Can RetroArch be used as Kodi add-on in regular LE? Is forking the system absolutely necessary?

Hi!
Sorry if not in the subject!
Maybe someone has an image of RR9 for odroidC2 (the link to Google drive is dead) or someone can build RR10 for odroidC2?
thx

You need a wrapper to launch retroarch so it's not a native plugin that works within the Kodi application. You can use ROMs within Kodi, but I've tried this in the past and the native support is terrible. Personally I wouldn't waste your time trying to make the native support work even though it's tempting. LibreelecRR is by far the easiest solution if your priority is playing media, but you also want proper emulation support.

I see an effort existed for LE 8 that built RetroArch plugin based on Lakka sources (itself forked from LE?):

Contribute to ToKe79/retroarch-kodi-addon-LibreELEC development by creating an account on GitHub.github.comI can't tell how much of a hack it was and why it hasn't been updated. Maybe the developer who is a member of Lakka simply lost interest in LE.

He's still actively working on Lakka which is still actively based on LE, but there are 1001 things that need a maintainers attentions and only so many free hours in a week for fiddling with hobby code.

I've uploaded a new build generic build to testing - x86-64-v2 (SSE4) - it comes with an updated xorg-server & I would highly appreciate if someone with AMD/Nvidia card could give it a try too.

Thanks for al your work doing this 👍 I’m having a great time messing around with retro gaming!
One question though is it possible to add Daphne to EmulationStation? I can’t see it in the core list in Retroarch when I have dug around in there - treat me like a dummy if there is an explanation

hello.
I'm new to Raspberry Pi and only recently... like 4 weeks ago got a raspberry pi 4 B 8gb. Iam also new to the linux... and have been changing the OS on a daily basis on the pi. i bought a few different sd cards.
I found libreelec-RR, installed it... and saw that it comes with Kodi, and emulationstation which is great... but where is the Brave Web browser? I did read the readme and the faqs page... maybe i'm missing something...
Could anyone please me assist?
Thank you very much for your time and effort.

just came across this project, and thought i could give it a try on my pi4....since i did not find a recent release for it, i decided to build it from source.
so...in order to make it compile, i had to comment this line
#UL_WARN_ADD([-Waddress-of-packed-member])
am building in docker with ubuntu 20.04. what am i missing here?
-
had to do some small other fixes...in case someone else is trying to build this...i'll attach the patch
just remove the .txt ending

Good Evening All. I'm trying to use this build with the Metropolis skin. I'm trying to setup 'spotify' as a custom 'furniture item'. I'm using this line from the wiki.
Spotify
/usr/bin/app-spotify.py
Adding that as a 'spotify' button on the home screen to that line above does nothing. Am I missing something?
Hi, did you ever figure it out? I can't find app-spotify.py under /usr/bin/

You could try RunScript(/usr/bin/app-spotify.py)Hi, first I'd like to say that I'm new to Raspberry Pies and this distro (thank you so much for existing!) but not to Linux or Kodi.
I've been looking around for an answer to this and everything points to /usr/bin/app-spotify.py but if I browse to /usr/bin/ with the file manager I can't find app-spotify.py in /usr/bin/. I find frontend-emulationstation.py, frontend-pegasus-fe.py and frontend-retroarch.py just fine. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm using the onboard bluetooth device of the raspberry pi 4 to connect my xbox controllers, which works fine.
But the range of the onboard bluetooth is limited, I'm gettiing regular disconnects at about 2 m distance and I have no option to move the device closer to me. As a result I want to use a USB bluetooth device. Libreeelec recognizes that but I have to disable the onboard bluetooth by adding dtoverlay=disable-bt to config.txt to make the USB device default. However, I can't connect the xbox controller in this setup, the controller responds with a disconnect/connect loop. Has someone maybe a similar experience ? Or even a solution to that problem?

Hi DerTeufel
Last Days i tried to compile this as GENERIC Build, but no luck....some sources has changed permanently.
(pcre,pcre2,soundtouch,mesen,dosbox-staging)
Where to place your Patch? Directly in the 'LibreELEC-RR' directory? And does it build GENERIC too?
best regards

I've backported some master-rr stuff to https://github.com/SupervisedThin…breelec-10.0-RR e.g. fixes for the broken pkg urls, SDL2, GStreamer, mesa etc.
Currently I'm more focused on getting some changes into LE master to lay the groundwork for future Wayland builds if X11 will be dropped some day by upstream, upstreaming Vulkan support etc.
But beside the mesa bump there weren't any fundamental updates in between.

Hello SupervisedThinking
That solves my Problems about the missing things while building.
Only one more question:
How do i build a SSE4 Version of your Project? Any additional build commands or changes in the config?

a safe way is to check out the target fearures of your cpu:
x86 Options (Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC))
and add them e.g. like this:
