Very well done on the setup scripts guys. Switching between EmulationStation and SteamLink is smooth and easy. I figured I'd spin RetroPi + SteamLink together with Steam Controller and see how things go, then move up to a 4. I don't have a 4 yet so I started testing on a 3 B+ that I have. It seemed logical therefor to install Retro Pi and be able to easily switch between EmulationStation and SteamLink, using the Steam Link controller for everything. Now, as I’ve understood it OSMC/Kodi needs vc4-kms-v3d to run, but what puzzles me is that others have seemed to get OSMC (with Kodi 19).Now that the SteamLink hardware is officially retired, and support for SteamLink at 4k60fps on a Raspberry Pi seems to be making progress, I thought I would sunset my hardware SteamLink and get a Pi 4 to do its job. Then I installed Raspbian Buster on another SD card and managed to stream 1080p over Steam Link perfectly fine with a system resolution of 2160p on that system, but only once I’d commented out dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d in its config.txt. Tried hardware and software rendering etc.

I dabbled in trying to limit the resolution of both Pi, Steam host, Steam client and the Steam stream itself to no avail. Steam Link’s detailed statistics indicated that the stream was definitely being received though, and the Steam host audio being audible on the client confirmed this.Īt first I thought it was problem of client resolution, since the Steam Link client defaulted to the highest possible resolution (2160p) even if setting OSMC to 1080p. Installing Steam Link via swetoast’s Steam Link Launcher worked well too… but once setup the video stream from the host Steam machine is pitch black.

(Thanks or all the hard work that goes into making this happen!) Everything is smooth and works well with my 4K projector. I recently upgraded my OSMC setup from a Pi 3+ to a Pi 4.
