you have 2 options that come to mind..

1)

create a common folder on your nas for your playlists..then point Rpi1 and Rpi2 to that folder on your Nas for playlists..

or) put playlists on Rpi1 and point Rpi2 or more to the playlist folder of Rpi1..

you ll have to use advancedsettings.xml for this

<advancedsettings>
    <system>
        <playlistspath>smb://rpi1_ip_address/storage/.kodi/userdata/playlists</playlistspath>
    </system>
</advancedsettings>

option 2...mount playlist folder from your nas to rpi1 & 2

You need to add this to advanced settings.xml for mame zip to open

<advancedsettings>
    <videoextensions>
      <remove>.bin|.img|.iso|.zip</remove>
    </videoextensions>
    <musicextensions>
      <remove>.cue|.zip</remove>
    </musicextensions>
    <pictureextensions>
      <remove>.zip</remove>
    </pictureextensions>
</advancedsettings>

To have a UI for roms you need some kind of addon like Advanced Emulator Launcher.

Any pointers from anyone?

I m sure few posts back on this thread bite_your_idols was trying to get ES to work with RPi 4 with no success...on the other hand AEL and RA works fine and you can set them up with all the bells and whistles i.e artwork etc..

edit it's post #1069

Did anyone managed to get comskip to work from a script on LE?It works fine from a postprocessor commands but I got a script as post command and I m trying to integrate comskip with it...no success yet..keep getting

Read-only file system - could not create file %f.txt

I ditched all my slingbox/slingcatcher setup and replaced with 2 RPI's...much better setup for placeshifting/recordings plus retrogaming and all the rest LE can offer..

Oh, that was much simpler than I thought, thank you!

Another question: is there a way to permanently hide the mouse pointer once you get to Retro

Do you mean kodi's mouse pointer is also visible in retroarch?

Hiya I'm not new to the pi but I'm brand new to LE and using a TV hat. I have it all configured and running no problem on my house rooftop antenna. I intend to use the pi on trips with battery and portable antenna,

I just followed the pihut tutorial seemed straight forward, however I will have no network while on trips and would like to be able to use the tuner, and I have discovered if I unplug the ethernet, it just won't work message displayed "TV headend htsp client server unreachable" ? I see a few posts about this and configuring IP to 127.0.0.1 hasn't worked for me, can anyone help plWh

What are you watching it on?Is the monitor connected to the same RPi?

If you want to view your TV while out on a tablet or phone just leave your rpi at home and use it as server..then you stream from it..

How do I properly configure AEL to launch games using Retroarch? I looked around and couldn't find a definite answer.

First step you should download AEL assets from retroarch addon settings and then import in AEL to create Gamestarter..

I've got same problem on generic.. Need to have TV connected to get running. Where do I need to add hdmi force hotplug thing?

I don't think that will work on generic..probably is just for raspberry pi...for generic see here

I'm running Kodi on RPi 4 and I have enabled VNC. My purpose is to use remote desktop from Win 10 to start music playing on Pi, but I cannot connect unless there is a monitor connected via HDMI. To me this seems to defeat the purpose of the remote login. If I connect a monitor everything works again, but I can't run like that permanently.

I have ordered an HDMI dummy plug with which I hope to fool LibreELEC that there is a monitor connected, but this is a very clunky workaround. Is there no way to force Kodi and VNC server to start IRRESPECTIVE of whether there is a monitor connected or not?

If there is no way to do this at present, I would suggest it as a future upgrade.

Kodi and VNC are 2 different services...VNC works even with kodi disabled..

No need of a dummy..you can add

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

in config.txt

Did you try Lakka on a spare sd card?see if N64 work and pull core from latest lakka version..should work with RetroArch on Gamestarter

Quote from megaprime421

you can also use keymaper add on on kodi to do this, its easy to setup and it works with most of remotes , for me it's working very good

Dont't think that will work for 2 commands on 1 keypress..great addon tough..makes life easier

@Mario66:

Okay, after having downloaded the cores from the addon settings again, I also tried it under LibreElec 9.2.0 (KODI v18.5) and LibreElec 9.2.1 (KODI v18.6), unfortunately with the same failing result

And yes, the library /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 is there actually.

Do you have any idea what I can try next?

I would try these 2 emulators:

parallel_n64_libretro.so

mupen64plus_libretro.so

I'm using the cores downloaded from the "RetroArch" addon setting via "Download Libretto cores full package". Maybe that's the cause for the problem?

Okay, following the other option and to first get a "clean" start, I've tried the following:

- I logged into "LibreElec" via SSH

- I deleted all files under "\storage\.kodi\userdata\addon_data\game.retroarch\cores\"

When then running "RetroArch" and selecting "Load Core/Download a core" in the menu, a list of cores is displayed. but there are no entries for "Nintendo N64" - I've searched through the whole list, but apparently these cores are missing. (Other cores, for example, "Nintendo - SNES / SFC (Snes9x - Current)" are there, can be installed and are working fine with games made for this console).

What can i do now?

You should download the cores from addon settings not from retroarch menu..

Did you try another version of LE?

Did you check that the library is there /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6?

Error "GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found

Hi guys,

I've installed the gamestarter addon on my RaspberryPie 4 under "LibreElec v9.2.3 (KODI v18.7)".

When trying to load a Nintendo N64 game with "RetroArch v9.186.20" " using "Mupen64Plus Next" as core, I'm getting the error message "Failed to load Libretro Core"

The log file has an entry saying "Error(s): /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.retroarch/cores/mupen64plus_next_libretro.so)"

I've attached the packed files "retroarch.cfg" and "retroarch.log".

Being a NOOB regarding this issue, I'm totally clueless how to solve this problem and would appreciate if someone could help. Thank you in advance!

Are you using the cores downloaded from retoarch UI menu or the cores downloaded from retroarch addon settings?

Hi,

I have been running TVH 4.2 for years, but I just reinstalled my computer from scratch and told myself that it would be nice to try TVH 4.3, since there is a feature I would like (better image cache management to avoid thousands of temporary files and slow startup).

So I took the latest LibreElec (9.2.3) and the latest TVH nightly (4.3-1885-08.06.2020) and installed it.

It worked a few hours, but now it does not anymore, due to a crash (log attached).

I have read on the forum that I might be due to a mismatch between the config file version and the TVH version.

It happened just after I set up my EPG by using the Kodi addon and pointing it to my XMLTV file location.

Many thanks

If you want to use TVH 4.3 try LE9.0..never had issues on UK freeview antenna reception...

sorry guys i'm really too stupid. I installed the add on SFTP support from spiff version 1.0.6.1. If I want to add network share now, there is no protocol for SFTP. Please don't let me die stupid.

Remove the colon in the timestamp as it is not allowed in filenames in Windows.
