  • Bluetooth does not find a device ASRock J5005 - Intel Wireless AC 3165

    Thank you for your further investigation, heitbaum !

    I did a BIOS reset and tried both secure/insecure boot and Fast Boot enabled and disabled.

    Do you have more ideas?

    Not sure, if it is worth to waste your time - you surely have more important things to do...?

    I could return it to the seller and buy a Wireless-AC 9560 which we know it works. What do you think?

    Thanks!

  • LibreELEC (Matrix) 10.0 BETA2

    TVheadend works great after migration from LE9 to an USB Key.

    Just flashed the latest LE10b2 beta image to an USB Key and migrated the data from the same machine to the USB key with following script.

    After doing the sound settings and installing the TVh Server and Client in Kodi, all is working fine.

    I was really scared to upgrade, but the main feature (for me) works as it should.

    I really appreciate your hard work!

    I don't see it as a recommendation when the Asrock TSD mentions "Kindly try...". :dodgy:

    you are right.

    Thank you so much for investigating heitbaum ! LE10b2 is not downloadable yet, right? I would love to test b2 as soon as it is available.

    Currently neither any WiFi is showing up, nor any Bluetooth device. Sporadically my 8bitdo gamepad shows up when in pairing mode. Compared to the RPi4 there should be at least a BT power plug showing up as well.

  • Bluetooth does not find a device ASRock J5005 - Intel Wireless AC 3165

    Hi Klojum sorry to bring this old thread up again. But I still struggle with Bluetooth in my machine and I was wondering if you have long-term experience with AC 9560 and if you tested the card with LibreELEC.

    Meanwhile I bought another Bluetooth card (AX200) but it does not work very good either. The reason I wanted to pick this up again is, that I am currently testing LE10 with a RPi4. The Raspberry sits on top of my J5005 and finds many BT devices in seconds while the J5005 doesn't. I can pair e.g. my gamepads only via bluetoothctl.

    So the card and bluetooth basically works but by far not as good as the with RPi. There might be something wrong with my board...?

    Thanks

    Hi all,

    did anyone get 8BitDo Gamepads to work with x86 natively (without dongle) in LibreELEC(-RR)?

    I have a ASrock J5005 and tested two intel M.2 cards without success. I get them paired only via bluetoothctl but they lose the connection quite immediately.

    .

    They work flawlessly on RPi4 and LibreELEC 10.

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Thanks

    Edit: I check in another thread, if bluetooth is working properly - guess there is something wrong with my system: RE: Bluetooth does not find a device ASRock J5005 - Intel Wireless AC 3165

    An i3-9100 should run GC/Wii, PS2 and even some PS3 games too

    NP - check out duckstation with opengl again, the core was rebased on master and was ~700 commits behind. So maybe it'll fix your issues

    played THPS2 yesterday and it runs just fine in ES - it was so much fun to play. So many *pressstart->retries* after the first failed trick. lol

    I did not change the settings in Retroarch anymore. Couldn't this be fixed due to the right sound settings I have now? Anyway....

    I will playground with the settings to get a bit more experienced with the whole thing.

    ...And I guess I have to switch to a more powerful machine sooner or later 8o

    I've tested Mario Kart for GC & it work's flawless with the libretro core, did you still use Vulkan as RA video driver? Anyway I would highly recommend standalone Dolphin since it's up-to-date.

    Well that's the intention - at least the basic functionality should be configurable without cli hassle, my setup functions should cover the usual usecases and load & unload PA modules when you're using the gaming extensions, so Kodi & it's settings are completely untouched. Technically you can switch Kodi over to PulseAudio if you want to use Bluetooth audio, then my scripts still set up all emulators for PA usage and it should also work fine, at least when I tested it with some BT headsets & speakers.

    Then have fun playing some GC games!

    Sorry for the late reply.

    Yes - Retroarch is still on Vulkan. Will follow your recommendation and use standalone Dolphin.

    Thank you for your support!

    Oh I read that.

    1. You should try a more recent build which includes more recent duckstation builds for psx games or just try out beetle-psx, pcsx_rearmed

    2. The J5005 isn't exactly a highend system & from my personally experience with my J3455-ITX some simpler GC/Wii games will run but don't have high expectations especially if it's a passiv cooled system. You should also focus on dolphin standalone which ES starts, the dolphin libretro core is pretty dated.

