Moonlight-embedded for OSMC

Moonlight-osmc

About

Moonlight-osmc provides a OSMC compatible .deb package of moonlight-embedded as well as scripts for launching a stream from Kodi on the raspberry pi. For now the moonlight-embedded .deb is simply taken from irtimmer's repo and modified to run on OSMC. The scripts are originally from this post on the OSMC forums and modified to run the C rewrite of moonlight.

I created this project mainly for personal use, so updates may be a bit slow. The code might not be the prettiest, nor the most efficient, but it works for me.

Installation

• Make sure the sound module is loaded. You can load it on boot by adding snd-bcm2835 to /etc/modules

sudo modprobe snd-bcm2835

• Add the repo to sources.list

deb http://repo-dodslaser.rhcloud.com/ wheezy main

• Add the public key for the repo

apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 4A1C897B

• Install moonlight-osmc

apt-get install moonlight-osmc

Usage

• moonlight-osmc - Pair and start the stream
• moonlight-osmc-config - Create /etc/moonlight-osmc/moonlight-osmc.conf
• Create a shortcut to System.Exec(moonlight-osmc) in kodi to launch from the GUI

Features

• Presents the pairing key on screen if needed (no need for pairing via ssh)
• Restarts Kodi when stream is closed (can take some time, will look into this)
• Uses moonlight-osmc-config for configuring moonlight stream parameters

Notes

• Irtimmer has merged my pull request for official OSMC support, but there hasn't been a new release yet. I'll keep a moddified deb for OSMC in my repo until his repo works. You should NOT have both mine and irimmers's repos in sources.list at the same time for now
• Since version 0.2.0 of moonlight-osmc, the installer places scripts in /usr/bin and /etc/moonlight-osmc rather than /opt/moonlight-osmc and ~/.moonlight-osmc/moonlight-osmc.conf. The earlier versions shouldn't break anything, but it might be a good idea to clean the old files out before upgrading.

To-do

• Controller configuration
• Kodi add-on
• Wait for the first official release of moonlight-embedded with OSMC support

Build debian package :

debuild -i -us -uc -b
