Kodi has the ability to power-off controllers. Currently, this only works for XInput controllers on windows. What system are you on? Do any other programs on our system have this capability?

Cool - I am running on a RPi3 with libreeelec

If you can point to another open source project that can turn off PS3 controllers, I'll add this feature to Kodi
RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Leia) - linkinsoldier - 2017-07-09
Unfortunately I don't know any project which has this implemented. However on libreelec I can go to the libreeelec settings -> Bluetooth and see my different controllers. Those controller are shown as connected (yes) or not connected (no) and there I can disconnect single controllers (option is called disconnect - I have no idea what enable standby is supposed to do, but disconnect works!)
Couldn't this be used by you?

Currently, Bluetooth devices are handled by the OS. LibreELEC settings aren't part of Kodi, they're added by the LE team to control operating system-level settings.
In order to power-off the PS3 controller, we'd have to rely on an undocumented API (that's how we grab the Guide button on windows machines). Not having access to this API, and not wanting to reverse engineer it myself, there's not much I can do. Keep an eye out for projects that can power off controllers, though, because if you find some open source code we can add it to Kodi or LE.

Finally got around to uploading those builds from 3 days ago. Games will now autosave on exit and autoload on close. The savestate and metadata is stored alongside the ROM like this:
Code:
Chrono Trigger (U) [!].smc (the ROM)
Chrono Trigger (U) [!].sav (the state)
Chrono Trigger (U) [!].xml (the metadata)Autosave and autoload have some pretty heavy limitations now. The savestate will only be stored if the folder is writable (no zipped ROMs or readonly network shares).
Also, savestates are not compatible across emulators, so you can't switch emulators without losing your savestate:
This is less than ideal, but I'll address these limitations in the saved game manager. I still haven't decided on the design requirements for the GUI, so let me know if there's anything that shouldn't be left out.

I assume you meant "autoload on OPEN"

This is why I ask before if you can set a save state (and save game [in-game]) folder. Because I can have my roms in a read-only device (¿cd-rom? very 90's - early 2000's), and, then, you can do a subfolder per-core (like RetroArch does).
For example:
[save state folder]/snes9x/Chrono Trigger (U) [!].sav
[save state folder]/snes9x/Chrono Trigger (U) [!].png
[save state folder]/bsnes/Chrono Trigger (U) [!].sav
[save state folder]/bnes/Chrono Trigger (U) [!].png
But i don't know how metadata fits here.
When you open the game with snes9x he can load [save state folder]/snes9x/[game name things].
But well, you have a more ambicious project (the manager), So if "the manager" will cover all these things, there is no reason to loose time implementing this at this moment. The save-states are one of the most important features, with zip and 7zip rom load. People asked posts ago "what's next" but you corrently have a lot of work until have this launch-ready

Hi gamers, trying to play with a SNES game, I get the next error:

RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Leia) - garbear - 2017-07-11
The past month or two has seen a lot of turmoil while rewriting binary add-ons. Whenever a change is made, they must be recompiled. The LE team is waiting for the chaneges to finalize before recompiling all their add-ons. So it'll be some time, possibly weeks, before things stabailize. Sorry for the inconvenience.
RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Leia) - efegue - 2017-07-13
Does anyone have another repository with the most up-to-date Libretro Compatibility? The one in LibreELEC repo is 1.0.1.100, the current game addons require 1.0.29.
Thanks!

I've uploaded a new mockup for the in-game player manager:

Sorry to bust your bubble, but RetroPlayer isn't working yet. There's a black screen, which will be fixed when PR12507 is merged. There's also reports of game.libretro still not loading. I'll look into this when I get a chance.
