I don't know about oscam, check the addon thread on kodi forums if there is one. Guess it's not compatible with Kodi 17 yet.

The kernel package is in packages/linux, you would need to modify package.mk and the patches for the kernel you want. You could do it manually or you could pull an older version of the files from github.

It works here, no crash. Not a good comparison though, as I'm running a recent git version where it might have been fixed.

Now I see what these Lakka variables are for. They are being put in the default retroarch.cfg as playlist_names and playlist_cores, so you won't be asked what core to use for each game.

Ok, will test and let you know. EDIT: No crash here, it works.

New build 20160802 is out:

- Kodi 17 Alpha 3
- Linux 4.7.0 kernel
- Docker 1.12.0
- Latest git version of the most popular cores (only relevant for RPi as the Generic build uses the latest from buildbot)

EDIT: 20160803:

- Updated Mesa to latest git
- Added default core playlist for RetroArch
- Updated RetroArch and added a couple of missing default paths

Not at home atm, but can test tonight. I don't use RetroArch as a frontend so not familiar with the playlists feature. Mind detailing how to reproduce?

Cool, thanks for the info

For anyone interested, I've added ds4drv in the latest builds. Start with "systemctl start ds4drv", configuration is in /storage/.config/ds4drv.conf. It has a lot of neat functions like profile switching, keyboard mapping and trackpad mouse emulation. Only downside is it seems to add some input lag.

You don't need to install, the libretro scummvm core is already present in my build. Simply start RetroArch and load up the scummvm core.

There is no compiler tools in LibreELEC, it's not a full distribution. "Just enough OS for Kodi" It's possible to compile yourself and use the toolchain to build whatever you like though.

PleXBMC hasn't had an update in over 1 year, so I wouldn't expect it to work very well. It won't work at all with Krypton as far as I know.

There's this Kodi addon: PlexKodiConnect: let Kodi talk to your Plex — Plex Forums

There's also a LibreELEC fork with Plex Media Player in the works, not sure about how far it's come: GitHub - plexinc/LibreELEC.tv: 'Just enough OS' for Kodi

Except he specified he wanted specific instructions on 'how', which is already there. Unless the wiki was edited after this post, I can't see how it could be any better.

Quote from Klojum

LibreELEC is designed as a HTPC client application. Anything 'server' should be taken care of by other devices.

If you have something like a NUC it would be a complete waste only to use it for Kodi.

Another way to run Plex (or anything else) is through Docker.

Joystick is enabled by default in Jarvis, but it depends on X11. Which means no RPi support. As for converting my tree to 7.0 you could use git rebase but would probably require some minor adjustments here and there.

You mean 32-bit? I guess so, although I haven't tried. Give it a go

It's certainly possible, but I'm not aware of any easy to use addons for LE at the moment. I used to maintain an OE addon, and I think you'll find updated versions from others in the thread. The addon is quite simple. To update it you need only to extract the zip and replace the "lib" directory with the Plex files which you get from extracting the official RPM.

If you're feeling more adventurous, I've created some packages that will let you build Plex into a LibreELEC image.

I must admit I never really test the image, normally I just upgrade. Can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work either, as far as the OS goes it's mostly vanilla LE8. Have you tried Milhouse builds for example, do they work when flashed to your card?

I've uploaded a new build that fixes the Emulationstation issue. My build already has dtparam=audio=on in config.txt, so I assume you upgraded from a different build than mine. If you had done a reinstall then you would have it there by default.

New builds uploaded.

For Generic image there's an interesting update: Vulkan Intel support! To use it, simply switch to the Vulkan video driver in RetroArch settings (restart of RetroArch required).

I've made some adjustments so that by default RetroArch will now run in OpenGL/X11 mode by default, this should work with most configurations. If your GPU supports KMS, you can enable it for Retroarch like this:

# touch /storage/.config/retroarch/kms

This simply creates the file "kms", which the launcher script will check for and make adjustments accordingly. Remember to remove it if you like to use Vulkan or OpenGL again.

Other notable updates:
- X.org 1.18.4
- Freetype 2.6.4 (has subpixel hinting by default)
- RetroArch and dependencies updated to latest git
