so there is no easy way to scrape roms then.

I have my whole rom collection scraped and backed up on my computer from retropie.

now if i transfer that over to libreelec they do not shows but if i edit the gamlist.xml and alter the file location it works.

Surely i do not need to edit every single entry within that xml to match.

Thanks

I'm not sure if game lists from retropie are compatable with libreelec...but if you edited file location and it's working you can just edit them all at once with Notepad++...

About if there is an easier way I m not sure...but fastscraper.bat is very easy....you just edit few lines in script for what kind of artwork you need...like 3d,covers,snapshots etc..it's also very fast to scrape..

ok ill have a look into it.

Also ive noticed that the scraper doesnt work using emulation station.

Can anyone help me with that

Thanks

Rob

I scraped all my games from Pc with sselph scraper and just mass edited xml with notepad so to use same thumbs with both advanced launcher and ES but that was about 2 years ago and I m not sure about details...the best script for me to scrape was Fastscraper..look for it on github and save script to .bat on your pc

Hi i have just installed gamestarter and there is no sound in emulation station and retroarch.

So heres the deal. I have a fresh install of libreelec 8.2.5 on my raspberry pi 3.

Setting it all up with me media etc then getting onto setting up gamestarter.

I installed emulationstation,retroarch then downloaded all lakka core package from the retroarch menu.

I then loaded retroarch configured my ps3 controllers to use wireless and back to kodi interface.

then launched emulation station and noticed no sound, i then launched a rom and also noticed no sound within game either.

So heres the strange part. i went exited retroarch and emulation station back to kodi, using my tv remote to navigate kodi i got gui sounds but using the ps3 controller to navigate gives me no gui sound, is the normal behaviour and also could anyone point me in the write direction so get the sound working.

Thanks

Rob

Post #741 should get you going..

Your question makes all the difference...How the system knows how to match the channels from my iptv to the ones on the guide.xml?

You probably have to do it manually...the "system" doesn't know that channel x on your EPG xml is channel y on your playlist so you have 2 options..

You can either edit your channel names in your playlist to match the channel names in your WebGrab++.config.xml.. iptv simple client will then match the names..

or you can add something like this in your playlist:

This way you can leave channel name as is in playlist and just edit the "x" to match the WebGrab++.config..

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="x" tvg-name="x",channel name

Otherwise you can take an easier approach and edit the WebGrab++.config.xml directly without touching your playlist...

Just edit the "xyz" to match the channel name in your playlist...

<channel update="i" site="whatever.com" site_id="99" xmltv_id="xyz">xyz</channel>

Hi all

I have LE on and s905x and have install retroarch, ES and AEL. All latest versions from repo.

I’ve added a rom to the correct folder but ES won’t open. Nor will the other Addons.

The bios folder is empty which I think may be come of the issue.

Can anyone tell me how I get bios files?

I’m so looking forward to trying this.

This is for Rpi and Generic...don't think it will work on amlogic but I'm sure there are builds of LE for Amlogic with Retroarch and ES

If you want to transfer files from your phone to Libreelec you can do it wirelessly by using ES File Explorer on your phone...if you just want to play your media from your phone without transfering it use Music pump or Yatse

Are you trying to play media from your phone to Kodi/Libreelec?..just use Yatse or Music Pump apks,,,

Thanks for all replies, I manage to get SS, but it very creepy , If I take SS only when no Service running and just Menu, its perfect, But, on some channel playing it capture just lines, no pic and only 30 kb in size

Strange...did you try Chorus?my screenshots are all about 700-1000 kb in size

As bubblegum57 this option is already available in video,files,context menu,change content,exclude path from library updates...

In kodi skin gui you should now see a tv section

Install iptv simple client...then go to it's settings and for Location change to local path and browse for your playlist..click ok and enable addon and restart kodi

Ok maybe they are geo blocked..can't tell...if it's playing in vlc...load it in pvr iptv simple client and it should work..

