Launch Game directly (Shortcut)
I'm only streaming the whole desktop (via mstsc.exe) with one host. Is there a way to directly launch the "game" from the host with a shortcut? So not start -> select PC -> select game, just click a shortcut -> game launches on specific host.
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything.
Thanks for the answer but no, that's not what I meant.
Maybe this picture is better understandable?
I just want a shortcut to directly launch a specific host/game without interacting with the interface first.
@maximilianoe Yeah, we already discussed this in another issue, the idea was to use the URL parameters that you have sometimes in web pages, like https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl, where gws_rd is passed to the web page as a parameter, which Moonlight can use for your request
Okay, so if I'm understanding you correctly it's currently not possible to do this?
It would require implementation, which could be quite simple if the code weren't that messy.
Hey there everybody,
just stumbled upon Moonlight after years of performance issues with Steam Big Picture Mode and streaming... Is there any update to this issue? Having a way to start games directly would be awesome. At the moment it's kind of cumbersome so have Kodi on my HTPC start Moonlight and than having to either use a mousse, teamviewer or mouse emulation on my XBOX360 controllers to start a game.
It just breaks the experience...
best regards Anthrax
@AnthraxLeprosyPi So you mean like a controller support? Controller support is kinda hard to implement here, as the code is pretty messy. It's not impossible though
@Jorys-Paulin well ideally, I'd like to have a way to start games directly from within Kodi ;-) Moonlight shortcuts with game launch parameters would be fine as there are Kodi plugins that can launch these...
@Jorys-Paulin Any parameter support yet, as the original question was? I could really use it.
@AnthraxLeprosyPi Looking at Moonlight support in Kodi? I am busy with it, at the moment I only have the original nvidia client working on Android shield and getting the old Java implementation of moonlight working.
But I really need parameter support to get things going with Moonlight, else I will have to abandon all other OSes except the Shield/Android because that works fine on Kodi.
@chrisism I'd rather do it, but I find the code too messy to implement that in a clean way...
@Jorys-Paulin looks like there are other people who like our idea of launching from the command line ;) with Moonlight Chrome ;) I see value for even more casual programmers who want to build simple launchers and preconfigured scenarios for less experienced users ;) looks like a started something a year ago ;)
Yes good idea to be able to run always the same game quickly from another computer.... Just click on the shortcut and go , don't mind on which machine it is hosted (yes a kind of cloud dream ;) )
