Always fresh install. Format SD card and write img. Always hangs in first boot.
I try update if the problem were in flash img program but I can dismiss it.
Can be the problem be using arm vs aarch?
I dont know but if only happend to me its very strange. I have other boards so dont worry.
Thanks!!!
Updating from a CE build failed too? It should not matter what arch you used before if you create a fresh sd 
I try LE reborn remix and same result.
You tried to update an existing build or you created a fresh sdcard with my build? You can't update a vanilla LE 9 build to mine.
Do I have a question in the build for amlogic s905 * how does it work, using amremote or meson-ir?
I don't think we need lua at all for ARM, that was one of the things I was trying to get rid of but I forgot to finish it xD
do you know if that patch breaks anything for AML?
Haven't tried but since this patch is only mmal related it should not affect any other system. Yeah I probably get rid of lua too because if we don't build the vlc binary & disable lua I don't see why we would need it anyway
When I first started this build the only one that was doing anything similar to what I wanted was AlexELEC, so I borrowed a lot of the code from it, that package was one of them, so I honestly have no idea whats the purpose of that line. I had to change a few things on VLC to make everything work for me, but I never changed that line, since well...it worked for my S905. I guess you could use a conditional statement to remove it for the RBPI or if it doesn't break anything on the other systems just remove it all-together.
Fair enough... so I used escalades package, who used your package and finally you used AlexELEC as base 
Another point is --disable-lua \ because if lua is disabled why do we need it for ARM? My approach was quite the same... I needed a VLC package & ES builds fine with it but since bigboo stumbled uppon non working video previews I try to make things "right" 
I guess I drop the whole move plugins stuff because this only makes sense for dev purposes IMHO... so if a plugin is missing or does not work you can easily upload it without rebuilding the whole image.
The video preview works now with this patch set Enable MMAL support · RPi-Distro/vlc@8ba628d · GitHub and VLC 3.0.3 but since 3.0.5 was released today I'll give it a try.
Unfortunately no
I've never used RPI with LE
Well it works for my Vim but I guess it's a VLC mmal hardware acceleration problem. 
EDIT:
niabi what's the purpose of this? I figured out there was no video output for RPi because the plugins haven't been updated because they were located in ~/.config/vlc/plugins so why do you move them?
Its definitely missing libs, I had to do compile gstreamer with gst-libav gst-plugins-base and gst-plugins-good to be able to view videos on Pegasus.
alto they are a bit old this is the whole package I used for Pegasus.
https://github.com/shantigilbert/coreelec/tree/sx05re/packages/sx05re/pegasus-frontend
I fixed this and now the video previews work fine in Pegasus but looks like the preview is broken for ES & RPi... I've got sound output but it stutters & no video at all. Any thoughts about that?
5schatten there is another issue with Pegasus, when you play a game and exit the emulator back to Pegasus, the UI goes back to the first game of the first system and not to the game you have just played like with ES.
Well it's an Alpha10 something build... Releases · mmatyas/pegasus-frontend · GitHub so expect some quirks & bugs.
Edit:
Announcing Pegasus Frontend - RetroPie Forum
Feel free to contribute 
I'll revert to the suggested git commit which also keeps compatibility to gameOS & the ES2 theme.
Edit2:
Looks like kernel 4.20 fixed whatever was broken in kernel 4.19 & docker exits PCSX2 again. So it should be possible to run PS2 games again without rebooting the system afterwards.
oh ok! I have a question about that, why do you still create .tar images? since img.gz can be used for both new installs and updates, it seems redundant
The buildsystem creates both anyway & in some cases img.gz files won't work for updates (some stuff e.g. for Wetek) also .tar might updates faster cause it's not "heavily" compressed like the .img.gz file.
hey great but video preview still doesn't works for me in Pegasus (log included :p )
Because these builds don't include the fix. It takes a while to create new images for all targets, Uploading a build that includes Kodi 18 RC3 had priotrity for me.
Build RC3 201851-1acbb17 is online
Display More1. make the flash partition writable:
Codemount -o remount,rw /flash2. edit /flash/syslinux.cfg, find the line starting with "APPEND boot=" and add to it radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 kernel command-line switches for GCN 1.0 GPUs or radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 for GCN 1.1 GPUs.
3. save and reboot
for es_sytems I agree with you but it's cool to have good and complete default options.
I'll put a log later for pegasus!
Thx well it doesn't hurt to add the file formats so I'll update es_systems then. I've read a bit about video scraping and after some hours of trial and error it works fine with Universal XML Scraper & ES and of course it does not work with Pegasus but I have already a log & will see whats wrong wiht it.
Probably some missing decoder lib or else... niabi any hints?

Display MoreThank you for this. I have a 64bit PC. Coming from Lakka - how do the emulators perform while in LibreELEC - do they run simultaneously and you can just shut them when needed and still be within LibreELEC? I see the RetroPlayer looks is gaining traction with a lot of these Remix features - weighing the options
. Is there N64 support and such yet OpenGL or?
Another note, can anyone confirm with a 64bit PC that the Chrome browser (or if another browser is out there) will allow me to view any website I go to.. stream YouTube, any embedded flash stream websites, Netflix, etc?
For instance, I watch sports through espn.com and they have an embedded web player - can I presume that everything will play through Chrome just as on a regular PC windows OS - or does this Chrome on LibreELEC have limitations with plugins, flash players, etc?