    3. You should use PulseAudio as audioserver, Kodi only relies on ALSA for passthrough usage. If sound is stuttering or else it's most likely because your system does not emulate the games fast enough which leads to audio quirks.

    Thought you meant that I have to change the Kodi settings to Pulseaudio. Sorry for my misunderstanding.

    It works now with ALSA in Kodi and Pulseaudio as Backend in RR-Config. Thats even better (brilliant) from my perspective.

    Gamecube games hang when started from Retroarch. When started via ES it is working. Configured my gamepad with Dolphin as well and currently enjoy some Gamecube Tenn!s.

    I switched to to beetle-psx and it runs a lot better. After switching to the Vulkan driver in Retroarch, Gamecube runs very good for the most games as well. Very happy with that! When I start the games in ES, the gamepad doesn't work anymore - will investigate on this.

    Your are 100% right - the J5005 is not a beast and initially I did not intend to game on it.... But the Kodi hybrid builds seen here just made me want it :angel:

    Regarding Pulsausio: I would be glad, if you could give me a hint on how to make the switch.

    I've read through this but still stuck on the configuration:

    Well backing up Kodi add-ons which have updated Kodi 19 versions probably works as tvheadend proved but backing up the .config folder & restoring it is literally the thing I tell people not to do because that's exactly the way to generate a broken build ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Hi SupervisedThinking I followed the route of chewitt and restored only the addon-data and some sources.xml files and installed the needed addons afterwards from repos. Games are running but I need to spend more time on tweaking the (core) settings I guess. My J5005 has issues with some games like THPS2 on psx. Mario Tenn!s on Gamecube is not playing smooth in native resolution whereas Mario Kart runs just fine in 2x resolution. Guess I need to investigate a little more on what are the best cores in Retroarch.

    TVheadend runs just fine as well - so do YouTube, Netflix etc. VERY NICE.

    So far I couldn't figure out a stable sound setting for Retroarch / Emulationstation. Kodi sound works normal as intended. I am using an AVR, so I chose ALSA in RR settings. I found the right ALSA card as well, but the sound appears only sporadically and is not very smooth at e.g. Gamecube and psx.

    I will play around further with your beautiful build! Once more - I appreciate your efforts SOOO MUCH :) :thumbup: <3

    Hi SupervisedThinking restoring my backup did not work. Got tons of add-on errors incl. libretro and the system couldn't mount certain folders while booting. ...The games weren't playing. TVheadend however did work.

    Games are running fine on a fresh install - have tested some psx and n64 games. So it seems to rely on my config.

    Guess I should not restore all of my config.

    Have archived this post from chewitt back then - though I could make use of it someday:

    RE: Restore backup on different architecture

    Will keep on trying.

  • RetroELEC Kodi+Wayland+Emulationstation+RetroArch (x86/XU4/RPi)

    Hi All,

    I really hate to write this one...!!

    Not sure, if I should post here, or open a new thread.

    It is regarding pairing my 8Bitdos which after hours of google search still does not work.

    So I might be too stupid and need help :(

    While pairing the gamepads with RertroPie (RPi 3b+) works very well, I am struggling with RetroELEC on x86 Hardware.

    I have a ASrock J5005 with a Intel AC 3165:

    Intel® Dualband-Wireless-AC 3165 89450

    My gamepads are SF30 Pro and AP40 (relabelled N30 Pro)

    I could manage to get the SF30 Pro paired with Kodi once. However, while I was configuring the gamepad with EmulationStation, the connection was lost all of a sudden and re-connecting did not work anymore (Host-Down Error).

    Could anyone here pair 8Bitdo gamepads with RetroELEC successfully?

    Logs:

    http://ix.io/2m6L

    I have also attached a screenshot of bluetoothctl which I was trying as well.

    I have used the udev rules from RetroPi and put them to path:

    /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/99-bluetooth.rules

    Rules are:

    SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="8Bitdo SF30 Pro", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"

    SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="8Bitdo AP40 GamePad", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"

    Glad if anyone could help! Thank you

    EDIT:

    forgot to mention, that I tried every input. (B, X, A,Y) and that I have the latest Firmware and the SF30 Pro.
