How can I do that?

EDIT: I have also a problem with Dolphin, when launching a game I have a window "failed to create shared context for shader compiling" with 2 buttons "ok" and "ignore for this session". if I click ok the game launch, how can I remove this window?

FYI I needed to create the nokms file in retroarch config dir to make retroarch work

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/amdgpu#dri_level

Probably related to dri2 I think I remember I had the same problem back in the days cause the Intel driver was set to dri2 too.

Can you run Retroarch (without nokms!) & Dolphin and upload the log files located in /var/log  ?

Well for a number of reasons, but for now you are right about building it myself is not necessary

1e i don't use your libreelec version, but a standard 8.2.5

2e i have a big stack of blu-ray discs that i won't be able to play on Linux without makemkv

3e if you would decide to abandon this version and so the makemkv add on i would like to be able to continue and update it myself.

4e i like to learn new things

So can and or will you give instructions to update the makemkv add on?

And it is absolutely not the case that i don't trust your work!

Well the thing is even if I would abandon this fork the code is online so you could easily fork and keep it yourself. If you use a LE8 build keep in mind that these use older package versions so it might lead to problems. Updating the package itself is straightforward if it builds. In the past several patches were needed to make it work i.e. because ffmpeg changed function names or LEs busybox had a diffrent wget implementation. So in theorie changing PKG_VERSION & PKG_SHA256 should allow to update but it's not guaranteed to work.

Quote from duck7000

Oke i understand, thanks for the explaining!

It's working now, i found the zip in the target dir!

One question left, how do i update the makemkv addon? simply by changing the PKG_VERSION="1.12.3"?

Well you probably need to update the makemkv-bin package too. But to be honest why do you bother build this addon yourself?

Any chance this will work on a S905X2? the graphics chip is different and just want to confirm before buying a box base on S905X2 such as the one below. Thanks

Tried, does not work either. I will give it a try without the GPU.

Better give the onboard HDMI output a try...

Quote from rooty

Hey 5schatten ,

just a few questions, haven't found anything related in this thread:

Are you planning to support BitTorrent and dm-crypt in this dist?

Not really since I don't use it myself Maybe if sky42 will build some stuff for LE9 I'll can "copy paste" it

Quote from bigboo

Alsa

Hmmm can you try the usePulseAudio ?

Quote from duck7000

I think i found the problem... i tried to compile it on the LE machine..

It is running now on my linuxmint 18.3 system.

Sorry about that

Is it normal that it is compiling everything? i thought it will only compile the addon?

It won't compile everything but the dependencies are mandatory.

PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET="toolchain makemkv-bin openssl expat ffmpeg zlib

LibreELEC.tv/package.mk at libreelec-9.0-rr · 5schatten/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

And of course these packages have dependencies too so once all are build it should start to build makemkv.

Quote from bigboo

5schatten I have an issue with amd hdmi audio (on two differents cards r7 260 and r9 270x), there are crackling noise and the audio has some kind of bad echo in it (sound repeats 3 times in kodi for example).

This issue happens both in kodi and retroarch, is it a know issue for amd hdmi audio?

What's your audio backend? ALSA or PulseAudio?

Quote from duck7000

I would like to know how i can compile the makemkv addon myself?

I tried create_addon makemkv but gives error :

./scripts/create_addon: config/functions: line 16: syntax error: unexpected "(" (expecting "fi")

Thanks

Works fine for me

./scripts/create_addon makemkv

Updated to Beta 13 from Beta 12.

No problems. Everything is running smoothly.

Except citra ... Still no audio.

Dolphin works fine.

Retroarch works fine and using the citra lib core, runs slow with audio.

You could try to create a file usePulseAudio in /storage/.config/ maybe this fixes your quirks. If your audio is "broken" in Citra it's probably because you use the Nvidia card for audio output.

Quote from milhouse

Yes sorry, I had misread the posts in this thread and thought the problem was with the cputemp script. I've closed the PR now.

