Haven't posted an update in a while and since the old script/libs are now outdated, here's the updated ones.

missing files in /lib - https://www.mediafire.com/file/bkm4158hc…225.tar.gz/file

steamlink.sh -

this is for rpi3 and (currently) libreelec 9.2.8. everything else previously in this thread is the same. enjoy.

Here is the current steamlink.sh. I see the newest official steamlink.sh uses uinput now but since libreelec has it compiled in everything is still good.

Wanted to play something on the tv again so decided to update this. The new steamlink is quite slick now. So anyway some updates to this.

Grabbed the newest steamlink steamlink-rpi3-1.1.61.156.tar.gz and the newest raspbian 2020-02-13-raspbian-buster-full.img . Installed steamlink the usual way, no real change there. Here are the newest libs required (md5 76ad404d0165fa2a8d84e831b43de39a).

And I added this change to my steamlink.sh script.

# changed cleanup() to
        pulseaudio -k
        kill $CEC_PID 2>/dev/null
        screenblank -k

# and added after line -- pulseaudio -D -n -F "$TOP/pulse_default.pa"
echo 'starting cec'
cec-client </dev/null | steamlink-cec &
CEC_PID="$(jobs -p) $!"

there are probably more changes I should make but this worked.

For the handful of people that care, here are the changes to grab everything.

mount -o loop,ro,offset=272629760 -t ext4 2020-02-13-raspbian-buster-full.img x
# and
for i in libpng16.so.16 libjpeg.so.62 libicui18n.so.63 libicuuc.so.63 libicudata.so.63 libX11-xcb.so.1 libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6 libxcb.so.1 libxkbcommon-x11.so.0 libXau.so.6 libXdmcp.so.6 libxcb-xkb.so.1 libbsd.so.0; do cp "$(find -name $i)" .. ; done

and also for the people that want to install everything from within their rpi and don't run linux desktop/vm, here is a way to grab all the libs from the raspbian image without mounting it (as you can't from within libreelec). I got all the file positions from the img from a little script I wrote. so the results of that are (filename size position [size2 position2])

libpng16.so.16 177464 5438550016
libjpeg.so.62 214392 5468647424
libicui18n.so.63 2348736 5460344832
libicuuc.so.63 1525176 5462863872
libicudata.so.63 25165824 1371537408 2020500 1368735744
libX11-xcb.so.1 5368 5251522560
libX11.so.6 1120968 5330882560
libXext.so.6 59540 5332488192
libxcb.so.1 124744 5538537472
libxkbcommon-x11.so.0 26380 5538664448
libXau.so.6 9600 5332025344
libXdmcp.so.6 17852 5332467712
libxcb-xkb.so.1 83572 5538254848
libbsd.so.0 95940 5286195200

you could just dd if=2020-02-13-raspbian-buster-full.img of=FILENAME bs=1 count=SIZE skip=POSITION . in the case of libicudata.so.63 just append the second dd.

One other thing to mention, if your audio is fuzzy garbage do this

cat /etc/pulse/default.pa | sed 's/^\(load-module module-udev-detect\|load-module module-detect\)/\1 tsched=0/' > /storage/steamlink/pulse_default.pa

then make this change to steamlink.sh

# change this
pulseaudio -D
# to this
pulseaudio -D -n -F "$TOP/pulse_default.pa"

this was tested with the newest version steamlink-rpi3-1.1.39.91.tar.gz

Haven't fired this up in a while and decided to give it a try. Downloaded the newest steamlink-rpi3-1.1.38.90.tar.gz and installed it to a new directory. Also downloaded the newest raspbian 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-full.img and grabbed the newest libs. For those that care here are the changes for extracting them

mount -o loop,ro,offset=276824064 -t ext4 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-full.img x
#
for i in libicui18n.so.63 libicuuc.so.63 libicudata.so.63 libpng16.so.16 libjpeg.so.62 libX11-xcb.so.1 libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6 libxcb.so.1 libxkbcommon-x11.so.0 libXau.so.6 libXdmcp.so.6 libxcb-xkb.so.1 libbsd.so.0; do cp "$(find -name $i)" .. ; done

for everyone else here are the libs you can simply download and install libs.tar (link is only good for 14 days so someone else mirror it.) md5 is 40cf74d9c93e7e10844616e81fbca391.

And steamlink.sh needs one trivial change to work again

# add this
export HOME="/storage"
# above this
export PATH="$TOP/bin:$PATH"

and your all good.

Quote from Funatic

Hi guys! Thank you for the instructions, I got it working on my PI3 with libreelec 9.2.

I simplified and fixed the steamlink_monitor.sh script. Now it stops kodi and all input applies to steamlink.

steamlink_monitor.sh

But I'm still facing the same problem that it won't connect when started from the addon. Starting from ssh works however as you mentioned. As you can see in the monitor script the output is saved to a logfile but I have no idea what's going wrong.

