# HTPC Bazzite Ecosystem — Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Synthesis across [[htpc-bazzite-proton]], [[tech/htpc-steam-emulators]],
|
||||
[[tech/htpc-kodi-layout]], and [[tech/htpc-magic4pc]].
|
||||
|
||||
Intel i7-6800K / RX 570 / Bazzite 44 at `192.168.1.86`. Connected to
|
||||
LG webOS TV (`192.168.1.75`) via HDMI.
|
||||
|
||||
## Mode Map
|
||||
|
||||
| Mode | Entry | What runs |
|
||||
|------|-------|-----------|
|
||||
| Steam Big Picture (gamescope) | Default boot | Steam Gaming Mode + 39 non-Steam shortcuts |
|
||||
| KDE Desktop | Ctrl+Alt+F2 or Steam → "Switch to Desktop" | Full desktop + Kodi launcher |
|
||||
| Kodi | From KDE | NFS/SMB media browsing (see [[tech/htpc-kodi-layout]]) |
|
||||
| Emulators | Steam shortcuts (gamescope or KDE) | RetroArch, EmuDeck |
|
||||
|
||||
## Input Devices
|
||||
|
||||
| Device | Role |
|
||||
|--------|------|
|
||||
| 2× 8BitDo Ultimate dongles | Primary gamepads |
|
||||
| Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver | Secondary gamepad |
|
||||
| LG Magic Remote (magic4pc) | TV remote → mouse/keyboard via [[tech/htpc-magic4pc]] |
|
||||
|
||||
**8BitDo pitfall:** both dongles must be on separate physical USB ports
|
||||
(not the same hub). See [[tech/htpc-steam-emulators]].
|
||||
|
||||
## Windows Games via Proton
|
||||
|
||||
39 games added as non-Steam shortcuts. Most on GE-Proton10-34.
|
||||
Compatibility matrix and fix recipes: [[htpc-bazzite-proton]].
|
||||
|
||||
Highlights:
|
||||
- VK GameCenter (Atomic Heart) — working ✅
|
||||
- Rayman Origins — GE-Proton + `d3d9=b` ✅
|
||||
- Doom 3 BFG — Luxtorpeda (rbdoom-3-bfg flatpak) ✅
|
||||
- 5 games still broken (Brawlhalla, Castle Crashers, Worms ×2, Duck Game)
|
||||
|
||||
## Non-Steam Shortcut Management
|
||||
|
||||
VDF shortcuts via Python `vdf` module. **Rules:**
|
||||
1. Stop Steam before editing `shortcuts.vdf`
|
||||
2. Use `vdf.binary_load` — never manual byte editing
|
||||
3. Keep `bak-eagle` (23 May, 106 entries) as recovery baseline
|
||||
|
||||
See full guide in [[htpc-bazzite-proton]] § VDF.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cover Art
|
||||
|
||||
`steam-grid-artwork.py` (at vault root) — fetches artwork from
|
||||
SteamGridDB for non-Steam shortcuts. Run when adding new shortcuts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Maintenance Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- `rpm-ostree upgrade` resets `/usr/local/bin/magic4pc` — rebuild and redeploy
|
||||
- VDF backup: `saves-backup.service` (systemd, daily rsync)
|
||||
- Proton updates: extract tar.gz into `~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/`

