Hmm, maybe it expired. Not sure. You can download the package manually and install it that way. I’m not sure if I’ll keep the repo after the next update, so I won’t fix it for now. Sorry.
Thanks @dodslaser that makes sense. I haven’t installed moonlight-embedded - I thought I could just follow through the instructions as-is. I’ll add irtimmers repo to the sources.list and give it another go
@dodslaser How do I properly specify the input device (Xbox 360 Wireless Controller) from the Addon settings? I can’t find any info relating to that. When I get Stream Big Picture mode up, it seems to be responding to the Xbox 360 controller as if it were a mouse (I set it up using the instructions at the top of the thread) :-s I’m guessing ticking “Enable Controller” and setting correctly the Input Device and Input Map will solve this? Btw - where is the configuration file the addon generates stored? Just one more step and I’m almost there!
Btw I’ve successfully set up Moonlight and the addon to launch it. It pairs and the streaming works so I want to give a HUGE thanks to everyone, esp the main contributors who made that happen. All the work and time gone into this really is appreciated.
@diagonali Input is probably broken. I’m just finishing up a version that has most of the input stuff working to working-ish. Moonlight doesn’t seem to want to launch when I actually specify the input device, but launching with only the map specified seems to be okay for single controller input.
The input lag I mentioned was the Rpi1 crapping out when launching with 1080@30fps and controller input. 720@30fps and controller is working fine though. Rendering at 1080 and downscaling to 720 still looks fine to me. We might gain some performance as moonlight-embedded evolves and when we build it against OSMC.
Anyway, I’ll put this release up and then do some more testing on a clean install of OSMC, probably sometime this week.
As a side note, I had a noticeable improvement in performance by using the following settings on he Pi1 when I set Moonlight up using Raspbian previously. I assume these settings can be applied to OSMC and should help:
I’ve beeen trying to install Moonlight the last days without succsses…
Is there any complete guide anywhere?
And i just saw that you have released two new files, how do i install those?
I have been reading like 4 diffrent guides, and tried all of them but i always end up in diffrent errors. And they are often about this dependencies stuff.
And between the diffrent tries i have reinstalled OSMC.
@Toast is working on adding support for more controllers. Sometimes you need to use external kernel drivers for it to work. It should be fairly similar to getting it to work on any other debian-based distro.
I’m having the same problem. Looking through the instructions throughout this thread, trying to piece it together and having varied success but getting stuck on things that are implied but due to my lack of knowledge, proving difficult to figure out.
I just did a fresh re-install of OSMC, Installed moonlight-embedded as instructed and then installed the new moonlight-osmc package and then the addon. From what was mentioned I assumed my Xbox controller support would now be set up automatically by either the new moonlight-osmc package or the addon. This doesn’t seem to be the case. My Xbox 360 controller has all three lights flashing when I turn it indicating it’s not set up as it needs to be.
I’d be very happy to (and have thought of) put together a step-by-step n00b guide to setting this up at some point if that would help anyone but I’m still not clear on a couple of things now:
Does this new moonlight-osmc alpha attempt to automatically setup the necessary files to allow an xbox 360 controller (or others) to work? Is setting up xboxdrv to run at boot still needed?
Using the Addon: What specifically should we be pointing to using the UI for the “Input Device” field? When i select that field, I get the standard UI for browsing local folders/shares. What (conf file?) do I choose or what do I need to set up separately and specify here?
Back when I was doing all this manually on a Raspbian installation, I had to enter the following type of command from putty which got me surprisingly good results:
@Makkan Ah, typo. I’m typing on my phone. media center should be mediacenter as in
sudo systemctl stop mediacenter
That device looks correct. If you want to test the input you could try evtest. You might have to install it via apt.
@diagonali The moonlight-osmc package doesn’t provide drivers for controllers yet, no. @Toast is working on that. The latest alpha just adds a way to manually specify an input device and map.
As for the input device in the configuration it actually doesn’t do anything right now. You still need to point it towards any input device though. Those are found in /dev/input/. They’re usually called eventX.
As for getting the 360 controller to work I’m not really sure. The standard xpad driver should do it, but maybe you’ve had more luck with xboxdrv? AFAIK xboxdrv isn’t actively developed, so Xbox one controllers work better on xpad.