The easiest solution to fix the problem with Kodi is to add:

Code

<advancedsettings>
  <cputempcommand>/usr/bin/cputemp</cputempcommand>
</advancedsettings>

in advancedsettings.xml.

NP -> maybe something for the LE Wiki?

Just to give you a "warning" cputemp: give RPi SoC sensor priority by MilhouseVH · Pull Request #3073 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub your problem lead to some updates for the cputemp script so once it's merged might you have to check it first if something is broken

Beta 13 is online:

• updated to latest LE9.0 upstream
• updated Generic & RPi kernel to 4.19
• added Kodi error message if asound.conf is not configured for generic systems -> no asound.conf = apps or emus won't start!
• updated several libretro-cores
• updated dolphin & citra
• switched fbalpha to fbalpha2018 to keep rom set compatibility -> fbalpha will probably need some rom set updates soon
• added beetle-pce-fast-libretro -> PC Engine
• added stella-libretro -> Atari 2600
• added libretro-atari800 -> Atari 5200
• added blueMSX-libretro -> MSX
• -> check out libretro docs for these emus and what bios/assets you'll need. I'll add some infos later to the FAQ
• added subfolders & systems for segacd | mastersystem | gamegear as bigboo suggested
• ! delete your es_systems.cfg before you update !

Quote from mrness

First of all kudos for keeping this distro up and running, it contains everything I want.

I encountered a minor annoyance. I use RR on a rpi3 B+ and I noticed that CPU temperature displayed in Kodi's system info is utterly wrong, it says CPU is at 18-19 C degrees while vcgencmd measure_temp and /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp correctly report a temperature above 55 degrees.

This issue appeared the moment I placed this command in my /storage/.config/autostart.sh:

dtoverlay w1-gpio gpiopin=4

I grepped for "cputemp" in .kodi and found nothing relevant. Any idea how to fix this?

Well I guess you use a 1-wire temperature sensor to measure the temperatur? Where is the sensor located or what exactly do you measure? Maybe the temperatur in Kodi shows then temperature the sensor reports?

I've talked to a LE dev and he pointed out this script:

LibreELEC.tv/cputemp at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Quote

it checks various locations for a usable temperature before finally using /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp on RPi - it could be that enabling w1-gpio causes another node to appear in /sys which `cputemp` then uses instead of the cpu sensor

Can you check if you have more devices in /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp or /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp or something like this? Also check if  /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/temp1_input exists.

I'm watching TV in MPEG2 stream, using TVheadend PVR in kodi. This bug reported in FHD channels. About refreshrate in kodi i don't now, but i will test it in few hours thanks for your reply and and your work

I will give you more information.
Very good news abut mainline kernel update!!!!

Well have you tried to adjust your refresh rate? Check https://kodi.wiki/view/settings/videos#playback Adjust display refresh rate to match video

Quote from psycmos

After some tests, it's not good for dayly use because have one strange glitch effect on image.
Watching tv, every 3 secounds (+/-) is drop frames, causing strange image effect.

Maybe comes from Odroid C2 sources...

Beer is one the way!

Can you state some information about what kind of TV? SD or HD what refresh rate is set in Kodi? Press o while you watch TV to get some data about the media you watch.

There was a known bug in Kodi too [VideoPlayer] Initialize maxspeedadjust / remove roundings in Updateframerate by peak3d · Pull Request #14555 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub have you updated to beta 12?

The thing is all S905(X) stuff still runs with kernel 3.14.29 which is obviously pretty outdated. So maybe it's kernel related but within the next month's mainline kernel is coming so brace yourself

Quote from Ae3NerdGod

You know, the usual nonsense.

Quote from Ae3NerdGod

[...] (and when i say official i mean the one on the main download page, published stable one;[...]

[...] I rebased, updated and adjusted the packages for LE9.0-devel [...] so tell me and the audience why you think the stable build aka LE 8.2 which is about 4695 commits behind master has still much in common with my build.

