Have a look at the code at https://github.com/chrisism/script.akl.nvgamestream . Feel free to use/add here.

Although for the AKL plugin you only need the Moonlight/Sunshine/Nvidia Gamestream parts, there are many ways to do the server/PC side.
I myself use it with running Playnite on the PC. I dont start it through steam though, just directly Playnite. I have created a simple script plugin for Playnite that updates the Sunshine library each time the Playnite library gets updated, to keep it in sync.
The AKL plugin takes care of scanning the Sunshine library and adding all the games to AKL. The AKL plugin launcher automatically picks the corresponding entry for Moonlight and starts the client.
Have a look

First of all, I would like to thank you for creating this addon and plug-in for moonlight/gsmestream.
I'm trying to pair AKL with my sunshine/moonlight installation, but in the documentation I not found how to do this with android/shield tv.

Can you explain me how to pair AKL with moonlight and add my games to my library?
If you install the gamestream plugin for AKL you should be able to add a Moonlight/Gamestream Source. When creating a new source it will show a flow of dialogs to configure that new source. This should show you all the needed steps, like pairing it with sunshine with a pin code. However, one part that is not as easy is the certificates part. To be able to setup a proper trusted relationship you will need a specific type of certificate. There are different ways of creating the needed certificate files (Read the README at https://github.com/chrisism/script.akl.nvgamestream for how), but you cannot do it straight away from inside Kodi because it lacks certain software on Android. So read up about how to create the certificate files and once you have those you can follow the dialogs.

If you have a little bit of patience, I just read about the server API for sunshine which should make it easier to connect a trusted relationship with the client. I want to try to implement that and make the whole connection experience more easy, since the current one is based upon old moonlight source code. Notice that it might take some time though.

I will try it, but If I remember correctly, it didn't offer me any option to create a new source from any section, once the gsmestream plugin was installed.

I was using your customized skin from your Distro, and it only shows the two views still, Grid, and List. I think I need to downgrade my Kodi, but I really don't want too.

Exactly, when I access to sources, no option appears, I've reinstalled AKL and gsmestream plugin. Here the log when opening AKL and sources section: https://paste.kodi.tv/eyocemoxez

In the latest version, open up the context menu from any view in AKL addon and choose 'Add'. This should lead the way.
I checked your posted logs, but there isnt much in there. Set your log level to debug (akl addon settings) and try the Add menu item.

You dont have to. The thing is that the extra views are only available if you open up AKL from the games menu (retroplayer views etc). If you open up AKL from the addons menu it will only limit the views to list and thumbnails. This is has to do with a combination of the addon view type setting and how the skin connects views to view types.

Because the views and changes I added are really game specific I only added them to the games view type. Also since it is not my own skin, just a little bit enhanced version, I dont want to mess it up too much. It is also a bit more a showcase of what is possible. I would suggest everybody to go to your favourite skin dev and (kindly) ask if they can add more game views. My modded version can be used as an example, but I guess they can make something far more prettier out of it.

That's my project that I'm finally improving right now,
where I hope to publish soon.
See the following link for more information.
Thanks again for your games project, without that support,
my project is impoverished

I've already managed to connect it, I didn't understand the process, it was so easy and I didn't see it. Now I have a question, how could I add the games with their fanarts to the Kodi games category?
