If its to be used on a S905, ES gives problems when using CEC, the program will segfault when it returns from a game, at least this was when I tried it a few months back, I had to remove CEC support for my build when this happened. And my 2 cents, I also do not see the benefit from using CEC with ES .

I understand the motivation for Retropie since ES is basically your gui and if you just want to watch a movie it can be annoying to get a controller / keyboard everytime you want to switch to Kodi. But since in my build Kodi is controllable by remote & IMHO if I want to play a game I connect a gamepad anyway so I don't really understand the actual usecase.

So I've checked your libcec version and it's 4.x too but still an quite old version compared to the recent LE 9 one. I never really used cec so how can I trigger the error? Is it enough to run ES with enabled cec on a tv with cec support?

I dont want play with the remote, i want to navigate and exit ES with the Remote

[Feature] Control EmulationStation via HDMI CEC remote control · Issue #421 · Aloshi/EmulationStation · GitHub

GitHub - dillbyrne/es-cec-input: TV CEC remote control support for Emulation Station (ES in RetroPie)

Well basically ES can support CEC more or less out of the box by libcec v2.7.6RP installs without CEC support · Issue #508 · RetroPie/EmulationStation · GitHub so I can remove a patch that skipped libcec linking but I have no clue if it will work and still I don't know what's the benefit of it in the actual use case

Is it possible to configure an Remote or the Kodi Keymap to Navigate in Emulationstation?

Emulationstation uses SDL2 to detect inputs devices. If you want to play games you still need a controller so what is the purpose of browsing ES with a remote?

Well i have a pretty decent system wich can handle it. Space is not a problem because i linked the storage\roms folder to a NAS share. But i will play around with it and try to add it myself.

Adding a package is not the problem but I can't test it with my Intel IPG I also use NFS shares to access my stuff but anyway I hardly doubt this early version will work great

Is there any change of adding RPCS3 to this build ?

Release v0.0.5 Alpha · RPCS3/rpcs3 · GitHub

RPCS3 - Compatibility List

Well version v0.0.5 Alpha (!) so are there any popular games that really works well? I've played around with it in the past but to run ps3 games you would need a huge amount of space, probably a high end spec CPU and a decent GPU so imho it's a waste of time right now

The Problem ist the dtb.file that gives only this size. The user who gave me the resized img gave me a nw dtb.img for my Box and now

LibreELEC:~ # df -h

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/system 739.9M 507.8M 216.8M 70% /Flash

Display More

Well there is a patch WIP for the VIM and other systems but I'm not sure if it will work for 3.14 something since this kernel is basically dead.

I have 2 suggestions/questions about the makemkv add on

As far as i understand the key updater will only run if you click on the makemkv add on icon, correct?

1e Is it possible to run the key updater when you install the add on? This would eliminate the extra click on the icon witch could be forgotten

2e is it possible to make the key updater run at every system start? Or every week or so.

This would fully automate the key update process

Kodi itself does not use any of the supplied binaries but the libs. Also the key has to be renewed every 2 or three monts? If you really need to automate this key update you can create a cron job as well.

Quote from Cael

5schatten given that the RC builds now require a 1GB Boot/System partition Might wanna update that in the important notes btw :p

Well there is this statment around for ages. Updates have might been possible but never have been really supported by me.

Quote from niabi

I tried with a clean version of Ubuntu 18 and that works with your hashes, so I assume there is something wrong with 16

Pretty strange... anyway I know you've made an Sx05RE build so feel free to create some PRs if you have some useful additions

Quote from niabi

It wasn't a clean install, but I might be able to do test that in the weekend.

I actually upgraded to 18 yesterday, but still got the same problem, so who knows, its not a big deal for me, but just pointing it out

Could be, pretty weird and like you said stupid, but oh well.

I was wondering if this happens at upgraded systems & clean installs as well. I use Linux Mint 18.x which is based on Ubuntu 18.04 but without having these problems. Anyway it's easy to fix but awkward. On the other hand I never had a wrong hash when I pulled upstream code so if the hash differs it's might still system related.

Quote from niabi

I also use Ubuntu 16.04, so it might be a problem with Ubuntu. Thanks for the reply

So maybe it's time for sudo apt dist-upgrade I have no clue why the hash sometimes differs. I downloaded it on my Windows systems with 40char hash and got a diffrent hash too... weird. I suspect this happens because Github might compresses the packages on the fly and maybe some servers have diffrent compressions levels?!