Are you sure it's playing on other player?I tried a couple of your streams and none is working

To take a screenshot from your PC of your LE you can use Chorus..make a shortcut with "http://IP_address:8080/#lab/screenshot" and everytime you click that shortcut you ll get a screenshot..

or go to "http://IP_address:8080/#lab" to do it manually

That's interesting, and you're sure that #0226 is stable? There's not much change in the #0305 firmware, but popcornmix will know for sure.

Can you confirm the device you have - is it RPi2 or RPi3B? I'm assuming it's not a RPi3B+ based on the versions you have been testing. Edit: You've already said it is RPi2

Just to be sure there's nothing non-firmware involved, can you also test the individual builds between #0226 and #0305 (ie. #0227, #0228, #0301, #0302, #0303 and #0304) and confirm that they are all stable - if any of them start rebooting then it's not exclusively a firmware issue.

I appreciate this is a lot of tedious, slow work but hopefully it will prove fruitful in the end!

Mario77 if you still have your RPi2 are you able to confirm that #0305 reboots, and #0226 is stable?

My issue wasn't really just restarting......restarts are rare....I was having this issue like the one in this thread

The stream plays for few minutes, then the audio starts glitching and after few moments screen comes black. UI is responsive sometimes so I can exit out.

Which I temporarily fixed by changing firmware files from 8.2.5 with the ones from 8.2.3..

Maybe @deancan can elaborate a bit more on his issue and if is facing restarts too?

Hello, I created the file name.strm I pasted the address to it (http: // 192.168.0.7) I copied it to libreelec and when trying to launch it pops up that it can not be played.

I use a Sony Z2 smartphone and a WEBCAM IP application as a camera, do you know why I can not play live stream? The stream normally works on the computer.

That's probably not enough of a url for a camera stream...you might need to add server port and stream id and format....

should look something like this

http://192.168.0.10:1234/video.mjpg

or

http://admin:[email protected]/videofeed

edit...maybe you don't need port for the android app...sorry I don't mess much with android...

If the stream is working on the computer you can try this...in chrome open the camera feed....rightclick on the video and click on "copy image address"..then paste that in your playlist...

I had some weird issues like this some time ago...Rpi 2 was working fine with 8.2.3 and started acting strangely from 8.2.4 onwards..Don't ask me what the reason is cause I even posted a debug log but there seem to be nothing of any help..

Try this maybe it helps to solve your issue:

Make sure you have LE 8.2.3 installed,

Take your sd card out of your rpi and copy these 3 firmware files from your sd card to your PC

/flash/bootcode.bin
/flash/fixup.dat
/flash/start.elf

Now insert your sd card back to your Rpi and update your LE to 8.2.5

Take sd card back out and go back to your PC and replace those 3 files from the 8.2.5 with the ones you saved from the LE 8.2.3...

If it works properly this way for you it may be easier to hopefully debug the issue..

Does anyone know how to get started with the Gamestarter repository and DraStic NDS games?

After installing DraStic I got the message that you also need to install the Advanced Emulator Launcher or EmulationStation.

When I opened EmulationStation after installing it, the message "We can not find any systems" appeared.

What could this be and what do I have to do to correct this error? (I've already installed RetroArch and it works fine with GBA games)

Did you select the roms path from ES settings?or edit es_systems.cfg manually..looks like ES is not finding the roms folder..folders need to be named properly for each launcher..

Also by default ES only reads these formats for NDS .nds .zip .NDS .ZIP so if your roms are in any other format ES won't launch

<system>
  <name>nds</name>
  <fullname>Nintendo DS</fullname>
  <path>/var/media/HDD/Emulators/roms/nds</path>
  <extension>.nds .zip .NDS .ZIP</extension>
  <command>/storage/.kodi/addons/game.retroarch/addon.start drastic %ROM% ES</command>
  <platform>nds</platform>
</system>

This is an example how mine looks
