Here is a current log, and the following behavior:

the latest LE8Remix.img in downloads

LibreELEC is able to boot as VM in UnRaid with only GTX 1050Ti video passed through, and onboard "ALSA: HDA Intel, ALC262 Analog" passed through and detected as only available sound output device in Kodi settings. Working as expected. All Kodi functionality is working as intended. Sound, Video, very fast smooth experience.

I did change the video_driver to "gl" as suggested in the retroarch.cfg file. This made it possible to play a game on all systems I have roms for. Except for the Wii and GameCube titles. I can see Dolphin launch when selecting a title from ES, but it crashes almost immediately(a second after the gui appears, it crashes and goes back to Kodi)

Also, there is no sound in gameplay. So I think i need to re-examine the asound.conf file, now that I have eliminated the GFX card audio outputs to simplify those available to the VM(only the Intel audio out)

Also there is no sound output in Spotify. And it continues not to play songs. from any playlists. Occasionally, while skipping through a large public playlist, song after song, it will come across a song that has a video attached to it. those songs, as well as short video advertisements, will in fact play. i can watch the progress bar move as expected for a playback. But no sound. and then skipping to next song makes it return to not playing anything successfully and jumping along to the next song. An error appears along the top of the screen, I will attach a photo to show shortly

Thank you both escalade & 5schatten for both your works, and your help and support. I come from years of android development(please see Bliss) and a few years of Kodi experience. As well as some Windows based emulation. Former owner of Raspberry products. But I appreciate your patience so much because LibreELEC and ES/Retroarch/Dolphin are not my fortay at all.

I have now set the asound.conf:

My VM has the Nvidia GTX 1050Ti video and audio passed through, and I have an additional Intel onboard soundcard passed through. BTW this Intel soundcard output works perfectly with Kodi. I entered the correct alsa device as 2.1 to match my speaker setup in asound.conf.

This did not improve Spotify

Unable to tell if sound is working in games because I am still unable to launch anything from ES.

..... So what command can I set in Kodi as custom shortcut to launch RetroArch? I think the gui can be used to change driver in RA settings to OpenGL?

Otherwise, how to edit and what file via ssh/samba?

I'm still not getting Dolphin to open and remain open. Crashes after a second or 2. I need that to remain open to use the gui to set OpenGL again, otherwise, how to edit what file via ssh/samba

Can I request a list of suggested Kodi shortcuts added to OP, commands to directly launch:

1. Emulation Station

2. RetroArch

3. Dolphin

4. Chrome

5. Spotify

Quote from escalade

As for launching apps, try using XBMC.RunScript which is what I switched to as XBMC.System.Exec was causing problems (don't recall the details right now).

Check your es_systems.cfg and verify that the command to run Dolphin is correct, I might have forgotten to change it back after switching to Dolphin standalone again.

If you simply read the first post, which you already should have done, the instructions on how to get the logs are provided there.

I wasn't sure which logfile was relevant, so i just attatched the .zip containing them all

I began by turning on logging in settings=system-logging

Then I launched ES and tried to play several games from various systems, no games would launch no matter the system selected

Then I launched Chrome successfully from my home shortcut

Then I launched Spotify and tried to play some songs

this is the entry in es-systems.cfg:

<system>

<name>wii</name>

<fullname>Nintendo Wii</fullname>

<path>/storage/roms/unraid/wii</path>

<extension>.gcm .iso .wbfs .ciso .gcz .elf .dol .dff</extension>

<command>/usr/bin/dolphin.start -e %ROM%</command>

<platform>wii</platform>

</system>

please verify the appropiate command using "XBMC.RunScript*what goes here?*" for ES, Spotify, Chrome, RetroArch

I'm not sure if it should be pointing to a .sh, a .py, or a "-start"/".start" command

anything else I can provide to troubleshoot this, please let me know, and thanks again. Just an additional note... the behavior was the same with ES and Spotify on fresh install of LE as well as after installing my personal build. (just eliminating that as a factor)

Ive recently installed for the first time using this video as a guide:

SpaceInvaderOne's video guide for LE8Remix

I am running as a VM in UnRaid with the following specs: 8cores @3.3ghz, 4gb ram, Nvidia GTX 1050Ti

LibreELEC runs great... I was able to install my personal wizard.zip and install my personal build. Media playback from local library as well as third party add-ons all working as expected.

I was able to locate the .sh's in /storage/usr/bin/ to set custom shortcuts in my skin to launch ES, RA,Chrome, Spotify using:

XBMC.System.Exec(/usr/bin/*.sh)

However, I am experiencing a few issues which I hope can be resolved:

Spotify: loads fine and I am able to login. When I attempt to play a song or a playlist, no songs will play. I can login on other devices in my home and play content fine. But in LE8REMIX, skips through a playlist and reports that each song is unavailable. No songs will play. Has anyone experienced this? And is there a workaround?

Also, Emulation station launches fine. I am able to cycle through systems and see my games. I have also placed the bios files in the /roms/bios directory. Am able to play games that appear to be using RetroArch. However, Wii and GC games will attempt to launch Dolphin, and Dolphin will immediately close.

I went back into Kodi(will take me some time to get used to calling it OibreELEC ) and set a custom shortcut to launch dolphin by itself. Which works, it opens and doesn't not immediately close like when launched via selecting a game via ES. However, when attempting to play a GC or Wii game from within Dolphin, it tells me I'm using the wxWidget version of dolphin, which will soon lose support, and asks why I am not using the QT version. When clicking okay, Dolphin closes and I am sent back to LE.

I do not know why ? I did think that the Dolphin version in use had been updated to the QT already? Regardless... I am unable to play any games through Dolphin.

Perhaps I am missing some configuration? Or need to enable/disable some default settings?

I think this project is awesome and would love to be able to enjoy it as my daily driver. LibreELEC, as well as migrate my retro gaming collection over to the same distro for seamless transition between Retro Gaming, Music, Web browsing, and of course Movies and Television Shows & Live TV.

Please advise on how to successfully initiate a gameplay via Dolphin.

I am new to all of this, so not sure which logs to obtain in order to help in h lping me, but I can certainly obtain them with a little instruction.

I did read through the pages here as well as on the LE9 thread to try and find a solution but did not see anybody reporting similar issues.

Please and thank you in advance
