Well I didn't remove any "unrar" support from LE nor doesn't really make it any sense for me to compress a video file with rar. Maybe it's not obvious but this build is based on LE9.0 upstream code so if vanilla LE would support "rared video" files my fork would also support it.
Okay I compressed a h265 video file and saved about 4,5% space. So 2.55GB before and compressed 2.44GB IMHO not worth the hassle.
Again if ES freezes then provide a logfile.
It's just how some content is provided. No compression used tho.
ES is a minor issue until I have ironed out the "broken"/missing unrar function.
edit: seems Kodi Leia is not using RAR support by default but is now part of an addon. So thanks for pointing me in that direction.
edit 2: well this is embarrasing, forgot that emulationstation doesnt recognize the gamepad and needs to be configured by using a keyboard to point it to that config part of ES. All well and everyhing works now, thanks for your help.
There's absolutely no reason to keep videos rar'ed up.
I doubt it, rar is the choice for newsgroup uploaders not content providers 
Can you try audio_driver = "alsathread" too? It's the default setting.
Yep works too. I think audio_driver = was blank as default, but I may be mistaken
Can you post the terminal output of aplay -L? It looks like this on my RPi:
Codenull Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) default:CARD=ALSA bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA Default Audio Device sysdefault:CARD=ALSA bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA Default Audio Device
Looks identical to that
Do you use external USB sound devices?
Nope HDMI out to Onkyo AV AMP
where do we place the pcsx2 bios?
is there a way to add background music to emulationstation
5schatten sorry for not getting back sooner i just got home yesterday (i stayed longer at a friends place than expectedas i wanted to monitor his well-being as he had a few ER Visits while i was there, ) given i just woke up, i'd try what you suggested a page back but i see theres a new update, was the issue fixed or you want me to test before updating?

Just delete your retroarch.cfg & apply the update. Sound should work then or at least the config file isn't corrupted anymore.
having an issue with audio on HDMI on my ASUS Z270i motherboard (onboard HDMI / Intel) and your build. Works with my USB headset though. Usually no audio through HDMI (worked about 2 out of 10 times when using Netflix addon, for local content there was no audio at all using HDMI but worked every time for USB headset). Normal issue?
(No audio for Retroarch either if that helps, tried setting audio device to no avail).
I guess so if someone gets me a S905/S912 device to test my builds ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Vanilla LE9.0 should build fine for several Amlogic devices as listed here https://github.com/libreelec/libreelec.tv/tree/master/projects/amlogic/devices
but as I said I do not own S9xx devices so even if I could build it I couldn't test and debug it.
If you need, I can donate you 2 S905 boxes.

I decided to try to compile your project for S905. With a small bit of effort...most packages built. A few will need some changes but I suspect it will not be difficult, especially since I have done a lot of this work on my own build previously. If I get everything built, would you be interested in a PR? If so, I have some questions for you about how you would prefer to handle some things, would you like to handle via DM or via the forum?
Note: I did not try to burn the image to an sd card yet so I can not yet verify that it's working but I will test before submitting a PR if you are interested.