Beta RC2b is online for generic / RPi / KVIM | C2 & S905 building

• updated to latest LE9.0 upstream
• updated Generic/RPi kernel to 4.19.8
• fixed repo installation bug in Kodi 18 RC2
• updated to mesa 18.3.1 release
• updated Qt to 5.11.3
• updated several libretro-cores
• updated dolphin & citra
• updated vulkan tools to 1.1.95

Quote from graschbaten

i didnt think so

what's the output of df -h

EDIT:

well which build does still offer official eMMC installation? Even CE has no option for this How to install CoreELEC - Guides - CoreELEC Forums

beside th fact that they still include this script https://github.com/coreelec/coreelec/blob/master/projects/amlogic/filesystem/usr/sbin/installtointernal but don't officially support it Coreelec to EMMC? - Installation and Booting - CoreELEC Forums

Quote from niabi

Hey 5schatten may I ask what command are you using to compile this for amlogic s905? I get a lot of checksum errors that I have to manually fix if I use this command:

Code

PROJECT=Amlogic ARCH=arm DEVICE=S905 make image

maybe its something on my end but it seems weird, after I change the checksums everything compiles fine.

I guess you're refering to this? Fix many wrong checksums · shantigilbert/LibreELEC.tv@9fdb332 · GitHub Well maybe something like this? Fixing some SHA256sum + fix dosbox-sdl2 build by magicseb · Pull Request #2 · 5schatten/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

I deleted the source file & downloaded it again

What kind of Linux distro do you use? Anyway if it works for you afterwards Maybe you get a slightly different package if you download it from another github server

Quote from graschbaten

My Problem is the System Partition is to big and i can´t install to internal. It works with v16 and a little tweak in the install to internal script.

The Navigation from USB in Libreelec is to laggy for me.

If you want more Space in the cloud use MEGA.nz there is 50GB free

Well it's not about the space it's about supporting several diffrent build versions. I changed a lot of config stuff in between so I remove outdated builds. If my image exceeds your partition size can't you resize it?

Can you reupload the latest v16 for s905 Amlogic Boxes?

Whats wrong with the latest build, well beside a bug Kodi 18 RC2 introduced...

Quote from Waspoeder

Wow nice

This is the same as Escalade's ?

Nice work m8 gonna install it when my house is done (march)

Will donate money and trying to help with stuff

cheers

Well I forked escalades build back in the days but this one is based on LE 9.x completely reworked & comes with more emulators & frontends. But the overall goal & experience is the same. Add gaming functionality to a LibreELEC.

Quote from hybridr

Thanks again 5schatten. I should have looked closer. Here's my log for one of the games I have. Here's the log for Sonic. What's causing the Bus Error? How do I fix it? Thank you.

Just a wild guess since Picodrive is not included in my build. You've downloaded libretro cores from the libretro buildbot which were built for and by a different build system, screwed up your system and did not thought it's worth to mention it? Delete the cores in \\your-device\Configfiles\retroarch\cores reboot your system and maybe stop downloading cores if you're not sure if they have been tested for your system.

I'm pretty sure you did this because I spent quite some time to debug a non-existent problem until I remembered you've mentioned this....

Quote from hybridr

I'm running with genesis plus gx and it will quit part way. Picodrive doesn't work at all.

5schatten given i need to get off my lazy duff and Just get a USB reader soon (im getting mighty tired of swapping that Mac mini in n out so much) with how you've made the /flash Fat32 partition's FS protected its not possible to make a change remotely say to config.txt thru putty unless you have something in /storage im just not seeing that im bloody well blind too? since before i go n backup my specially partitioned spare SD card for my Rooted Retron5, and use it as a test for the upstream base LE9 to see if the bug is still present, i want to see if manually telling it to set SDTV_Mode=1 (being im in the US / using an NTSC tv) would clear this up and sidestep the issue if it even IS an issue.

5schatten There is a typo in :

Indeed -> but I guess it was obvious fixed!

Quote from graschbaten

What´s your Question?

?

Quote from Cael

Setting Gear icon-> System-> Display

So you talk about Kodi? Well I'm not altering Kodi in any way so it's probably an upstream bug. Install LE 9.0 Alpha versions to see if this problem does not occur there.

Quote from Cael

i have noticed something strange, that wasn't occurring w/ the beta builds.

the CRT TV i use kinda needs replacing (it has an overscan problem and display goes outside the screen somewhat. ) so i haveto w/ alot of systems, make adjustments where possible. The Pi? its been bit of a handfull, w/ the beta builds of RR i only had to set video Overscan adjustments once, and that was the end of it. Now, its resetting on every reboot. what changed since Beta 16 to RC 2a in regards to to video calibration? and for any logs you'd need which one would be helpful?

Well where do you have to set overscan again after every reboot?
