I've setup WireGuard with LibreELEC and it works good, even with a Rsp1 can handle traffic for a full HD movie without issues. The only problem that I found with the setup is that "Host = IP of the WireGuard server" - must be an IP not a hostname, it will not be resolved and no error is shown, just the traffic will not work... but my server does not have a 100% static IP so I used DDNS... anyway a quick solution is to have a script at startup that resolves the IP, writes it to the config file, resolves the connection name and finally starts the VPN connection.

This script will replace "your_hostname_to_server" string from wireguard.config.original into wireguard.config (so .original needs to be a complete config file except that instead of the server ip will have "your_hostname_to_server" which will be replaced

#!/bin/bash

#wait 10s for network... any ideas on how to fix this? :/
sleep 10

#resolve hostname to ip and save it in config file
SERVER_HOST="your_hostname_to_server"
SERVER_IP=$(getent hosts $SERVER_HOST | awk '{ print $1 }')
echo "Server host: $SERVER_HOST"
echo "Resolved server ip: $SERVER_IP"
sed "s/$SERVER_HOST/$SERVER_IP/g" /storage/.config/wireguard/wireguard.config.original > /storage/.config/wireguard/wireguard.config

#wait 1 sec for network name to be available
sleep 1

#list connections and select the one with Wireguard in name/description
VPN_CONNECTION_NAME=$(connmanctl services | grep 'WireGuard' | awk -F' ' '{print $NF}')
echo "VPN connection name: $VPN_CONNECTION_NAME"

#connect to VPN
connmanctl connect $VPN_CONNECTION_NAME

To disconnect another script is used

#!/bin/bash

#list connections and select the one with Wireguard in description
VPN_CONNECTION_NAME=$(connmanctl services | grep 'WireGuard' | awk -F' ' '{print $NF}') 
echo "VPN connection name: $VPN_CONNECTION_NAME"

#connect to VPN
connmanctl disconnect $VPN_CONNECTION_NAME

Finally in wireguard.service file instead of connect/disconnect commands, the scripts are called

ExecStart=/usr/bin/connmanctl connect vpn_service_name_goes_here
ExecStop=/usr/bin/connmanctl disconnect vpn_service_name_goes_here

changed to

ExecStart=/storage/.config/wireguard/connectVPN.sh
ExecStop=/storage/.config/wireguard/disconnectVPN.sh

In this case the scripts are in '/storage/.config/wireguard/' for sure there is a better place, but just to make it work, it's ok

Finally this is a quick & dirty solution to this Connman issue... by the way, anyone has any info on how to report a bug to Connman? I just found "You can report bugs at - 01.org JIRA" - but it seems that is a closed jira project and an account is needed to report the bug and an account can't be created by anyone new..

Any suggestions or a better solution would be greatly appreciated

Thank you, I'll try to dig more on the issue. By the way, the issue #58 was created by me, so yes I'm following it

I understand, I'll try to fix it, I want to use moonlight on my Amlogic device in the next room. I'll work with the moonlight-embedded team to see what it's wrong with the Amlogic codec. My question regarding Libreelec is why the library is not complete? In the repository there are deliberate actions to remove the amadec library and remove any link to it (I saw a sed command to remove a "-lamadec"). Why it was removed? It's not working on S905 or S912 systems? I also looked at OSMC repository and there the library is complete, everything is added. I can prepare a pull request to add amadec.so in the build, but I don't to break things :)) That's why I'm asking if anybody knows why amadec is deliberately removed from the build.

I'm trying to make moonlight work on an Amlogic S905 and found that the amcodec.so can't be loaded because it's missing amadec.so.

Running moonlight embedded on an Amlogic system with LibreElec (S905 in this case) the libmoonlight-aml.so is not loaded because libamcodec si not complete in LibreElec. I've added a print with dlerror and it returns: "usr/lib/libamcodec.so: undefined symbol: audio_decode_basic_init" - "audio_decode_basic_init" is in libamadec.so Loading fails because dlopen is used with parameter RTLD_NOW

Is there a particular reason why amadec.so is not added alongside amcodec.so? It's not working for S905?

I've managed to build them and added to the image, load the moonlight and run it, but the image will flicker a lot, I think because the codec is reset a lot. I've attached moonlight logs.

I would appreciate a lot if anybody can help with these issues

Using LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.2-8.2.2.3 and the default moonlight addon from the default LibreELEC repository (comes with Moonlight embedded 2.4.3) I get:

My questions is: did anybody made Moonlight work on S912? Or it's a problem specific to S912 because of the gpu drivers? (I read that the Android drivers are used).

The PC setup works, I've tested it with the Android Moonlight, but I have over 100ms lag on S912 (a Meecool M8S Pro)... it's not fun
