[RELEASE] Steam Launcher - Start Steam Big Picture Mode from within Kodi
The addon works the same in windows and linux, on a mac it is missing a big feature due to there being no way to tell if BPM is active. I cant really answer your question because IMO windows is best for gaming and linux is best for kodi - which is why I dual boot my htpc with this addon and get the best of both worlds.

Hello! I'm a novice Linux user and I recently installed Kodibuntu on a compact computer as a media center for the living room TV

It is working well so far, but I am having trouble with your Steam add-on

Every time I launch your add-on it crash with this log

I have already installed Steam and wmctrl via the terminal

Thanks in advance for your support and effort!

I just answered my own question by reading the log, it worked after I unchecked 'check for wmctrl'

Oops :v

Firstly - thanks teeedubb. Awesome plugin and guides. Steam BPM launches perfectly.

I'm having an issue that I cant solve. Perhaps you can shed some light or point me in the right direction.

I have no sound in the games, but I do have sound in BPM. Steam reports "Unable to connect to audio service" in settings - audio.

Some info:

I am running Kodibuntu (Ubuntu 14.04) with Kodi 14.2. I have steam installed, using parts of your guide - openbox is installed and the steam xbox controller drivers are installed, as well as unclutter. I have sound in BPM but not in the games themselves - an issue I don't experience on my Fedora 21 laptop. The steam host is a Windows 7 64bit machine. Both host and client are "opted in" to the steam beta as I read this may resolve the issue, but it does not. I have also disabled the steam overlay on both, which makes the xbox controller more useful in games like audiosurf, but has no effect on the sound issue.

I have tried with PulseAudio installed and configured as per your guide, but then I have no sound at all - not in Kodi, BPM or games. I then modified the /etc/pulse/default.pa as described here (post by Temüjin) and have sound again - but it seems as if Alsa came back to life, and killed pulse audio as the kodi settings no longer show a pulse audio device, but rather the "old" alsa ones.

I am not a complete linux novice, and I apologise if you have covered this before, but I would really appreciate some help. I'd be happy to run any and all diagnostics you would like me to perform.

Some more (possibly unrelated) info - the Kodibuntu machine is connected to a TV (obviously) but I have the optical of the box connected to my amplifier - before I started this process, I was able to launch chrome and watch streams with sound coming through the optical - now its only through the HDMI to the TV. Also, if i try and kill kodi - its comes back to life immediately. Only if I exit kodi in the power menu does it stay dead, but I still have no sound in games if I launch steam independently.

Any ideas or suggestions as to where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.

Kodi doesn't seem to exit when launching Steam.

I've created a ticket in Github.

Windows 7 x64, Kodi 14.2, addon 3.1.1.

Sounds like PA isnt running - while steam bpm is up check that PA is running with:

pidof pulseaudio

I would undo what you did in the post by Temujin for testing - are you sure you slected the right alsa device in that config? You may need to install pavucontrol to configure PA to output via optical.

Kodi restarting automatically in openbox is strange - if you quit kodi you should be at the openbox desktop (a black screen, where you left click to bring up a menu). Make sure openbox is running with

pidof openbox

@teeedubb - thanks man.

I now have sound - very loud sound - out of my optical. To achieve this I undid the changes suggested by Temüjin, rebooted, and sound was working. Just need to turn the amp down lol.

Kodi is still hard to kill, with openbox running - I use it for chrome as well, and when I run "pidof openbox" i get the pid of 1485 this
time around. Its not a train smash though, as I dont think its taking up too many resources as I only use the HTPC to stream games, not actually render them itself.

Thank you so very much for your assistance. If you ever need help in South Africa - let me know. I'm quite the boss around here.

Again - awesome work man!

Thanks for putting this guide together with the plugin; Fantastic job!

It took me longer to gzip the ~/.kodi tar and scp it over to the backup share than it did to get it all up and running on a clean kodibuntu install.

This evening I was streaming GTA V from the main windows PC downsampled 4K, glorious.

Hi I have been working on getting this set up for about 10 hours now.. Ive executed all of the code and created all the scripts in the guide with no error to be found. I installed the steam app onto kodi and set the pre and post scripts. I just cant get the thing to launch. I made a log file which can be found here.

If anyone has the time PLEASE HELP. Im pulling my hair out looking in the log trying to find the problem.
I may have some issues with the controller and sound but I cant tell yet till I get the app to launch. Thank you!!!

@ShadowWrath5 that log file doesnt show steam being launched.
Reply
That's really weird.. I enabled debugging and relaunched kodi. When to my program add ons and clicked the steam app that gave me a script failed message. Is there another method I can follow to get you the information? I can make a video if that helps too.

If kodi is being quit you need to provide the log file with 'old' in the name. If kodi is not being quit and all youre getting is a script failed message the current log file will contain the info about the addon running.

OMG I GOT IT TO LAUNCH!!!! I had to disable "check for wmctrl" and the program launched fine. I have three problems now.
1.) Exiting steam will not bring kodi back on the screen. As of now I have to manually restart it off of openbox.
2.) I have no sound from Hdmi. I can hear everything through a set of headphones but I cant use that for my tv that only has an hdmi option. Im using pulseaudio currently. Would switching to the other audio manager fix this? If so how can I remove pulseaudio? (there is also alot of backround noise using headphones??)
3.) Does linux have controller support for the xbox 360 dongle out og the box? I have a wired controller plugged in and its working fine with no configuration. Can I expect the same with a wireless one?

I made a new log file (here) that hopefully shows the program running so you can see whats going on. Thanks for the replies so far; I really appreciate it!

1. have you tried disabling the post-steam script? Could be getting hung on that. Or that you have supplied the right path to kodi in the addon settings.
2. You can install pauvcontrol to configure PA. Not sure about the background noise - for me pulseaudio 'Just Works'. In the last few pages someone posted how they got steam working with just alsa. You can uninstall PA with

sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio*

3. Yeah wireless controllers work well, though yu may need to install a driver, the xbmcbuntu 14 howto post has info.
Reply
So installing pauvcontrol fixed all audio issues, yay!
I also changed the settings to let kodi run in the background with no audio with steam in the foreground (I'm only streaming the games after all). Only problem now is when I exit steam, audio on both steam and kodi gets disabled. I toggled the post script with no avail. The only way to get audio back is a reboot. Any ideas?

Edit: May be useful to note that pulseaudio is not getting killed. Toggling the audio output in the kodi system menu will bring the audio back. This seems like a problem with the "suspended kodi audio" option on the application because turning it off fixes the issues. Although I did disable the post script that could be bringing kodi 's audio back when steam exits but I'm not sure. If there is a fix that would be good to implement let me know but if not I guess ill have to leave it as is because it is working Big Grin
