Steam Link now in BETA on Raspberry Pi

[slouken]

The Steam Link app is now available in beta on the Raspberry Pi 3 and 3 B+ running Raspbian Stretch

To install, run the following from a command line:
curl -#Of http://media.steampowered.com/steamlink/rpi/steamlink_1.0.7_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i steamlink_1.0.7_armhf.deb

To run, you can launch it from the Games menu, or run the following from a command line:
steamlink

The first time you run it, it will download the full app and create a desktop shortcut, and automatically update as needed.

Please report any bugs and feedback on the Raspberry Pi discussion forum.

I would appreciate it if you would make a universal binaries for ARM as a tarball. Raspberry Pi is not the only and not the best board for enthusiasts, especially due to terrible cpu-bound network controller.

This. Would be good to have support for all ARM-based devices, not just Raspbery Pi. Raspbery is the most popular, but not the only device on the market, nor it's the most well-engineered one.

This is AWESOME news :D Thanks Valve!!

Why is this not open-source?

Oh, I forgot that the only open-source projects of Valve are OpenVR and Proton, and Proton doesn't even cound because it's a Wine fork and they had to open-source it.

AMAZING

Make Steam Link a Kodi add-on.

+1. This would be fantastic.

I'd also love to run it on my Vero 4K (aarch64), but the executable bails out once it detects it's not being run on an RPI 3.

@slouken can you forward to devs that that can check for a package called rbp-userland-osmc instead of libraspberrypi0, this is the equivalent of libraspberrypi0 this will make steamlink work on OSMC (distrobution) which is a open source mediacenter

sudo dpkg -i libraspberrypi0_1.20181112-1_armhf.deb
trying to overwrite '/opt/vc/lib/libbcm_host.so', which is also in package rbp-userland-osmc

This will be in the next build, thanks!

In the meantime, you can edit .local/share/SteamLink/steamlinkdeps.txt and change the libraspberrypi0 line to:
libraspberrypi0:armhf | rbp-userland-osmc:armhf

awesome, if you need any thing else from me just accept my friend request if you wanna continue the discussion :)

next step is for me is to work on a launcher for OSMC :) 99% done with the code

is there a planned repository for this ?

Tried it out 1080p 60fps no problem with a ethernet cable 10/10 im definatly saving one sd card for this. Thank you so much for the raspi support

You're welcome!

[Queuecumber]

Has anyone been able to try 4k 60fps yet?

[Toast]

4k is kinda impossible on rpi

you gotta realize the limitation of the hardware

Is Steam Controller fully supported and if not, is it expected to be supported soon? I am quite dependent on it and I planned to purchase a used Link, but now I might reconsider...

For this I'd think either using the dongle (buying another) or Bluetooth. Not gonna have a built in dongle like the Link does.

Since they are pushing Steam Link apps and such (hoping Steam Link appears on Roku and Amazon Fire TV) I assume they are confident that the Steam Controllers Bluetooth works as good as the dongle?

We also don't know yet if maybe possible 3rd parties will start to see Steam Links as well?

We shall see. :D

Has anybody else got this? Running on a Pi 3 B (not B+), not sure if that matters
