You can't really watch video over vnc even on high..

Not sure why but with windows it does same thing...it only works with low or high quality..not with medium or auto..and android app it s a bit of a pain to use..

Best is from a windows pc but found out that the mouse was crashing libreelec so best to control menus fron keyboard arrows and disable mouse in LE input settings.

Something else I noticed is that after few days VNC stops working and can't connect..needs to ssh and reboot for it to start again.

No one, please? I know it's not the end of the world problem, but it's very very easy to test.

Did you try to change ipad app vnc viewer ..settings of the libreelec connection and set to qualitt low or high from auto default?

Quote from Pablinho

Gonna check that right now. What emulator you use in kodi? Maybe that is my problem. Since I am totally new with libreelec I don't know anything about playing directly in it.

Best bet is use same choice of cores/launchers you use in retroarch also in retroplayer..they are the same libretro cores just modified to work in kodi..I tried a few of the main cores I m using in RA and moved them to retroplayer and they still work fine...you just have to rename them game.libretro.xxxx.so

Quote from FeFiFoFum

I did this, didn't work.

See the attached screenshot - I've tried messing with almost all these settings.

In addon It s all left as default..I mean the vnc on your pc you have to change to low or high grom settings..

Quote from FeFiFoFum

Using the official VNC app (which I use on PC without issue)

It drops out / screws up and I can’t see settings to fix it.

It basically connects over and over and over.

I’ve fiddled with every setting EXCEPT ‘screen 0’ - cause I have no idea what it does.

Anyone else got this working?

It works fine but you need to set Vnc viewer settings to low or high...auto or medium doesn't work..

Hi!

I hope you can help me. I am desperate. I use an openelec build in rpi 3 because I have it for some years now. I am having the same problems with emulation station and retroarch. When it boots it takes me back to kodi. I am not sure how to solve it or were to look for the logs. Could you help me?

Thank you so much!

Best you update to LibreElec before you try anything.

Hi All

I am running a TV-Headend Server on a Synology Box to feed several devices in my home.

Lately I did an upgrade to Raspi 4 on a TV. Installation is Ok, the Raspi is cabable of running up to 4k Video; BUT:

SD-Video from TV-Headend has major problems, The picture is stuttering and lagging behind the Audio Stream.

As TV-Headend was working perfectly on all other Devices (Android, Windows, Odroid/Librelec 8 ) It surely did look like a Codec Problem on the Raspi for me...

So I checked thr Raspi Homepage for the MPEG-1 Codec; not available anymore for Raspi 4.

I think the Raspi 4 does have enough Power to decode MPEG-1 in Software, So maybe somebody knows a Workaround or can implement a permanent solution.

OR, if a am totally wrong, maybe somebody can tell what the real problem is and how to fix it

Did you try to change Deinterlacing settings?I have to do that on all my HD streams..tough not on SD..just try.

Quote from Peter B

Thx for the newest update! Any idea when we can expect updated cores? Heard the newest retropie was tailored more towards the RPi.

I think cores are up to date enough as libretro core packages are from Lakka 2.3.2 ..which is latest..they where updated 4 months ago.

Saying that you can always replace and download them yourself as some cores are modified and updated daily.

bite_your_idols can enlighten us more on this.

Thank you very much Mario77 for your help!

I tried to connect with the raspberry with SSH but cannot see the folder you mentioned, is this not possible with CyberDuck? (i use a MAC)
I copied the BIOSes for RetroArch to storage/emulators/bios and thought is is correct but i think it wasn't...

Using IAGL is just very user friendly and i don't know where to get the ROMS from.

PS: Sorry for my noob questions

This one:

/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.retroarch

Hello, everyone,

first of all I wanted to say thank you for the great development work, this is not self-evident!

I have struggled through various manuals and yesterday I was able to play my first N64 game! However, I'm still not quite convinced about the performance and according to some reports it should work better.

Did everything according to these instructions: 1. Setup · zach-morris/plugin.program.iagl Wiki · GitHub

The first N64 emulator in the list did not work, but the second one did. I tested the others afterwards but the one is the only one that runs.

My system:

- Raspberry 4 + 4 GB RAM

- latest LibreElec version

- IAGL

- RetroArch by Gamestarter

How can I improve the N64 game performance?

When I manually start RetroArch from Kodi and select a setting I immediately come back to Kodi, so it seems like RetroArch crashes. Is there a solution for this?

Thanks and have a great day!

I would start by setting up retroarch,most important thing first before any other addons...So if it's crashing there is something obviously not right with RA..To avoid complications as this is a new install and you won't be loosing any setups just delete userdata/addon data/game.retroarch folder to reset everything...then go to retroarch and update addon...from retroarch addon settings download libretro cores packages..Thas's it for now..open retroarch and update assets from online updater...do not update cores as some of them don't work properly when updated with retroarch online updater..Make sure you have any bios's needed in hand too..after that you can start setting up your controllers and try your roms..once done always keep backups of userdata/addon data/game.retroarch..that will save you hours of setting up..regarding iagl I used it many months ago but prefer local roms..it was all setup but I honestly have no idea where to start again if I had to set it up today..

Use the black screensaver.

Hello,

Having had no luck trying to install Retroelec or Libreelec-RR I found your repo which would allow me to install Emulationstation on stock Libreelec.

Unfortunately, having installed the repo successfully none of the add-ons in the repo will install. I have queried the log and get the following:

Code

2020-04-29 12:51:50.163 T:140080559683328   ERROR: Copy - Failed write to file special://home/addons/packages/game.retroarch-8.177.14.zip

I wondered if it was potentially a connection issue so I went the command line and tried a wget on the file from the repo and it worked fine:

Does anyone know how I might debug this?

I also tried to install some other random plugins from other repos both official and otherwise and all was well.

what hardware?

this only works with raspberry pi or Generic..

Quote from eth0slash0

snes9x and even worse performance on snes9x 2010

Edit: Huge performance increase using Snes9x 2002. Still not exactly perfect but much better.

If you want it perfect try retroarch from Gamestarter Repo or similar...but snes should work fine with retroplayer with snes9x 2010

Quote from eth0slash0

Everything works but games are choppy and have low fps. Where do I even begin with resolving this?

RPi3b, Lan, LibreELEC 9.2

Which emulator are you talking about?

Quote from supersix

Of course I didn't. Don't you see "beginner" tag of mine

I'll try that and report back..

edit: well, that did it. Thanks for the heads up Mario77 . I didn't even know that there is such a video setting

Glad you'r sorted...I normally avoid BOB Advanced or Auto with HD channels only...Don't need to make it Default for everything..just change the deinterlacing per HD channel and leave the rest as is..

Edit:If you want to be heard more on the forum ..next time open a new thread with a description of your issue as title..

Quote from supersix

Some streams play like they're on fast forward (and without sound) with mmal while Omx plays them just fine.

Yes, I use RPi 3B+

Did you try to change deinterlace?

Quote from supersix

Omx Player causes this. With mmal everything works fine, but some of my hd streams only work smoothly with omxplayer. I'm in between two fires

Smoothly in what way? mmal should be fine..I assume you r using a rpi
