    Yeah well I copy pasted & forgot to delete the [] ^^ can you test it again? Or just install 10k packages xD

    It works now as it should ^^

    Perfect, now i just need to test xpadneo out xD

    Hi all,

    did anyone get 8BitDo Gamepads to work with x86 natively (without dongle) in LibreELEC(-RR)?

    I have a ASrock J5005 and tested two intel M.2 cards without success. I get them paired only via bluetoothctl but they lose the connection quite immediately.

    .

    They work flawlessly on RPi4 and LibreELEC 10.

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Thanks

    Edit: I check in another thread, if bluetooth is working properly - guess there is something wrong with my system: RE: Bluetooth does not find a device ASRock J5005 - Intel Wireless AC 3165

    I have ordered an intel 7260 mpcie card for my x86 build on Monday, it camed today finally.

    And i have readed the other post of your issue.

    Let me say this, while Bluetooth was on linux always a bit of a pain, doesn't matter which distribution. I got it always working.

    With today's testings, with the 7260 card, i have same issues as on the pi4. And this issue is bigger and related to Bluetooth kernel modules or Bluetoothctl or hci.

    To be more precise, the pairing process looks broken, scanning works, but pairing not.

    It says it paired, it connects and disconnects in a loop, but i can't get anything properly paired and connected.

    No matter if on the rpi4 or 7260.

    First i thinked it is probably xpadneo, but it isn't, the module isn't even loaded, even a recompile without it doesn't works.

    On Ubuntu 20.04, Bluetooth is a pain, but after many tryes of pairing/connecting it works. And once you connected it once it works constantly perfect (that one device)

    On libreelec, doesn't matter if RR or not RR it doesn't work, i tryed it almost 100 times.

    Replacing the firmware for the 7260 (bluetooth module) leads nowwhere, since hci says that it's already patched to v57 and doesn't even try to load the "ibt-hw-..." files.

    And there is no documented way or command to load the firmware yourself.

    But those bluetooth firmware files or patchfiles, are for all intel Bluetooth devices, it doesn't matter if it's an ax200 or an super old 7260/7265 module. All the same fw files. That means if bt isn't working on one intel module, the possibility is extremely high that it won't work on all other intel cards too.

    Only the wifi firmware is for every module different.

    So it's a pain, the whole Bluetooth code is crappy on linux anyway if you ask me. Even on macos and windows it's not always perfect.

    The only thing where Bluetooth is a no brainer, is on the phones.

    However, I don't give up yet.

    Cheers.

    Thank you for your answer Ramalama.

    ...even if it is not VERY encouraging 😋

    Meanwhile I believe that the board has issues. I remember, that the Asus board before was working and could find Wifis and BT devices. View minutes ago I tried the Qualcomm out of this board once again in the ASrock and it has the exact same issues as the intel cards. But what makes me wondering most, is, that the pairing and function with RPi works flawlessly. I had RetroPi on the RPi 3b+ and LE10 on the Pi4. Every single time I tried to pair the 8BitDo's it was successful and I could configure&use them properly. Only the J5005 has issues.

    Glad that the people here are so helpful!!

    ...but in case there is no solution, I do think about buying a prebuilt NUC. Guess this would last for at least 5 years and is "most" future proof in terms of development. What do you think SupervisedThinking  Ramalama? What I read about the performance, this unis should be sufficient for GC emulation and maybe some PS2 as well. I don't have the highest claims on +++resolution.

    From my view, nuc's are in every way one of the best minipc's that you can buy. Great any os support, even hackintosh, great updates, pretty much a no brainer.

    And they are all good, no matter which generation since haswell. Just watch out for hdmi 2.0/1 for the long-term.

    But the rpi4 is actually pretty amazing either sure, it's slow compared to a nuc, but it's still perfect for an *elec device.

    Im not into game emulation, so dunno how it performs there, but it has x265 hardware acceleration and is pretty awesome for any video related stuff.

    Cheers

    Has anyone had issues with Dolphin and missing liblzma?

    I've just made a fresh install of LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-10.0-RR-20210418-a1398f2.img and it appears like the image is missing liblzma with no easy way to add it, unless I'm missing something?

    I updated Waspoedertje's 'addons' that were made to assist launching spotify, retroarch, etc. from other skins so they work with new LE builds running python 3. I can't figure out how to fork stuff right in github lol. theyre in the kodiaddon-master.zip

    GitHub - brs677/Kodiaddon: KodiAddons to start python apps for 5schatten/LibreELEC.tv

    Nice job :)


    I am gonna switch to this LE 10 fork.

    But is it possible (or you already have done it) to add HDR patch for intel nuc

    Intel true 10bits/HEVC/HDR support... ? - Hardware - LibreELEC Forum

    Thanks in advance the fork looks nice SupervisedThinking

    LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-10.0-RR-20210418-a1398f2.img, before libreelec is starting:
    depmod: ERROR: fstatat(6, nvidia.ko): No such file or directory

    and starting the libreelec configuration tool is not possible, but I havnt found an error message in the logs. maybe I have to enable debug logs first. Initial configuration was possible though.

    edit: okay I think its related to the embuary skin. everything is working without problems. but as soon as embuary is installed and kodi restarts, the libreelec configuration addon is not working anymore. But this must be related to this build, because the l10 without mods is working here.

    Hey SupervisedThinking thank you for this image. I had previously had a RetroELEC image all working fine on my RPi4, but the LibreElec image was getting a bit old, so great to be 'up-to-date'.

    I've just got a small issue getting my video snaps working in EmulationStation.

    I'm using the mp4 that were working under EmulationStation in RetroELEC.

    The directory structure I'm using is:

    Code
    /storage/.config/graphics/arcade/snap/<<rom>>.mp4

    The boxes and wheel/marque all work fine, but the snaps don't play (no video or audio).

    I'm using the "es-theme-ComicBook_SE-Wheelart-master" theme which worked in the RetroELEC image.

    I've been trying to figure out what drives the videos within EmulationStation for the snaps.

    Anyone got video snaps working within ES in this image?

    Thanks.
