RetroELEC Kodi+Wayland+Emulationstation+RetroArch (x86/XU4/RPi)

    one question, is your fork up to date with main LE?
    Emulationstation stop working in new alpha 10 so I compiled a new version using your fork but it also does not work.
    I am trying to use your build to test/update ESand LE8alpha 10 but it gives me panic error.

    Yes my tree is up to date with the latest alpha. "Doesn't work" is not a proper error report. Do you mean that you compiled ES with my tree and tried using it elsewhere? Or did you boot the latest build and get the same kernel panic as the rest (read the last posts)?

    I've uploaded a new cleanly built 20161225 for the RPi, please test. No changes other than rebasing my commits on latest alpha10.

    Until alpha 9 I included in my gamestarter addon an emulationstation binary from your build from some months ago. In latest alpha 10 it stop working due to this error:

    storage/.kodi/addons/script.gamestarter/resources/bin/emulationstation: symbol lookup error: /storage/.kodi/addons/script.gamestarter/lib/libfreeimage.so.3: undefined symbol: png_init_filter_functions_neon

    So I compiled a new emulationstation using your fork but it still gives me the same error when trying in LE 8 alpha 10...

    The error message seems clear enough, did you copy over the latest libfreeimage.so.3? What does "ldd -r /storage/.kodi/addons/script.gamestarter/lib/libfreeimage.so.3" tell you?

    Just a heads up I had same kernel panic from your 23 & 24 img.gz files and from building from source. I downloaded the 09 image you linked to on page 48 and that worked. New to these projects all you guys are doing some great work, look forward to using your products. Escalade do you have any documentation on how I should be starting retroarch? Is there a launcher in the front end that I am missing or are you starting it with advanced launcher or ssh? Happy holidays.

    What about the 25 image?

    This build uses Emulationstation as a frontend, you select "Emulators" from the Kodi main menu and off you go. Look at /storage/.config/emulator-frontend.conf for an example how to use RetroArch as frontend instead if you prefer that.

    I tried to compile your fork but it always gives me an error about "readline". During the process it creates the libfreeimage file so I copy/paste it in my installlation with alpha 10 and ES works. I really get lost with all this libs issues...

    About compiling, I can make emulationstation package without making whole image but when trying to make retroarch it gives me the same error as when making image.

    With last build YouTube plugin aren't working anymore.

    Then I'm out of ideas. Have gone through my commits and can't find anything that should cause the kernel not to find init, and the initramfs looks good. Same tree works for Generic. Guess it's end of the road for my RPi builds for now.

    Andi_bz

    And you've confirmed it works in alpha10?

    Andi_bz

    I can reproduce here. Have no idea what's causing that either, although it seems to be Python related. I have made no mods to Python though, but it was recently upgraded to 2.7.13 in master.

    noxx

    In the RetroArch core options (hit F1).

    Sure it's possible, but none of my packages are made as addons so there's quite a lot of work to do. What do you mean simpler to update, is it that difficult to put a .tar in the update folder and reboot?

    About the update, I'm just curious for a while. Will your packages (likes Emulator, Chrome, Plex server, Sonarr etc.) always get automatically updated in the new .tar? Or is there some manual procedure to get that updated?

    Thanks

    They stay the same version unless I manually update the packages. Exceptions are Chrome, Spotify and Plex. They are just scripts that download the apps on the fly when run. Delete /storage/.cache/app.chrome and you'll get an updated version on next run. This is done because I don't think it's legal to distribute the binaries of these apps.