I'm not seeing how you "fixed" the script.

I made a no-frills launcher so people don't have to ssh in to start steamlink. To install download these three files

addon.py

script.steamlink.service

steamlink_monitor.sh

then run this from the rpi

cd /storage
wget https://github.com/swetoast/steamlink-launcher/releases/download/0.0.4/plugin.program.steamlink-v.0.0.4a.zip
# install in kodi, disable updating
# copy addon.py script.steamlink.service steamlink_monitor.sh to /storage/steamlink/
mv /storage/steamlink/addon.py /storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.steamlink/
chmod +x /storage/steamlink/steamlink_monitor.sh
ln -s /storage/steamlink/script.steamlink.service /storage/.config/system.d/
systemctl enable script.steamlink.service
# reboot and test

Audio didn't work. I figured it was because I was testing with a linux host but it didn't work in windows either.

To fix add this to your config.txt

mount -o remount,rw /flash
nano /flash/config.txt
### add this then reboot
dtparam=audio=on

Then use this new steamlink.sh that does the udev stuff automatically and loads pulseaudio before steamlink

I wanted to try steamlink without reinstalling anything, so after about an hour of screwing around here is how I got it working.

This only makes changes within /storage/steamlink , nothing else is touched. If you do not have at least a novice understanding of linux shell or don't fully understand the commands here DO NOT ATTEMPT.

First thing we download the newest Steamlink and extract it (run on rpi)

cd /storage
wget "$(wget -q -O - http://media.steampowered.com/steamlink/rpi/public_build.txt)"
tar -zxf steamlink-rpi3-1.1.28.72.tar.gz

Next we need to download the missing libs that aren't included in this or libreelec itself. These commands might work within the rpi itself but I did them on my desktop.

curl --header 'Host: director.downloads.raspberrypi.org' --user-agent 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0' --header 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8' --header 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5' --header 'DNT: 1' --header 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1' 'http://director.downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_full/images/raspbian_full-2018-11-15/2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch-full.zip' --output '2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch-full.zip'
unzip 2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch-full.zip
rm -f 2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch-full.zip
mkdir x
mount -o loop,ro,offset=50331648 -t ext4 2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch-full.img x
cd x
for i in libpng16.so.16 libicui18n.so.57 libicuuc.so.57 libicudata.so.57 libX11-xcb.so.1 libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6 libxcb.so.1 libxkbcommon-x11.so.0 libXau.so.6 libXdmcp.so.6 libxcb-xkb.so.1 libbsd.so.0; do cp "$(find -name $i)" .. ; done
cd ..
umount x
rmdir x

Now we have extracted all the libs we need from raspbian, next step is to transfer them into steamlink's /lib folder (the hostname will be different for your setup)

scp lib* root@rpi3:/storage/steamlink/lib/

Next we need to install the steamlink udev rules, but udev is readonly, so we just overlay it (run from rpi)

mkdir /storage/steamlink/overlay_work
mount -t overlay overlay -o lowerdir=/lib/udev/rules.d,upperdir=/storage/steamlink/udev/rules.d/,workdir=/storage/steamlink/overlay_work /lib/udev/rules.d
udevadm trigger

Now the steamlink.sh that comes with it is not geared for libreelec, so copy this one over it

Now the final step is to stop kodi and start steamlink (run on rpi)

systemctl stop kodi
cd /storage/steamlink && ./steamlink.sh

and when your done just restart kodi or "reboot"

systemctl start kodi

I am quite impressed how well this works, everything ran smooth as silk. gj Valve!

I have this working just fine. I'm on here just to vent that updating to version 9.0.110 essentially disables the plugin then I have to manually roll back to 109. I say just put a note when you go into settings stating the newest version doesn't work with the latest GFE.

And to make this post not useless garbage here is what I did to make it work (going from memory a bit).

On Windows:

• use DDU to completely uninstall nvidia.
• reinstall the latest drivers but no GFE (in my case 416.64-desktop-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.hf.exe)
• installed NVIDIA_GeForce_Experience_v3.12.0.84.exe (possibly v3.14.1.48, will have to check later)
• enable shield, do PIN etc
• disabled GFE auto-updating on boot by adding to the hosts file

On Libreelec (RPI3B+ wired)

• running "Moonlight Embedded 2.4.6" (don't remember if I manually updated it)
• FPS : 60
• bitrate : 20000
• packet size : 1024
• remote opt. : on
• don't allow gfe : on
• play audio locally : on
• stream 5.1 : off
• audio device : sysdefault
• had to manually change some files so my wireless ps3 controllers would work
• probably made other changes I forgot about
