Packages - moonlight-stream/moonlight-embedded GitHub Wiki

For Raspberry Pi systems, Moonlight Embedded is recommended only for Raspberry Pi 3 and earlier. We strongly recommend using Moonlight Qt on Raspberry Pi 4 and newer boards for enhanced functionality, features, and streaming performance.

Raspberry Pi OS and OSMC

NOTE: The Raspbian package repository has changed since v2.4.11 was released in early 2020. To update to v2.5.0 and later, you must run the command below to add the new repository.

Run this command:

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/moonlight-game-streaming/moonlight-embedded/setup.deb.sh' | distro=raspbian sudo -E bash

Install the package using

sudo apt install moonlight-embedded

Update the package using

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Additional Required Setup Steps for Raspberry Pi OS

Modern versions of Raspberry Pi OS defaults to a display driver that doesn't support Moonlight Embedded's renderer. You will need to change some configuration on your Pi to resolve this.

To fix this, you can edit the config.txt file:

  1. Run sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
  2. Scroll down using the arrow keys until you see the line that says dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
  3. Change that line to dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
  4. Press Ctrl+X, press Y, then press Enter
  5. Reboot your Pi
