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
Display MoreDidn'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
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
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..
snes
Did you get this to work? Have the same problem, can't get the controls to work even though it works give for SNES or NES
No..we might need other controller I guess..
please, explain it to me.
Was trying to make my own gamelist.xml and images with sselph for ES but they weren't saving...might be that ES service was running even with addon closed(not sure)So I renamed the addon data folder for ES..then restarted and edited then restarted again and they all loaded
So I m not able to set my own images in ES in a raspberry pi 2...I got the scraped images and lists but I might be missing something...do I need to stop ES service before copying or editing?What are the ssh commands to stop and start service ES?Thanks
Edit :nevermind...found out a way...just renaming addondata folder worked like a charm
not sure if this is the right place to ask this question...I m trying to play some N64 roms with a usb Snes controller which works fine with most roms but with the n64 the up and down and right left directions are not working in most games...anything I can do?
Why is my ES not showing .fds roms?I tryed to rename folder to fds and famicom but still nothing
it is strange, for me ES launches zipped games just as retroarch does...
Was trying some Nes and snes roms and they werent working from zip...
The sound issue is solved too...I just went to settings-audio-driver and changed it from alsa to sdl and restarted rpi..then ran RA and set it back to alsa and was recognized straight away
Ok so next problem is no audio when on games...kodi audio is fine...

Display Morewe are missing something...
let's see, we are going to try it again following these steps, but before clean your ES and RA userdata folders (you can just rename them)
First, you download latest addons from repo. After addon installation you go to RA addon settings and download full core package. Then you launch retroarch and launch a rom (Adventure Island (USA).zip) wit a core (fceumm). That works, right?
Then you exit retroarch, and delete all logs. Ok, now you launch ES addon and it works, it shows the gamelist of your systems. Select the same rom (Adventure Island (USA).zip) and you get a black screen and ES comes back, right? Post me those logs.
did you try with another rom? maybe unziped. Did you try another console emulator?
Im your logs I can see this error:
Code[INFO] [Video]: Does not have enough samples for monitor refresh rate estimation. Requires to run for at least 4096 frames.But I have no idea what can it means... do you use any overclock settings? maybe google can help us...
Silly me....wanna eat my Rpi...and the problem was.......zips...ES is not openening the zip roms...sorry for loosing your time and thanks for your help

Thanks I tryed all of those..besides unzipped roms...gonna try that...and no overclock while trying ES...was a fresh install...and is happenening exactly as you described...the only time that a rom worked on ES was on a fresh install which RO was never opened only used for downloading cores....once I open RP...es fails...
Ok got RO working but now ES is not working..same as before black screen
Just to update...if i install both ES and RA on a clean install...download all cores from RA settings without opening the addon then ES works...but when I open RA it's not working properly...the logos are black boxes and it s not responding
