Performance seemed fine, I had no trouble running CS:GO on my NUC8i5. Didnt run any benchmarks though, and had to uninstall Steam as I needed the space, will test more later. Or you could just try it yourself, the entire Flathub library is now available on RetroELEC
Yeah I will, just dont want to install over my main HTPC with everything working. But I will try on my test setup soon
Hi,
I have input-hog profile accept failed for [MY:GA:ME:PD:AD:RR] when I look at systemctl status bluetooth.
Makes me think it might be related to this:
CONFIG_UHID needs to be set to ‘y’ in the kernel config to enable userspace I/O driver support for the HID subsystem
Can you confirm if CONFIG_UHID is set to y and if not, would you be able to recompile it with this setting?
Thanks.
HEVC does not play on RetroELEC-RPi4.arm-9.2-devel-20200430025740.
Was just reviewing the LibreELEC.tv github and found that there is a RPi4 patch specifically for HEVC. Seems likely that your build is either missing it or it is out of date.
Is there a solution for the broken cec on the XU4?
Unfortunately, CEC still doesn't work
Love this build
Finally pulseaudio is working for me To
Display MoreOn the very first run on a new install there will be an example.zip under amiga just to get ES started (look at /usr/bin/es-firstrun.sh which is started by /usr/lib/systemd/system/es-firstrun.service). ES is somewhat user-unfriendly in matters of getting it up and running, but once it's set up it does a good job of actually launching games and presenting them in a clear way.
Ok, I'll explain a bit about how I intended audio to work as it doesn't seem to automagically work for everyone like it should.
Normally, Kodi is run either with sound output to either Pulseaudio or directly to ALSA. LibreELEC patches Kodi in order to use ALSA, but also keep Pulseaudio available as a choice in order to use Bluetooth speakers. When using ALSA, it's easy to pick an output from the list that appears in Kodi. When using Pulseaudio, Kodi doesn't have functionality to show available sinks, cards, ports etc.
You can get it to behave like vanilla LibreELEC if you like, by setting the environment variable KODI_AE_SINK=ALSA+PULSE in /storage/.config/kodi.conf.
Now why don't I just keep that as a default? Well, if you would like to use emulators then most likely you would need to tailor an asound.conf in order to get audio as well. In other words, some manual setup will be needed either way. On the plus side, once Pulseaudio is set up properly you will be able to have sound in Kodi without it locking the sound card. This way you can for example stream A2DP music from your phone and at the same time have GUI sounds in Kodi, or even watch a movie. Same goes when using emulators. I think the best solution is to have Pulseaudio working correctly.
So... this might sound overcomplicated and you just want to have sound. I get it, the process could be a lot simpler. Basically, you need to tell Pulseaudio which output to use. Here's a small cheat sheet:
List available "sinks" (audio outputs):
# pactl list sinks short
If you have several soundcards, you might need to set the default sink like so:
# pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.hdmi-stereo
If you still don't have sound, it might be because your sound card have several ports (like HDMI1/HDMI2 etc) and Pulseaudio didn't detect the active one. List your cards profiles and ports like this:
# pactl list cards
Set a profile like this:
# pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3 output:hdmi-surround-extra2+input:analog-stereo
"extra2" is equivalent to HDMI3 on my system, you should be able to figure it out by using the above commands and some patience. If you provided me the logs, they would include all this information so I could tell you the exact command.
Pulseaudio works out of the box on my NUC8, and also when booting the image in VMware on my laptops. I'm curious as to why the auto detection fails for you though.
With "pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3 output:hdmi-stereo+input:analog-stereo" I get my sound working but it is not persistent, it is gone after a reboot. How can I make the sound setting permanent?
Hi Escalade,
any chance you will build a new 'generic' image ?
Thx,
With "pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3 output:hdmi-stereo+input:analog-stereo" I get my sound working but it is not persistent, it is gone after a reboot. How can I make the sound setting permanent?
I tried a few things yesterday:
- Clean install (no backup) with this image: RetroELEC-skylake.x86_64-9.2-devel-20200529091913.img.gz
- The box is a NUC8i3BEK
- After installation there was no sound -- I changed the setting with the pactl command or via the sound settings app -- the sound was working
- After a reboot the sound/setting was gone again
- Funny thing is if I do a reboot when a sound (youtube video via firefox) is playing the sound is working even after a reboot
- ~/.config/pulse files are not linked to /etc/pulse (I cannot change the files because of squashfs)
skylake image on your coffee lake based NUC ?
I apologize, but I am a complete newb, just learning this stuff. I love retroelec, but I want to get OTA TV working. Tvheadend does not start, I cannot cannot connect via web interface. Is there a trick I am missing? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I have it working in libreelec, but would really love retroelec.
Edit: sorry, running RPi4.
You should add the complete set of logs (see post 1 of this thread for details, the part 'how to ask for support).
I think you should find the error with:
cat ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.tvheadend42/service.logI had an error related to a missing library libvdpau.so.1.
This is a library for Nvidia GPU's, which isn't included in RetroElec.
(also opened a forum thread at tvh for this to see if there is a workaround or so)
I have TVheadend running in a docker container now. It runs fine(ish).
Once in a while the Persistent Volume is lost causing my recordings to fill the docker container.
I'm using the following command for this:
(Adjust to your needs e.g. timezone, volumes and maybe the version too)
docker run -d \
--name=tvheadend \
--restart unless-stopped \
--device /dev/dvb:/dev/dvb \
-e PUID=0 \
-e PGID=0 \
-e TZ=Europe/Amsterdam \