# HTPC — magic4pc (LG Magic Remote)
|
||||
|
||||
Go-client for using the LG Magic Remote (webOS TV app) as HTPC
|
||||
mouse/keyboard input. Fork: `mallexxx/magic4pc_altclient` branch
|
||||
`bazzite-linux`.
|
||||
|
||||
LG TV: `192.168.1.75`, HTPC: `192.168.1.86`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
- **TV server**: webOS app on LG TV → sends UDP to fixed source
|
||||
port **9106**
|
||||
- **HTPC client**: `/usr/local/bin/magic4pc`, UDP listener
|
||||
- **xdotool**: single persistent process via stdin pipe (mouse +
|
||||
keyboard)
|
||||
- **ydotool**: gamescope-specific keys (Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2) via
|
||||
`/run/user/1000/.ydotool_socket`
|
||||
|
||||
Session detection:
|
||||
- `isGamescopeSession()` — scans `/proc/*/cmdline` for `kwin_wayland`;
|
||||
if absent → gamescope (Steam Big Picture mode)
|
||||
- `activeDisplay()` — KDE uses Xwayland display from kwin args; gamescope
|
||||
uses `:1` (game) if visible windows present, else `:0` (Steam BP)
|
||||
|
||||
## Button Mapping
|
||||
|
||||
| Button | Keycode | Gamescope | KDE Desktop |
|
||||
|--------|---------|-----------|-------------|
|
||||
| Red | 403 | Ctrl+1 (Steam menu) | Super |
|
||||
| Green | 404 | Escape | Escape |
|
||||
| Yellow | 405 | Ctrl+2 (Steam QAM) | Middle click |
|
||||
| Blue | 406 | Right click | Right click |
|
||||
| Back | 461 | Mouse X1 | Mouse X1 |
|
||||
| D-pad | 37-40 | Arrow keys | Arrow keys |
|
||||
| Ch+/Ch- | 33/34 | PageUp/Down | PageUp/Down |
|
||||
| Play/Stop/Pause | 415/413/19 | XF86Audio* | XF86Audio* |
|
||||
| Touch (swipe) | — | mousemove (scaled) | mousemove |
|
||||
| Tap | — | Left click | Left click |
|
||||
|
||||
## Mouse Coordinate Mapping
|
||||
|
||||
TV sends coordinates in 0–1920 × 0–1080 space.
|
||||
|
||||
**In gamescope:** uses letterbox algorithm.
|
||||
1. Find active window: (a) under cursor via `getmouselocation`, or
|
||||
(b) largest bounding-box window (non-popup, highest ID)
|
||||
2. Compute 16:9 letterbox viewport from window width:
|
||||
`lb_h = win_w * 9/16`
|
||||
3. Compute offset: `off_y = -(lb_h - win_h) / 2`
|
||||
4. Map: `x11_x = tv_x * scale + off_x`; clip negatives to 0
|
||||
|
||||
**In KDE:** `getdisplaygeometry` → scale = display / 1920×1080.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Pitfalls
|
||||
|
||||
| Problem | Fix |
|
||||
|---------|-----|
|
||||
| TV "service error" / won't reconnect | Fixed source UDP port 9106 |
|
||||
| TV stuck "waiting for client" | Server keepalive timeout 10s |
|
||||
| KDE XTest prompt on every click | Single persistent xdotool process |
|
||||
| KDE XTest prompt after xdotool restart | `XwaylandEisNoPrompt=true` in kwinrc |
|
||||
| Wrong mouse coordinates | Dynamic scale via `xdotool getdisplaygeometry` |
|
||||
| Binary lost after `rpm-ostree upgrade` | Rebuild and redeploy |
|
||||
|
||||
## Deploy
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Build on Mac
|
||||
cd ~/Developer/magic4pc_altclient
|
||||
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o magic4pc .
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy + restart on HTPC
|
||||
scp magic4pc htpc:/home/bazzite/magic4pc/magic4pc
|
||||
echo bazzite | sudo -S systemctl stop magic4pc.service
|
||||
echo bazzite | sudo -S cp /home/bazzite/magic4pc/magic4pc \
|
||||
/usr/local/bin/magic4pc
|
||||
echo bazzite | sudo -S systemctl start magic4pc.service
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Sudoers rule (no-password systemctl):

||||

||||

## Hardware

|

- CPU: Intel Core i7-6800K, RAM: 32 GB, GPU: AMD Radeon RX 570
|
||||

## Gamepads — 8BitDo Ultimate (2 dongles)
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical:** both 8BitDo Ultimate dongles (`2dc8:3106`) must be on
|
||||
**separate physical USB ports**, not sharing a USB hub. If both share
|
||||
the Huasheng USB2.0 HUB on port 006, the second dongle fails to
|
||||
enumerate (`#Ifs=0 Cfg#=0`) and creates no `/dev/input/js`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Working USB layout:**
|
||||
- Port 005 (direct xHCI, no hub) → 8BitDo #1 (`E417D8D87F0C`)
|
||||
- Port 006 → Hub Port 001 → 8BitDo #2 (`E417D8C197E4`)
|
||||
- Port 006 → Hub Port 004 → Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptoms of wrong layout:** lsusb shows both but second has `#Ifs=0`;
|
||||
only one `/dev/input/js`; Steam sees one controller.
