The keyboard worked with the first 2 methods, so I don't really understand what happened.Ĭan someone please help me? I don't even know, how to find the logs, or something to google:) I have tried to replace the 'exec steamlink' to 'exec xterm', to see if the keyboard works with the startx method, but it works. Performance was OK, SteamController working, mouse/keyboard working in the app, but not working after the streaming starts (so no keyboard/mouse in games or steam overlay, only in the steamlink app, before connecting). This way the only app started on the X11 was the steamlink app. xinitrc and executed the 'startx' command. So I stopped the lightdm, entered 'exec steamlink' in the. Then I decided to run steamlink on X11, but without any window manager, which can steal precius resources from the steamlink. So I installed the raspberrypi-ui-mods group (lots of packages: xorg, lightdm, window manager, etc).Īfter running the steamlink app from the menu (PIXEL menu?), everything was OK, except from some random lagging, so this method was also bad for me.ģ. I saw in a post here that the EGLFS implementation is quite buggy, so I decided to install xorg and try running from there.

This happened all the time, so I decided to move on.Ģ. In the meantime I was able to SSH to the Pi, but it needed a restart because I was unable to kill the unresponsive steamlink app. > Everythin works perfectly, but after a couple of minutes the picture freezes, and the audio disappears. Tried the steamlink app with a Raspbian Stretch Lite (Headless).

The hardware was originally priced at $49.99.1.

Valve launched Steam Link in 2015, letting PC gamers stream games from their computers running Steam out to a television. That is, if you missed the clearance pricing on Steam Link, which was as low as $2.50 (plus shipping) at certain points. Instructions for how to do so are noted in a Steam community post.Ī Raspberry Pi 3 B+ will typically cost you about $35 - Micro Center has it on sale for $29.99 - making the mini computer an attractive and inexpensive Steam Link option for people who want a dedicated piece of hardware. Valve is currently supporting the Raspberry Pi 3 and 3 B+ running Raspbian Stretch, and Steam Link is free to install. Steam Link is now in beta for Raspberry Pi, the tiny, affordable computer aimed at hobbyists and aspiring programmers. And while the Android version of Steam Link will continue, Valve has released something for low-cost hardware as well. Valve recently discontinued its Steam Link hardware, the small hardware peripheral that let PC users stream games to another device over an in-home network, and the company is now completely sold out of the device.
