Oh yeah, correction, you copied my packages and added a PKG_TOOLCHAIN=make/configure/autotools here and there. Pretty much everything you mention you've also gotten from me, down to the launcher scripts, configure options and methods I have used to deal with different things. Much like I copied a lot of things from Lakka when I started, which I certainly give them credit for.

You're seriously trying to take credit for the Docker addon that lrusak created as well? This is getting ridiculous. You bumped the version variable on somebody else's work, congratulations. All I'm seeing is 0 respect for the work others have put in, you've even PR'ed stuff you got from me without so much as a mention. Good job!

You are welcome by the way.

Why wasn't pcsx2 playable? I thought the H2 might be powerful enough?

Absolutely, LE as an OS is (in my opinion) the most effective way to run any application as it's a "Just Enough OS". It's design with a read-only squashfs and separate storage partition is very efficient. The build toolchain is also a joy to use and makes it easy to add anything I want. Can you find me a distribution that boots faster into Emulationstation than this? I don't think so I'm sure you are familiar with Lakka, which was my main inspiration back in the OpenELEC days. Unfortunately, it's development speed is quite slow (I was on LibreELEC before them) as it's a huge project supporting many different setups. You can look at this as a kind of a bleeding edge Lakka flavor with an Emulationstation frontend. Most of their documentation is relevant for this build. I also include the services and tools that I think is a must-have without having to download any addons. Docker is a good example, using that I was the first to bring PS2 emulation to LibreELEC.

LE as an OS has so much more potential than just Kodi (although that's what they focus on). It's quite unique in the Linux distro world.

EDIT: I can add that as I'm basically leeching off the excellent work the LE team is doing, I will directly benefit of improvements in the base OS and I can do it faster as I'm not bound to things such as release processes and quality assurance. Same goes for Lakka, although they are way behind at this point.

Not much I suppose, as he copied most of my packages. He also includes several other frontends and afaik some configurability of settings through Kodi. I'm focused on simplicity and optimization, also I will mostly be releasing builds without Kodi.

I'm jealous, wanted an H2 as well but was out of stock. Will probably get one when they are available again. Interested to hear what you think of it so far.

I think there's a better chance of Trump moving to North Korea than anyone creating LibreELEC builds with old Kodi versions for the XU4. Good luck.

Probably not doable by you.

Leia is the latest Kodi 18.

The current emulators and cores can be seen in the first post. For now I have Kodi builds available in a subfolder if you have a look.

Ok, so I'm back (more or less). I have been working on adding support to LibreELEC for my new XU4. In the process I have rebased on master, trimmed, cleaned and optimized further. I don't have a need for Kodi anymore, so I will mostly maintain builds without it and I have rebranded to reflect this. It can easily be built though.

New builds have been uploaded for Generic (Intel only), RPi2 and XU3/4.

Let me know when you have read my post and dl the correct image ok.

Like I said, there's two separate images, you have the wrong one. Download from the Kodi folder....It's RetroELEC-OdroidXU3.arm-9.1-devel-20190507192006-e6e89ff.img.gz you want.

Sounds like you downloaded the wrong image, use the one in the Kodi folder it will start up directly in Kodi.

As long as there isn't any roms present Emulationstation won't start up, so I put an example empty rom file in the Amiga directory which is why you see only that system and can't go left/right. If you were using my Kodi image you could press right ctrl to bring up the menu and select quit to Kodi.

LE as DLNA/UPNP Renderer Player only (no media server)

Can’t imagine why nobody wants to help you...

Found the problem, new working image uploaded

Maybe you should learn how to read? The answer has been posted.

Quote from Iridium

Not possible nor needed.

LE is a compressed image which is uncompressed at start and loaded into memory.

Actually, it could be run in a container so it's possible. Addons are run as root and installed into /storage, so it might not be such a bad idea. I don't think addons are even signed, but third party is not allowed by default which is good. Personally I prefer not running such resource hogs and instead apply common sense regarding what's installed and how the box is used. LE's simplicity is it's best feature and also it's weakest point security wise.

As for actually setting up such a Docker container and making it useful on LibreELEC, I'd say it depends on your willingness to spend some hours reading Docker documentation and trial/error until you get it right. There's no plug and play solution for this.

Sorry, can’t help you i’m useless. Got Transmission working here though 🤗
