[Unofficial] moonlight-embedded

jollybully · 7 October 2021 17:58

@smg04 this works amazingly well.

Is there any way that I can continue to pass through commands from my IR remote to Kodi in the background while moonlight is running? See, I call a script from my remote.xml to control the volume on my AVR and this fails to work while moonlight is open. Thanks!

smg04 · 7 October 2021 18:40

Kodi doesn’t work while moonlight is running. It is impossible for it to work, so you would have to use some external scripts, if those could work. Assuming you’re controlling it over CEC, scripts should work?

I wonder why the channel order is fine when I use Kodi?

Adam86 · 27 October 2021 10:12

@smg04, have you had any luck looking further at the surround issue with versions after 126?

Just wanted to say I downgraded back to 126 and surround is absolutely spot on for me and the experience works really well so don’t know if it’s just worth keeping whatever you did with the sound in this version the same in newer releases?

jollybully · 28 October 2021 16:57

I’m getting some pretty consistent micro stutters using this implementation of moonlight-embedded.

Everything is hardwired of course.

I have a Steam Link hanging off the same network switch which gives a seemingly smoother experience using moonlight-qt.

Could this be an issue with the hardware decoder? I’ve tried a significant amount of troubleshooting and it just feels like the frame pacing is all over the place.

Any tips on further debugging?

Thanks!

Edit: I’m using the odroid n2+

Edit 2: This seems more than a microstutter, there are times when the whole stream seems to desync while the host is locked at 60fps. Here’s an albeit not great video of this - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PF0W5JoLK2kVllAhp6iKI0mKkn6uRFjc/view?usp=sharing

@jollybully I don’t think anything can be done about the microstuttering. The problem about moonlight-embedded is that it doesn’t have any way to control the displaying of frames (every frame received gets instantly sent to the decoder). There is no mechanism to smoothen out any drops in framerates…
That said, I can send you an alternative binary that might help with the micro-stutters a little bit, but it’s not guaranteed…

@Adam86 I will be reverting back to the old method and keep it like that until a better solution is found.

Kaan · 30 October 2021 19:56

Microstutters are also caused my monitor refresh rate mismatch or freesync i found. Also no two game is the same, some have bad frame timing.

smg04 · 1 November 2021 16:16

Test this version. I’ve rolled back to the old surround solution and added basic PTS support. It might aid with stuttering, but I don’t think it will work. This should be an official update after it gets tested.

Adam86 · 1 November 2021 16:31

@smg04, just testing now while I’ve got half an hour.

Initial impressions are that the surround sound is working just the same as the 126 release which is great

Will see how performance is but I was already happy with how mine ran compared to using Android Moonlight on my old S912

EDIT: I seemed to get off to a good start, I left Moonlight streaming the desktop for a while and then launched a game, as soon as the game loaded up my Moonlight session locked up and now whenever I start the session again I get a blank screen. Habe rebooted my host as well as Kodi box but to no avail

Will try grab logs next time.

Kaan · 3 November 2021 13:29

Works great here, surround is same as before and for the first time I got stutter free gameplay with remote optimizations disabled.

smg04 · 6 November 2021 13:06

script.luna v1.0.1-matrix-130

Available for update in CoreELEC Nightly or GitHub (check out first post).
For anyone testing out surround sound, this version should have surround working…

– [moonlight-embedded] Supply amlogic codec with packets’ PTS (noticed less stuttering)

Hi,

first of all thanks for this addon it provides exactly what I am trying to achieve. I got it working pretty easily but the stream quality is quite bad.

If I raise the bitrate and resolution a black screen/freeze is happening pretty fast with the accompanying logfile entries:

Video decode buffer too small, 345361 > 307200
Video decode buffer too small, 342609 > 307200
Video decode buffer too small, 353617 > 307200
...

This starts to happen even at 1080p when going above ~35MBit at 120fps. And gets worse (happening sooner or even at stream start) with higher resolutions.

Pretty early in this thread there was a discussion about this error, were any substantial fixes made since then?

micolous · 7 November 2021 06:10

I had issues with the initial setup with the message Pairing failed or already paired!, even with the hostname specified manually. It looks like the add-on removes all the error output from moonlight in the event of an error, so you can’t see what’s going on.

After having lots of initial connection problems, I connected from a different Moonlight client in an attempt to debug – which worked fine.

Pairing from the command-line gave me a hint as to what was up:

# /storage/.kodi/addons/script.luna/bin/moonlight pair
Searching for server...
Connect to ${IP}...
Please enter the following PIN on the target PC: 1234
Failed to pair to server: The computer is currently in a game. You must close the game before pairing

I don’t know what state it was in before trying that, but it seems like me testing left things in a worse state.

Turning “Shield Streaming” in the “GeForce Experience” software off and on again allowed pairing to complete at the command line:

# /storage/.kodi/addons/script.luna/bin/moonlight pair
Searching for server...
Connect to ${IP}...
Please enter the following PIN on the target PC: 1234
Succesfully paired

After that, the add-on worked fine.

Keyboard and mouse control was intermittent, but connecting those directly to the host PC works fine (ie: Luna/moonlight are exclusively used for display/audio). The downside is that whatever game you’re playing needs to explicitly support NVidia’s remote play system to give you the option there to disconnect, otherwise you need to killall moonlight over SSH, or reboot the box to quit.

PS: if you want to bypass all the GeForce Experience login rubbish, you can patch it out of the JavaScript, and everything works fine

Your audio backend is used by most likely Kodi. It could also be addons such as librespot etc. You should try out other audio backends or myb remove exotic audio features (surround?)

smg04 · 7 November 2021 18:31

@micolous Could you please try and check if you have your kodi.log that time you tried to pair but it didn’t show what the error was?

script.luna-1.1.0-matrix.131.zip (2.6 MB)
Try this one. Increased video buffer (even though I don’t expect it’s gonna be that much better performance wise? seems like really high bitrate?)

Adam86 · 7 November 2021 19:00

@smg04 the 126 version works fine though and I thought you’d reverted the solution for the surround so it was the same on the newer builds?

I can double check my settings though and see if anything else works as I do select the audio device manually within the moonlight config.

EDIT:

Have played around with the settings again this morning, disabling surround etc and back to sysdefault for audio device and I am still having the same problem.

Seems a really mixed bag, can either get straight to the Desktop but as soon as I launch a game the moonlight sesion will freeze up whilst everything runs fine on the client side.

These are some additional logs:

For me the few seconds that you can play a game it does feel like there is a lot more stutter than version 126 that I have been using up to press.

Did just try your 131 version too but it was the same. As soon as I roll back to 126 everything works as expected.

EDIT2: May have sorted it, fingers crossed, still testing, I disabled the “Keep Audio Device Alive” within Kodi config. It’s the longest the game has been streaming for now without the stream locking up just like version 126.

Once the stream starts successfully, it’s hard it will fail. Of course, it’s useful to get logs if it crashes, but I don’t believe there’s anything to fix if you see video stream and hear the audio.

Thanks, it works now, I got a few dropped frames but thats no problem and I guess you cant do much about it as I am using Wifi to stream.

What I got working (and looks amazing quality wise) is 1440p 120fps at 80MBits

@smg04, as I put in my edit2 earlier, it looks like disabling the Kodi option to keep the audio device alive fixed it for me in the 130/131 version.

I had a good 30 minute session on Tomb Raider without a hitch, and of course fully functioning surround sound which was awesome.

It was just weird as the video would suddenly freeze but uou could still hear sound.

Hopefully all is well now though
