Release: Steamlink Launcher for Kodi (OSMC only)

https://github.com/swetoast/steamlink-launcher/releases/tag/0.0.4

Let me know if there are any bugs othere then that download the deb and install it and then run the launcher

Tested out v0.0.4 and after some fiddling around (for some reason had to start steamlink itself the first time through ssh in order to get it to install correctly) works without a hitch in initial tests (comparing to a dedicated steamlink).

Is there a way to alter the launcher as to have it change to a specific display resolution prior to starting steamlink and revert back to another once it exits?

I am running OSMC in 1080i 50 hz by default with auto changes depending on content (PLEX/Youtube) as I mainly use to the stream TV content (VNSI).

Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction to go from 1080i 50 hz in OSMC to 720p 60 hz in Steamlink and back to 1080i upon exit.

So here are the results of my tests on this so far. I'm not sure if these are faults of Steamlink itself (and therefore need to be addressed in that forum), or if they are interactions with OSMC that should be addressed here. When I run it, the first thing I noticed is that at random times (anywhere from every 3 seconds to every 20 seconds), the RPi 3B+'s display goes blank for about half a second or so while running the stream. Makes playing fast-paced games very difficult. Another issue is a controller problem, but I think that's probably on Steamlink's side. The controller works fine when in Steamlink's UI or in the Big Picture UI, but does nothing during games, even when the game is supposed to be controller-friendly. Thanks for your work on this! Nicely done!

Hey i was toying around with a new raspberry pi 3b+
After first doing to install of osmc / retrosmc/steamlink i did something wrong i think and started a new instal

Now i installed the latest osmc build installed the steamlink 1.0.7 if im correct everything seems to work pretty well tough i got one issue probably more steamlink related but i cannot find anything any were thats why i try here

My issue is i setup my controller so that my right stick functions as a joystick mouse it works oke on my pc but when trying to use the same controller (xbox one without bluetooth) connect to my pi with a cable.
When trying to use joystickmouse function it seems like steamlink is unresponsive untill mouse reaches the edge and stops moving after that when using it again its does the same it floats till the end of screen leaving behind the original cursor and moving on as a black cursor with a white border.

So i went on testing further when setting up the same right stick to be a mousezone instead of joystick mouse its seems to work correct however this is not a good way to navigate my game and use all controlls would. Prefer to find a solution to the joystick mouse anybody had same issues?

This has been working quite well for me. I'm new to OSMC and relatively new to raspberry (first Pi I've owned but I did set up my dad's and I do have a Pine 64). I have the original hardware Steam Link but this has been working reliably enough that it's replaced it. (no, not selling HW Steam Link ;) ).
.
OSMC + Steam LInk is a lot like what I imagined "Steam Link V2" would be. That is, excellent game streaming, stand-alone ability to play "retro" games, support for video streaming services like Netflix, Amazon VOD, etc. Very impressed with what you've done here.
