Hi 5schatten! Do you plan to release an update including Kodi Leia 18.6 and component updates?
Thank you

With any of the last nightlies, maybe the last ones containing mupen64plus updates, you changed the name of the script to launch the games from m64p.start to mupen64plus.start, so the spoiler in the initial post of the is not correct anymore. I realized it today launching one N64 game and ES returned to the list of games. So I verified the script through SSH and found the name has changed. So I changed the command to launch the games and tomorrow I'll give it a try, but I think it should be okay.
One question about N64 emulators: with the last updates of your distro, is it better mupen64plus standalone or the retroarch N64 core? With the previous versions of the distro, for my setup, it was better mupen64plus standalone. Thank you

Hi 5schatten
Ive tried to figure my question out myself whilst waiting for a response.
But now I'm even more confused on which image to choose for my computer as there are just loads of different images.
So going to the first page of this thread there is a download part, if I go here and select generic it takes me to Google drive then I have a option for 4.19 or 5.0.x
I assume the regards to kernel but which ever one I choose its dated march.
If I visit you builds section it appears the latest image there is dated April.
Then like I said in my earlier post if I go to the end of this thread there is a update for generic dated last week but this is in nightly rather than build
Can you please let me know which on is classed as stable and which one I should be using.
Thanks in advance
Rob
Hi Rob,
the last "stable" official build is the april one. If you download whatever image to make a bootable usb to install the system, then searching for updates it should find the april one. The nightlies builds are intended only to update an already installed system with the previous versions, copying the tar file in the "update" share through smb. I'm using last nightly on generic system (Fujitsu ESPRIMO Q900, Intel core i5 system) and I can tell you can use it as stable.

Halexz seems to have the same issue as I have: If you have an older intel CPU (before Hd4500 iGPU) and you try to start the Chrome browser with 'HW-acceleration' enabled, you get a 'FATAL:memory_linux.cc(42)] Out of memory' error.
Starting chrome with only software acceleration does work, but you get 'tearing' artifacts, mostly visable in a fullscreen video as a triangle in the lower right corner or horizontal stripes. (test with this video:

We have provided more information on this in our privacy policy.AMD and Nvidia GPU's are O.K.
The LibreElec official 9.1.501 with Linux 5.1.16 and Mesa 19.1.5 is O.K.
In the previous RR-Nightly-version the HW-acceleration VAAPI was broken within Kodi also, but with version RR-20190920 this is O.K.
HaLeXz: What hardware do you use?
Fujitsu ESPRIMO Q900 - Intel Core i5 vPro (i think it has an Intel HD 3000 igpu). I don't mind about the tearing issue in chrome, because I use it only to browse the web, not to watch videos. Can you tell me how to run it without hw acceleration? Is there a flag to accomplish it?
Thank you

Well maybe this is linked to mesa 19.2.0 - I guess we have to wait for a Chrome update or fix in the mesa RC
1746685 – This is very weird but after upgrade mesa from 19.2.0~rc1-2 to 19.2.0~rc1-3 in Google Chrome browser appeared artifacts.You could alse see if you find a proper switch here List of Chromium Command Line Switches « Peter Beverloo and add it to chrome-flags.conf in the google-chrome dir in configfiles.
About te Chrome issue, I stopped kodi and run chrome without flags, but the error is about the need to run it with "no sandbox" flag, so started it with the flag. Here is the CLI output:

Most likely you need to configure your SUID sandbox correctly

Maybe there's something else?

Hello everyone, thank you very much for the work on this amazing system. I wanted to ask two questions.
I want to keep the resolution of the LibreElec interface at 1920x1080 but RetroArch uses the same resolution defined in the LibreElec interface.
I would like to launch RetroArch at 1280x720 because i play with the integer scale x3 activated and the image is a bit small for the overlays that i use and does not fit well on my 1080p TV, I also use crt-nes-mini shader and need to use integer scaler.
I touched the retroarch.cfg file in /storage/.config/retroarch but ignores it!
It is possible to launch RetroArch at 720p without changing the Estuary resolution everytime?
WiFi works perfectly but it is possible make integrated Bluetooth work as well on chip RTL8723BS?
Thanks to all in advance!
I think you have to play with xorg.conf file as already mentioned in the main posts of the distro or in some posts of the thread if I remember right. Try to make a search of xorg in this thread.

