MoonlightAppImport

A Playnite plugin that imports games from a Sunshine, Apollo, or Vibepollo host and launches them directly with Moonlight.

Once configured, you never need to open the Moonlight UI again, except to tweak stream-quality settings.

Picture this: A tiny living-room PC boots straight into Playnite’s Fullscreen mode. From the couch, you browse your library with a controller, hit Play, and the Moonlight stream starts automatically. When you quit the game, the stream ends and Playnite regains focus, ready for the next title. It’s a console-style experience entirely within Playnite.

Installation

1. Download the latest MoonlightAppImport_60ea0079-bf4b-417c-a1f3-d5470ec5e96b_<version>.pext from the releases page.
2. In Playnite open Library ▸ Configure Integrations ▸ Moonlight App Import.
3. Set the full path to Moonlight.exe (e.g. C:\Program Files\Moonlight Game Streaming\Moonlight.exe).
4. Enter the host address (e.g. 192.168.1.69).
5. Configure your host:
   • For Sunshine and Apollo, enter your Username and Password.
   • Also, for Apollo, enable the “Use Apollo instead of Sunshine” checkbox.
   • For Vibepollo, enter your API Key. The plugin will automatically use Vibepollo if this field is filled.
6. Enable “Allow self-signed certificate” if your host uses the default, self-signed TLS cert (the common case).
7. Enable "Ping server" if your host can be pinged and you want to check if it's online before doing an API call. Note: On Windows 11 hosts ping might be disabled by default. Either enable it in your firewall or deactivate this checkbox.
8. Run Library ▸ Update Game Library ▸ Moonlight App Import.
9. The plugin fetches all configured apps from the host and adds them to Playnite.

Best-practice setup

I suggest the following setup:

• A Server with Vibepollo, plus Playnite.
• A Client with Moonlight, Playnite and MoonlightAppImport.

Typical workflow:

1. Install the game on the server.
2. Add it to Playnite (server side).
3. Export it to your host via Vibepollo.
4. On the client, update the library with MoonlightAppImport.
5. Play the game from Playnite on the client.

Enjoy couch-friendly game streaming without leaving Playnite!
