Thank you Da Flex!
I already found this topic while searching the forum but did not read it because i thought it is about sending json to kodi and not the other way.
I will give it a try.

Best regards Marxon

Hi everybody,

i searched the list of built-in functions but unfortunately i dont find a action to send JSON commands.
Is there a way to do this?

Best regards Marxon

I'm using a Pi4.

I already tried using a separate script containing only the part which creates the retroarch.service file:

#!/bin/bash
DIR_INSTALL=${HOME}/retroarch
cat <<EOF > ${HOME}/.config/system.d/retroarch.service
[Unit]
Description=Retroarch
After=network-online.target graphical.target
Requires=graphical.target
Wants=network-online.target
[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.conf
ExecStartPre=systemctl stop kodi
ExecStart=${DIR_INSTALL}/retroarch
ExecStopPost=systemctl start kodi
TimeoutStopSec=10
Restart=no
StartLimitInterval=0
LimitNOFILE=16384
[Install]
WantedBy=kodi.target

But i get the same wrong result:
ExecStart=/storage/retroarch
/retroarch
Strange...

What is killing me is that it should have checked that you had 9G of free space, not sure why it failed..

I needed about 9.3Gb otherwise i got errors while copying the database files.

Update
I found the problem:
Somehow the retroarch.service file was not generated correctly.

Line 10 was split into
ExecStart=/storage/retroarch
/retroarch

But it should be one single line
ExecStart=/storage/retroarch/retroarch

Step 5 of the manual procedure guide contains a similar error.
It points just to the /storage/retroarch directory.

Hi basilean,

nice to see someone working on more emulation features for libreelec.
I tried your script, first it did not complete because lack of free space. Requirements should be extended.
The next run of the install script finished sucsessfull.
Unfortunately if i try to start retroarch via systemctl start retroarch it just quits kodi and starts again.
Did i miss something or what's going wrong?

Even if this information comes a little late:
since LibreElec 9 the internal grabber does not work anymore.
The solution: rudihorn's Hyperion DRM VC4 screen grabber https://github.com/rudihorn/drm-vc4-grabber.
I am using it with LibreElec 12 on my Pi4 without problems

Piracy logic - not our turf.

That's understandable, of course.

Thanks for your reply DaFlex

Because I thought i was not using banned addons, I hadn't take a look at the banned list
but now i found indeed one which is (for whatever reason?) listed!
After uninstalling the addon, the warning has gone. Great!
but why then the warning was about an insecure repository and not about this addon?

Hi everybody,

my log shows following warning:

warning <general>: Repository add-on repository.elementumorg uses plain HTTP for add-on downloads in path http://127.0.0.1:65223/ this is insecure and will make your Kodi installation vulnerable to attacks if enabled!

But somehow i can't find anything elementum.org related in my "addons" or "userdata" folder.
So where is this warning comming from and how to get rid of it?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards

Hi all,

is it somehow possible to integrate LE-RR's emulation frontends into a running LE 12 system?
Will it work if I backup my LE12 addons and settings stuff, make a clean LE-RR install and then restore them afterwards?

Hi,

i noticed via perf top that kernel memcpy causes 30% CPU usage.

Is this normal?

Thanks for clarification
