LibreELEC-RR 9.x [ Emulationstation | Retroarch | Pegasus | DolphinQT | Moonlight | Chrome | Spotify ]

blob810 · Jun 30th 2018

This is my update script:

Shell-Script

#!/bin/bash
MAKEMKV_KEY=$(curl "http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1053" -s | awk 'FNR == 243 {print $57}' | cut -c 21-88)
echo "Getting new key: $MAKEMKV_KEY"
echo "Generate new key file"
export keyfile=$HOME/.MakeMKV/settings.conf
echo "app_Key=\"$MAKEMKV_KEY\"" > $keyfile

The config file is in /.MakeMKV/settings.conf

I guess we could add this:

Shell-Script

MAKEMKV_KEY=$(curl "http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1053" -s | awk 'FNR == 243 {print $57}' | cut -c 21-88)
export keyfile=$HOME/.MakeMKV/settings.conf
if [ ! -f $keyfile ] || [ "$MAKEMKV_KEY" != "$(cat $keyfile)" ] ; then
mkdir -p $HOME/.MakeMKV
echo "app_Key=\"$MAKEMKV_KEY\"" > $keyfile
fi

to this:

LibreELEC.tv/makemkvcon at libreelec-9.0-rr · 5schatten/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

And this would be an automated script?

EDIT:

MakeMKV with integrated key updater:

https://goo.gl/8jodal

andersos · Jul 4th 2018

I decided to try this build. I updated directly from Remix 8.2 of escalade. Everything seems to work. Addons where migrated and updated. Even the Docker addon of escalade build. And Docker works. Except for one particular container. How is the automated MakeMKV key updater supposed to work?

5schatten · Jul 5th 2018

New builds are online. Added some recent emulator versions, updated the linux kernel and added unclutter to hide the mouse cursor so the usual update & optimization stuff.

andersos

As I said I have to look into the docker thing or ask escalade about a crash course of dockerism and stuff. But if it still works you're fine! The start script of MakeMKV now uses blob810 's update routine to grab a recent MakeMKV key and put it into the keyfile ($HOME/.MakeMKV/settings.conf).

As stated on a main page all features of MakeMKV are free while program is in beta. You may purchase the full activation key if you like the program and want to show your support, but you also may use the temporary beta key.

The current beta key is

Code:
[email protected]@2jNEQjvNY4zLxK8E0YduZT

and is valid until end of July 2018. Please check back for updated key on this page.

Well to add docker functionality is there anything else I have to look into? These two plus their dependencies which should be already satisfied by vanilla LE?

LibreELEC.tv/packages/escalade/sysutils/docker-containers at le82 · escalade/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

LibreELEC.tv/packages/escalade/sysutils/docker-system at le82 · escalade/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Or does the docker addon provide the same functionality?

LibreELEC.tv/packages/addons/service/docker at libreelec-9.0-rr · 5schatten/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

escalade · Jul 5th 2018

Depends what you're looking for. The docker-system package is an older version of the docker addon, just modified to install to target. The docker-containers package was used to launch my custom containers from the Docker hub.

djnice · Jul 5th 2018

@5schatten: Can you make a build for Amlogic S905 with CoreELEC patches?

So would your ps2 Docker container theoretically run when used inside the LE Docker addon?

djnice

Maybe - maybe not. Since CoreELEC is "just" a LE with some (plenty?) specific S905 patches it should be possible. But I have no S905 device to test this and still it depends on the specific emulator / frontend and how well it builds for this device/project.

Thanks for this! Awesome release. One question, Any idea how to get moonlight working? I installed it but i get:

moonlight: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.57: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When trying to run it, tips?

Guess moonlight is unfortunately broken/dead and your version is build with an outdated lib. My build ships with libavcodec.so.58

Code

phoenix:~ # find / -name libavcodec.so*
/usr/lib/libavcodec.so
/usr/lib/libavcodec.so.58
/usr/lib/libavcodec.so.58.18.100

Maybe something like this could work LE8 "Remix" (Generic/RPi) Emulationstation/Chrome/Spotify PROVIDE LOGS IF PROBLEMS

So find the moonlight addon directory, add a lib directory and create some symlinks to libavcodec.so.58 but this would be some ugly workaround.

psrkallez06 · Jul 5th 2018

Thanks for your answer. Yeah it does look too much of a hassle, But since emulatorstation also has a moonlight addon, I.e you can install moonlight-embedded with it, is is possible to install it with the included emulationstation?

Hmmmm this looks indeed promissing -> I've got a GTX1060 in my workstation and can test this myself. I'm currently rebuilding and will tinker a bit around afterwards.

Awesome! Please report back your findings!

One question, the reason that i downloaded your version of libreelec is because the official release (8.0.4) won't work with my controller AT ALL. but your release works perfectly with it. Any idea why that is?

Well what works with what type of controller or what didn't work in the past? If you talk about Kodi then probably this addon was updated:

LibreELEC.tv/package.mk at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Also Retroarch relies on a recent GitHub - libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig: RetroArch joypad autoconfig files to support autoconfig of your controller. Emulationstation is basically "dumb" and you have to setup your controller first and this is only needed for menu controlls within es.

Well i have a thread about it here:

Controller not recognized.. Tried everything i can think of please help!

My controller LED.s won't even show that there is a "connection" in the official release, but with yours it works out of the box.

I was hoping that maybe It's just a file that's missing from the official release but that you have in yours, that i could import to get it working.

LE 8.2.5 uses kernel 4.11.12 LKML: Greg KH: Linux 4.11.12 which is quite old. So I guess the old kernel lacks drivers for you "Arrogant Bastard Frostbite Gamepad", btw. best gamepad name ever, which are already included in kernel 4.17.4.

You could try one of these tesbuilds LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0) since these are vanilla builds with all features the next vanilla LE9.0 will include once a kodi 18-release version will arrive.

I use 8bitdo SF30 PRO & SN 30 controllers and can absolutely recommend them.

Haha love the name too!

Thank you i will try that!

Hm if it is a driver issue, is it possible to only take the drivers from the testbuild and import them? Or does it depend on the kernel and more stuff? (I'm new with this) haha

5schatten · Jul 5th 2018

If you need a well aged build stick to LE8 "Remix" (Generic/RPi) Emulationstation/Chrome/Spotify PROVIDE LOGS IF PROBLEMS

Because this build is based on LE8.x & features Kodi 17.6 but also kernel 4.17/4.18 so all addons should work. Otherwise try Milhouse builds or just use mine if you have no build specific problems.

Yes, why not? That's how it's supposed to run. I recommend going through the Docker "get started" part of the documentation to get an understanding of how Docker and its containers work.
