New build 20170327:Code- linux 4.10.6 - re-enabled lirc_serial driver - samba reverted to 3.6.25 (let me know if this fixes the issues) - removed transmission - libretro cores now use correct git version (apparently netplay uses this to decide if clients are compatible) - updated packages: beetle-saturn-libretro, btrfs-progs-system, xfsprogs, scummvm-libretro
Samba back working fine thanks dude!
Hey there, I seem to be having issues still with samba. I can't connect to any Windows or Apple shares.
Here's a snippet of the kodi log. Using the generic x86 build.

I can't find the samba log, but this has only happend since the recent update. Any ideas how I might fix this would be great fully appreciated.
Hi escalade.
Thank you for the lots of work and effort you put into this project. I installed today and replaced my vanilla libreelec image with yours. Installation went well and i already began to rebuild my libraries and so on. But I ran into 2 issues:
1. When I try to access my Music Collection via SMB KODI hangs. It's a rather large Collection with lots of Folders, but that wasn't a problem with the official build. Other Folders on my NAS don't cause any Problems.
I think there might be an issue with windows smb in the latest build. Kodi calls for a usr/pass even when its disabled. This seems to only effect windows smb as other shares work such as nfs. Doesn't happen in the release before the samba upgrade. Just in the latest build. Sorry I don't have logs atm system is in constant use 
If more people are experiencing the issue I will update again and get logs when I can have some down time.
Actually, this build fits inside 512MB partition used by vanilla LE. The adjusted size in this build is just future proofing for new installs.
I always had issues updating from "older" builds of either libreelec or openelec. I guess its redundant with later versions. Even so, I always find its better to install your build from a fresh install, saves aggravation 
I've been battling getting a working version of LibreElec with Kodi and IARL installed on an x86 box. Currently I'm running LibreElec 7.9x (non-Extended) on an oldish Dell box. I am using Spinz skin on that and Kodi 17. Everything on the Kodi side is working well. I've tried installing RetroArch with little luck. I've also tried installing GameStarter with no luck. What happens is that when you select the game in IARL it starts Gamestarter or RetroArch and then bumps me back to my home screen in Kodi. I contacted Zach and he said to set each emulator to external and then set each emulator individually. I tried that also and it did not work. I'm assuming it's because I'm not running the Extended version of LibreElec.I am interested in installing the Generic x86 version of the Extended version of LE8 onto my x86 box and try that...
What's the easiest way to "upgrade" to the extended version?
I tried running the make file with the following command "PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 make image" an got an error... package.mk file not found...
Any advice is greatly appreciate!
Cheers!
Joe
This build uses a slightly larger system partition than that of the official build (to store the cores and system files). So updating can be a pain, unless you're willing to extend your existing system using a partition manger. Booting into a linux live and running gparted for example. So my advise is, it's best to start a clean install using the extended build. IRAL and everything work perfect. Backup your old userdata and kodi files if required and just restore them to the newly installed build.
Do you run the mednafen psx on your nuc escalade? I only have a black screen. Pcsx rearmed is running but the settings of mednafen are to interisting
I run both depends on the game. Check the bios requirements for mednafen should fix your black screen
Had issues with the latest samba / my config. But as you had already advised I used the smb.conf and created a new samba.conf in .config with my own links. Thanks for keeping this the best build ever.

On a side not any ideas why dolphin loads up the gui when loading an image? If i alt tab I get the game. Is it a dolphin setting?
Hey mate updated to the lasted version 20170113 and retroarch is playing up. Frame rate is around 90-120 fps and there's no sound. Here's a log for you 
RetroArch [INFO] :: Redirecting save file to "/storage/roms/nes/10 Yard Fight.sr - Pastebin.com I'm using the generic 64 build on an i3.
Had some time to test so I jumped on 20171101 fixed the boot loop from the previous version. Could have been the downgraded x.org causing the issue? Thanks for the update, there are some great improvements
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.

Guys, when i try to change language in retroarch nothing occurend. How i can change language in retroarch. and the second question how (or where) i can set a gamepad button combination to easy exit from retroarch?
Look for hot keys in retroarch input. Set a button to act as the hokey and then set a button to exit.
If I install it from scratch, after booting into the system, I can see the LE logo and then it switches to a blank black screen.
Then I can see the cursor coming up but after some time it dissapears and then comes back again.
This happens ages of time, the display stays black and the cursor keeps blinking. I can hear the hard disk working all the time.
I`ve been waiting for minutes.
It looks like a boot loop.
I`ve used the "LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0-devel-20170108.img.gz" image.
I have the same issue after upgrading from 20170102. Had to downgrade back to solve the boot loop.
A few of us have had to resize the system partition. It might be worth making a sticky note
I use psxrearmed on x64 just use the retroarch online updates to install cores. I also change quite a few cores around to suit my needs its a personal preference.
New build 20160930 for generic uploading:- Added TigerVNC (systemctl start tigervnc ; systemctl enable tigervnc) - VNC password is "libre"
- Added Vulkan demos
Vnc working great What are vulkan demos and how do run them?
Vice seems to work now, think the problem was my end.
Awesome stuff as usual mate. How did you get on with ps2 after? I remember you mentioning you were trying to get it in the build before you'r holiday.
Just noticed my screensaver also doesn't play with Bluetooth enabled. Using the x64 generic latest build.

Thank you very much!!! This works for me!!
Your welcome mate
Hello Lefty
thank you for your help! I done this like you said. It works with the emulationstation but with retroarch didnt work. I found the relevant sh. in usr/bin of retroarch and added it like with emulationstation. But when i want to open the retroarch, nothing happens! It will go back to the main menü only:-(
Can you help me with that please?
Sorry for my bad english:-(
Try replacing the contents of the launchers.xml "/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.advanced.launcher" with the contents from this Or edit yours accordingly. Works fine my end.
Yeah none the wiser mate I was playing it a few weeks back I actually beat it In the log you can see multiple attempts at different versions I tested. Ill try them unzipped.
OK only one is showing in the log but i tried a wide rage of games.
Having an issue loading c64 on x64 generic. Here's a log. I'm sure it was fine loading a zip in previous builds. It just hangs on the main c64 screen with the cursor blinking rapidly.