Also my section about bugs literally states:

If your problem exists on regular LibreELEC then create a new thread. That means you should compare with regular LE9.0-devel if possible. Please include a debug log with all bug reports as this greatly increases your chances of anyone taking an interest in your issue.

But go on and enlighten me why you compare this build to LE 8.2 or escalades LE 8.2 Remix. I guess if your Windows 10 fails to run a program you're going to rant in a Windows 8 support forum about that, don't you?

Quote from Ae3NerdGod

" security risk." oh yea, dont want nobody stealling all my important documents and credit card info off this FREAKIN LIBREELEC BUILD.

You're telling the world all day and night about bugs but did you ever thought about that maybe your setup is faulty? Is it maybe possible that your Gateway GT5056/C51MCP51 has a buggy bios? I mean we all know OEM mainboards have premium support and first class bios updates but anyway. Also the owner of this project literally told you:

It's either an exceptionally rare kernel/udev bug or there's something odd about your specific hardware. I'd guess the latter. It's not a scenario I recall seeing before and I've been hanging around various incarnations of the project since ~2011.

More than 30.000 users have a generic LE build up and running and nobody ever encountered your problem. So now you should check out Occam's razor - Wikipedia and think about what's more likely.

So all in all I'm tired of this. Since your buddy already has a Xbox controller get yourself a Xbox too and feel free to play your games.

Quote from Jondar

Yeah, I saw the Wiki post not long after I asked my initial question. Made me feel a little foolish, ah well.

Thanks for the sample config though!

~Jondar

No problem and since the LE wiki only covers CIFS you're maybe interested in the other "non-obvious" wiki too.

Quote from Ae3NerdGod

yea says the one with all the memes that shrug off bugs. btw on the topic of bugs, if you care to stop being an immature turdnugget of a person;
xbone bluetooth controlers control the mouse on your remix, and the back button actually makes it go back, despite what kodi, retro, or es sets it to. doesnt happen for escalade or official,granted it doesnt work at all in those build either (ps ive done "echo 1 > /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm")

also i cannot use ctrl+alt+F(x) to switch to other consoles, they all just have a blinking cursor. also works fine in escalade and official.

so yea if you care to actually fix anything instead of instantly insinuating its user error be my guest...

Quote from Jondar

Hi,

First of all, thanks for the build. I've had no major problems installing to my Intel NUC (5th Gen i7), what initial problems I did have, had solutions in the FAQ post.

One question. I'm new to these "multi-system" setups, and would like to be able to access ROM files in both retroarch and emulationstation over a network share I've setup on my NAS. Is it just a case of setting up a mount point on your build and getting it to load on startup (using something like autostart.sh)?

Thanks in advance,

~Jondar

Depends on what you want to use, I use NFS to load my roms https://openelec.tv/documentation/…-network-shares. As BlaBla1973 pointed out there are also options to use CIFS/SMB

One example of my config -> this file storage-roms-amiga.mount is located in /storage/.config/system.d

[Unit]
Description=amiga-roms@nsa325
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service

[Mount]
What=192.168.1.3:/i-data/22a34493/emulation/roms/amiga/fs-uae
Where=/storage/roms/amiga
Options=
Type=nfs

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Once it's enabled the network share loads upon start of your system and you can access your games from all devices that load this share.

The i5-7600 has an Intel HD Graphics 630 integrated and it supports basically all you need HD Graphics 630 - Intel - WikiChip so it depends on your motherboard & video output if 4k works flawless.

But can someone give a brief update about the current state of linux and HDR HDR Support Is Being Worked On For Linux's DRM Code - Phoronix

Hello, i bought a week ago a rock64 4g and about a month ago the hdd im using with it, and im having random crashes and they are getting me crazy, im not sure if they are because of the hdd, the rock64, the psu or what, its runing on a 16mb SD card sandisk ultra (i dont need a bigger SD since im using it as NAS). i tried everything i can imagine and im still having random crashes, im not a very advanced user, but im also not a total noob, its runing actually on the ayufan img omv over jessie arm64 0.5.15, with ssh open when the crash happens i get:
