Any plans to fix the CEC bug?

Quote from bite_your_idols

This addon works for both generic and pi, so pausing kodi instead of killing it will affect to Pis performance, that's the reason why this addon kills it. Some processes, like hyperion or vnc, are still running in background but maybe, as you say, other don't.

Processes started trough system.d are still running for me while on retroarch...actually it's one of the advantages of using Gamestarter to other dual boot options for retrogaming..did you try to edit openvpn.service?

Can you access the network share if you add as source trough Kodi?

You might need to change the settings in Libreelec addon-services-minimum/maximum supported protocol

This is an example of a mount I m using which mounts 2 libreelec machines

[Unit]

Description=cifs mount script

Requires=network-online.service

After=network-online.service

Before=kodi.service

[Mount]

What=//192.168.0.4/usb_64

Where=/storage/64gbmount

Options=username=libreelec,password=libreelec,vers=2.1

Type=cifs

This has happen two times migrating from open to libre it woks a few days on libre than stops, went back to open becouse of This issue, now with version 8.1.2 kodi 17.4 ha having the same issue, cec stops working should I go back to open?? What can I do?

What hardware or device?

Known CEC issue...you are one of the unlucky ones like me that cec doesn't work properly...but there is a kind soul vpeter who is compiling builds for rpi with fixed cec...see here

did you try by leaving empty that parameter? I never use pi's minijack so I rally don't know... by the way, you should be able to change between audio devices using retroarch settings menu.

Hi thanks...tried that...even changing setting to default alsa didnt work even on hdmi...it only works with hw:0,0..

One more question..Is there a way that I can output sound both on HDMI and headphone jack on RPi..At this moment I m using the audio_device = "hw:0,0" for hdmi and audio_device = "hw:0,1" to output from jack...but have to edit this each time to change audio....is there a way to output both at the same time like what Kodi does?

Is anyone using 8bitdo zero with rpi2 LE 8.1.2 and Gamestarter/RO/ES/AEL?does it work normally?

Quote from lollo78

For me there was an issue in retroarch.cfg.

Deleting the Enter between the quotation marks solved the issue.

audio_device = "

"

So I changed it in

audio_device = ""

Doing so I was able to select the correct audio device inside the Audio menu of the Retroarch GUI, using the arrow key (left and right).

I have an issue with thumbnails. All the images looks with wrong colors (tending to cyan). Any help to fix this?

Don't think it's the same issue tough...for me on rpi2 audio_device wasnt even there had to add it myself..

What are you using to scrape your artwork?Did you try the image on a pc?is it the same?

Thanks! Have been rereading parts of the thread and indeed I need to add hw:0,0 to make it work

Does the square have any meaning? Have changed so much by now also in config.txt that I am trying to grasp what happened in case I need to set up again. config.txt is pi wide so hope I don't mess up Kodi.

Anyway working, will test tomorrow what the impact now is of undoing the config.txt changes.

You don't have to touch anything in config.txt ...all I added is hw:0,0 and it worked..and not sure what that symbol means sorry

I am struggling to get sound working over HDMI. Using a Raspberry Pi 2 and up to date Libreleec (8.1.2). HDMI cable to receiver and from that on to TV.

I installed the repository and retroarch and Emulation Station. For now focusing on retroarch. I can start it, use controller and launch games but no audio.

I have read parts of this thread and used google and these are the things I have tried:

-Raspberry config.txt, added some lines (drive=2 and edid_audio=1 and group=1 and mode=16), now looks like this

[all]

include distroconfig.txt

dtparam=audio=on

initial_turbo=0

hdmi_drive=2

hdmi_force_edid_audio=1

hdmi_group=1

hdmi_mode=16

hdmi_pixel_encoding=0

hdmi_ignore_hotplug=0

hdmi_edid_file=0

- Also tried aplay -l, this is my response. Similar to another user in this thread. Am I correct in assuming this meand hardware 0,0? I also often read 1,3 and honestly have no clue what it is and am simply following instructions

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 0: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA]

Subdevices: 8/8

Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Subdevice #1: subdevice #1

Subdevice #2: subdevice #2

Subdevice #3: subdevice #3

Subdevice #4: subdevice #4

Subdevice #5: subdevice #5

Subdevice #6: subdevice #6

Subdevice #7: subdevice #7

card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 1: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI]

Subdevices: 1/1

Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

This is also where I struggle most. I edited retroarch.cfg in /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.retroarch where I know have:

audio_device = "0,0" – no other edits in this file.

I also looked in retroarch settings where audio is set to alsa (tried a few others). After launch audio device was listed as a square symbol □. I also changed that to 0,3 and 0.3 (assume comma) and other combinations like 0.0 and 0.2

Audio is not muted in settings and I set gain to +1. And this is where I am stuck now.

Any clues on where/how I should continue?

Make sure retroarch is off and in retroarch.cfg find "audio_device = " and edit it to audio_device = "hw:0,0"

Launch retroarch and it should work...

You can also do it from retroarch settings and instead of that square symbol type hw:0,0

I got the same setup as you and this worked for me to get audio working from hdmi...havent tried yet trough the headphone jack of the pi yet...

I recommend you to take a look to AEL official support thread:

Advanced Emulator Launcher - Multi-emulator frontend for Kodi

Wintermute0110 explains that subject better than me

Thanks...had a look there but not much success...need to take a week off lol...sticking with ES for now...I m happy with it but I like the idea of being able to launch the games straight from kodi...

Hi..need some help...I m trying AEL and managed to launch few games but not sure how to scrape artwork from gamesdb...can do it 1 game at a time from menu but is there a way to scrape all games in a launcher?thanks

hi there - I managed to add my shared network directories via SMB, however I cannot see the files in the network locations either through File Manager or through the Library directory. Am I missing something? The device I'm using is a Raspberry Pi 2 with latest LibreElec version and Kodi 17.4

You need to force smb1...its a setting in kodi system settings-services..smb1

Quote from Tyler

Didn't really want to create an account specifically for this... but i think i found a workaround.

While looking into something else i found out that when i created a homegroup it actually has a username as an account called HomeGroupUser

which i can use for this, for the password i can use the one set for the homegroup in windows.

it also only works if the folder is shared with "Everyone" as well, if not gives the error:

ERROR: SMBDirectory->GetDirectory: Unable to open directory : 'smb://USERNAME:[email protected]/test'

unix_err:'d' error : 'Permission denied'

i'm not sure why though.

and i still need to add the paths manually as kodi just doesn't see anything when browsing through the menu.

You need to force SMB1 in kodi settings to add network paths

Quote from Tyler

i'm using windows 7

should be similar...try to make another account on your pc and make it password protected and access that from libreelec

Quote from Tyler

updated from what? I started with the latest version of libreelect, i didn't upgrade to it.

Also i just tried setting the max smb version allowed in services/settings/smb client to smb 1 and it saw the shares.

but then it asks for a username/password (which i don't have)

so why does it allow me to only see them when setting the max to smb1?

If you r running windows 10 you might need to enable smb1 cifs shares from control panel...turn windows features on or off...otherwise create a new user on your pc and make it password protected

Seems odd. What controller do you use? I have the 8bitdo SNES controller

I m also using snes controller...mine is usb but same setup..same buttons...I just started lately experimenting with retro games so I m not into it that much....I can play few games properly with a snes controller including neogeo,mame,nes,sega,snes..