Can someone point me in the right direction on getting controllers to work within the emulators?
I've got them working fine in the front ends, but on launching games i get a quick message in the lower right hand corner (n64 games are the only ones I've tried so far) -
"Xbox 360 Controller is not configured"
or
"Wireless controller is not configured"
I've tried an Xbox 1 wireless and a PS4 wireless, both work great in Kodi and the front ends, not sure where I need to start on getting them working in the emulator..
Thanks!
Launch retroarch and configure the controller mapping first (that's the case for n64 emulator). If you use other emulators than retroarch cores (ex. Dolphin), you have to configure the controllers in the standalone emulator.
You can find configuration guides for every emulator in the respective website.

Well... there is a whole section with changelogs & links to the builds of the past LibreELEC-RR 9.x [ Emulationstation | Retroarch | Pegasus | DolphinQT | Moonlight | Chrome | Spotify ] and surprise surprise Index of /nightly/ which I posted about 4-5 posts before you asked the first time.
I have no RPi4 so I can't really build & test images for one. Also the support is actually right WIP since it uses a VideoCore VI with mesa3d. It will take some time until libretro cores have been updated & stop using old vendor blob stuff.
I guess I add this to the FAQ then. The problem is if you boot games without you can't select the language or else but still a bit strange that it fails to run for you while it works flawless here
I don't understand if "testing" and/or "nightly" repos could be used as continuation of "stable" one (in this case, I don't understand the meaning of the new branches), or if it's better we wait for a future stable release. Thank you.

Hi 5schatten !
Do you plan to release soon a new stable update containing packages updates? All last updates were released only for the testing repository.
Thank you

Sorry, double post from android...

Chrome just updated and tearing is still present (particularly the top third of both windowed and full screen video playback). Could anybody else who is on an Intel integrated GPU check this video in Chrome and see if they experience screen tearing?:

I was mistaken.. it seems like it may be a kernel issue.
I've been trying various driver revisions on Ubuntu and it freezes after 30secs to 2 mins with the Nvidia proprietary drivers but doesn't with nouveau.. so may be a driver/kernel issue but I have no idea.
But back to libreelec/rr
Kodi works flawlessly if I play a movie without freezing but as soon as I leave it idle without playing anything it will freeze and only powering off will help.
Same with emulation.. if I'm actively playing a game it doesn't lock up.. but if I let it go idle it will freeze.
What could be the issue?
It could be the shading effect of kodi interface (maybe not correctly managed by the video driver). Try to disable it in the screensaver configuration and check if it freezes. You can even try to access the config menu while playing movie to check if it's the shading effect.
-
Is there a way I can resize dolphin window to be viewable on a 800x484 resolution?
Actually I'm not able to view all the configuration windows entirely so it's very hard (or even impossible) to access all the configuration options.
Thank you

Ye the command didnt change the volume of my hdmi audio output. However it was worth a try, thank you
I think you can find the right command to obtain it. 5schatten, for example, wrote a different command... if changing the master volume doesn't affect your HDMI output volume, maybe you can specify another channel to change the volume. If you're using alsa I think there must be a way to control the HDMI output with alsamixer.
Try to change the different channels volume in alsamixer through ssh while playing something to find out which channel affects your HDMI output, and finally change the channel name in the amixer command.
I can't try what you're experiencing cause my nuc has not HDMI out (only DVI), so I have to use analog or spdif (digital optical output).

In the past I used alsa as audio backend because I didnt manage to run pulseaudio. Now I gave it another try because this volume difference between dolphin and the rest annoys me too and just noticed that everything I had to do was unchecking "Use module-udev-detect to autodetect PulseAudio device". So the sound is working now and also decreasing the volume in the rr config tool works fine.
However only with Emulationstation 5schatten you maybe remember that Im using a different script in Rom Collection Browser and I dont get it working with pulse. Currently I have no sound in dolphin if I start it via RCB. Can you please take a look and tell me what I have to change? Is it even possible to use pulse on this setup because I dont freeze kodi and I use alsa in kodi?

You could try to insert "amixer set Master 25% unmute" at some point of the script that launches the game... But I don't know if there's a "close script" where you can insert the same code to roll back alsa master volume to 100%.
Hope this gives you the start point for your solution.
