Moonlight won't start

[vanMacG]

I can't start into moonlight anymore. It worked "before", but I can't remember what exactly changed...

Here is the log-output from /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.moonlight-qt/moonlight-qt.log

Did you recently upgrade moonlight or reinstalled the plug-in? It might be due to changes in the latest moonlight version.

[vanMacG]

I upgraded to LibreELEC 12.0.1 and I think it worked after that, but I'm not sure.
moonlight-qt was not updated.
Issue was with plugin 0.4.4, update to 0.4.5 today, but no change.
I can try to update/reinstall moonlight, but didn't want to change too much the first time.

[vanMacG]

I reinstalled moonlight, but the error is still the same.

I searched around a bit and found that MMAL is not supported anymore by RPi? Issue is about 64bit, but one of the latest comments is that 32bit also is no longer supported.
I can't find libmmal.so anywhere in my LibreElec-setup.

Is this a consequence from using fkms because RPi3, or why I'm the only one getting this error...?

[veldenb]

I'm not an expert on this topic, the RPi 3 is not officially supported by moonlight so there is not much more I can do than recommending these steps: https://github.com/veldenb/plugin.program.moonlight-qt#raspberry-pi-3 .
If that doesn't work I think you should stick to LE11 unless someone finds a workaround.

I'm with a similar issue, but on x86_64, tested both with Generic and Generic-legacy:

Is fixed in latest version, see also #78
Update the plug-in and updating moonlight-qt should fix the starting issue for generic builds.

oh, I was just updating using the "update moonlight to the latest version" button, manually installing the update worked, thanks!

I had the same problem as @vanMacG, the moonlight-qt plugin is not working on a RasperryPi 3 with LibreELEC 12.

It seems that the rpi / armv7l version of this plugin is pulling the libraries from the arm32v7/debian:bullseye-slim docker image (while the rpi_aarch64 version is using the arm64v8/debian:bookworm-slim image).
But the latest version of moonlight-qt works for me on a RaspberryPi 3 with the 32-bit Raspbian bookworm, so I modified the resources/build/rpi/Dockerfile file in the downloaded zip to pull the libraries from arm32v7/debian:bookworm-slim and the plugin installed moonlight-qt without errors. This way moonlight-qt is working for on a RaspberryPi 3 with LibreELEC 12.

Thank you very much @marcoce7 !
I made the changes to the Dockerfile like in your PR #86 and rebuild moonlight-qt. Now everything works again ❤️
