  • Unfortunately, the Emulationstation mappings are only used for ES. RetroArch has it's own controller config, so does FS-UAE, VICE and Dolphin.

    You should use hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 or hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=1 in asound.conf if you want sound through HDMI.

  • When i had this problem, my "smart" tv automatically overscanned, so i calibrated it in Kodi, but then ES resolution was butched.

    When i fixed the TV panning, Kodi and ES resolution were normal (i gues they always were...)


    TY. I check my TV settings and changed resolution to by size (dont know how it right in english). Now all is ok.

  • No logs no error.

    Will try and get a log at some point. The Mrs will kill me if kill the tv again ;) where would I locate the kernel log just in case it's not a kodi issue.

    Look for hot keys in retroarch input. Set a button to act as the hokey and then set a button to exit.

  • I need help. With controllers. I have: 1 DS3, 1 DS3 compatible (Tracer Trooper BLUETOOTH PS3) and Steam Controller. This 2 DS3 works perfectly. But I can't make to SC to work in Moonlights (so also in Steam Big Picture). I need to notice that all of them works quite well in Kodi.

    I know Moonlight have maping function, but I don't know how to attach this map files to an icon in Kodi, which actually starts my Moonlight add-on? Also I think problem is with config in Moonlight. In its options you can pick a *.map file profile for controllers, but only one. So in my case, Moonlight is trying to map DS3 profile to all my controllers. As of that there is a problem with SC.

    PS. In Steam run by Moonlight I am able to use all buttons, triggers, joysticks on DS3 pads, but on SC, only analog joystick works.

    Any help?

  • Hi,

    Tried to install your version on my tronsmart iz37 based om recomendation from tronsmart forum

    I already have the base libreelec installed with grub and all, and try to use your version as update from tar
    This is based or piotrasd said:
    2607-libreelec-8-special-build-for-iz37-by-tronsmart?limitstart=0#15996

    But I get this, with all atom versions I tried: (latest i tried is 0108 - LibreELEC-Generic.Atom.x86_64-8.0-devel-20170108)

    *** Error in mount_flash: mount_common: Could not mount /dev/ mmcblk0p1 ***
    ### Starting debugging shell ... type exit to quit ###
    sh: can not access tty: job control turned off
    #

    Can you help me understand and fix the issue?

    maybe this is because the drive is called mmcblk0 ??? (when i install the libreelec base)