Open to other suggestions to browse the web through LibreELEC if they are out there besides Chrome.
Thank you
5schatten and anyone else
I want to load the Dolphin, ParallelN64 and Reicast cores that are missing from RetroPlayer in LibreELEC beta 9 versions. I have a 64bit PC, so don't have any hardware limitations.
Is this Lakka process the same for compiling cores into LibreELEC? http://www.lakka.tv/doc/packaging-a-libretro-core-for-lakka/
Can someone help translate this into working with RetroPlayer?
The cores are GitHub - libretro/parallel-n64: Optimized/rewritten Nintendo 64 emulator made specifically for Libretro. Originally based on Mupen64 Plus. GitHub - libretro/reicast-emulator: Reicast is a multiplatform Sega Dreamcast emulator GitHub - libretro/dolphin: Dolphin is a GameCube / Wii emulator, allowing you to play games for these two platforms on PC with improvements.
Well this is not a Retrplayer support thread as stated in the first post which you probably haven't read. I have no clue if OpenGL is finally supported and libretro-Dolphin is basically a "nice to have" but not a real competitor for standalone Dolphin. If you need Kodi game addons check out this Kodi game-related extensions · GitHub fork it & have fun creating new packages that probably won't run nor anybody uses since I'm curious how Kodi will handle a Wiimote.
About Chrome well it's the stock browser so I have guess all webplayers should run.
Display MoreI just tested amdgpu instead of radeon driver on my Radeon r9 270x and it's MUCH better, I think you should enable it by default for GCN 1.0 and 1.1 cards:
1. Vulkan now works!
2. KMS works!
3. no more error message when booting Dolphin (using Vulkan, GL still have the problem)
but I still have the problem of bad HDMI sound output
And a new problem: when loading a game in Dolphin, my gamepad is not working, like it's not mapped to the GC controller, instead the analog stick is mapped to a mouse cursor that I can move onscreen but it does nothing.
and one last suggestion: you should add .chd format for Saturn and PSX in es_systems for x86-64 build, they are supporterd by beetle cores
EDIT:just tried pegasus, video preview is not working here
Well I guess you've altered the kernel command line? Can you write down a brief summary what steps it takes to make it run & I'll add it to FAQ section. I guess there's reason why AMD does not use the AMDGPU driver at default for these cards so maybe not all work out of the box.
If Dolphin runs fine with the Vulkan backend I wouldn't care about OpenGL at all. Also it's either a Mesa 3D or Dolphin bug so nothing I concern about
Since it's still kernel 4.19.x there won't be any changes regarding the AMD audio driver... maybe it's included in 4.20/4.21 but who knows
Your gamepads are not autoconfigured so you have to set them up at first. I can add the .chd file format but my es_systems is just a suggestion and everyone can change it according to their needs.
I never tried video previews in ES or Pegasus because IMHO it's just a space consuming gimmick but if it's broken I need a log file.
I tried it and it worked most of the times, but 1 out of 10 times it crashed back to Kodi, but this might also be on my side not sure if its my box+tv combo are the best for this tests, but at least is not all the times like it was before.
Just a segfault or something interesting in the logs? As I said I never used it at all and have no clue how to set up CEC
Display MoreHello,
I'm using Lakka on RaspPi2, I ssh to Lakka w/ root/root, but I can;t edit the cfg file under /etc, it's still readonly.
How can I do this?
BTW, why I change the default core to MAME, but seems it's reseting everytime I reboot..
Thanks!!

Cool maybe they fixed it. I am compiling your latest and I will test it on my box
Pull the latest commits since I forgot to set the framebuffer vars in the start script
I am glad I am not the only one struggling with the static linking for QT! I must have compiled QT about 100 times, with a crappy laptop that took around 20 minutes to compile
wish I could help more, sorry
No problem it works for all targets but it would save some time and space if I could properly skip them
EDIT:
Well looks like libcec works for me... tested ES on my Vim and it started and ran games.
Unfortunately I don't, I had to do so much trial and error to get QT everywhere to work for Pegasus I think I had a few nightmares. But I did get help here Qt Development | Qt Forum
Well I'm well aware of the struggle to get pegasus up and running. Since the developer only refers to some general distro packages it's hard to find out what exactly is needed and also the static linked binary did not help me to get all libs, plugins & qml files together. I recompiled qt countless times until everything worked... also gstreamer is quite *!&$%§! since it's meson build is quite nice but does not work well if it comes to detect all include files.
So I guess I will have to enter the QT Forum and ask for some advises how to minimize the amount of libs.
Yeah that makes sense for Retropie.
On my 2 TVs (one that doesn't even have CEC) ES just crashes after exiting with CEC enabled, since I run it as a service it will just restart, but if I run it from the command line I can see it segfaults. But as I mentioned not sure if this was fixed recently or not as I had no use for it and haven't tried since then.
Shouldn't matter how you start them because I use Kodi to launch a python script that basically tells systemd to run a (ba)sh script that grabs profile.d stuff to set env vars and then runs the binary... so all in all it's more or less the same result but a different approach.
I never tried one of your builds but had a look into them when I pieced together qt for the arm builds. Do you have any "documentation" or something where I can get some information? Since I need more qt modules for dolphin and citra I can't get rid of many of them but it would be nice to get rid of the printer stuff for example. Even if no-cups & stuff is set I still have this one in my sysroot
