Any help welcome. Thanks.

Sure.

Index of /s805/8.0.2a/

I have the MXQ model.

Hi all.

Struggling with the same issue myself...

I have two amlogic boxes S805 and S905 both running kszaq krypton builds.

On the S805 (latest 8.0.2a build, moonlight installed from kszaq repository) moonlight is working just fine.

On the S905 (latest 8.0.2a build, moonlight installed from kszaq repository) I get the same annoying "Could not initialize SDL - SDL not built with video support"...

Tried manually installing the S805 moonlight zip on the S905 but am getting the same error...

From kszaq's reply on the main forum there should not be any significant difference between the builds:

"S805 and S905 builds have pretty much the same config and they follow official LE builds."

Can anyone suggest what can be the difference preventing moonlight from working on S905 ?

Quote from kayman1021

Hello kszaq!

I've been using your images for a while, thank you for developing them. It is actually my first post in this forum.

I have 2 identical MX III S905 2GB mem boxes with Gigabit wired. Recently I've bought an GTX 1060 card for my main PC, which makes available to stream the desktop and/or the games from it to the boxes trough an addon called moonlight.

I have only tried it on LE8 versions, but no luck so far. I attached today's debug kodi.log and some command line outputs from ssh.

When i try to pair with my PC from GUI it shows the confirmation code
When code typed into pc, box throws an error: Failed to pair to server, try again.

Strangely, i can pair them trough commandline. Sadly the stream cannot be started, SDL is not build with video support.

This week i tried to build the image from your git multiple times. I've modified the SDL2 .mk file, enabled video and video-opengles.
I used an up-to-date Ubuntu server 16.04 in Virtualbox, but builds always fail somewhere in media_build.

Is there a magic trick to build you image apart from "PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm tools/download-tool" and "PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make image"?

Thanks in advance

Encountering the same issues trying to get moonlight running on my S905 box.

The pairing seems to be a moonlight bug, but workaround using commandline is good enough (since it's a one time thing).

I managed to get moonlight working on an S805 box since the compilation there seems to already include SDL video support !

kszaq (Great work you are amazing !!!) is there any reason why the S905 builds are missing SDL video support by default ?

kayman1021

Did you manage to compile a version with SDL video support?

Thanks !
