RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - GOOCHY - 2016-01-17

Are there any ".img" files out there with retro player already compiled into kodi so I could throw it on a USB stick and install? I'm not very good with Linux. Looking for one for Openelec, generic - going to install it on my Intel NUC.

Hi Goochy,
Just install a generic Kodi OpenElec build (look into the normal installation wiki for instructions) and then add your Intel NUC by its local IP-address as a samba network drive from a different computer. You can connect to the "update" folder and in there you copy the provided .tar file from the first post. It should automatically install the update after reboot.

Regards,
Rollingstone

@Rollingstone @GOOCHY the update route doesn't work as the newer retroplayer OE builds have a larger system partition than the normal ones. I'm going to try expanding my partition with gparted.


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - GOOCHY - 2016-01-17

If anyone has any suggestions on fixing that issue, or possibly a link to a img with fewer emus packaged so it's smaller?


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - flipside101 - 2016-01-17

expanding the system partition fixed the ability to use the update method (you have to move the storage partition first) teh only problem i have is the joystick addon is missing from the last setup I dl'd

New builds uploaded for Generic and RPi2

I've now split the addons into a repo and they must be installed manually from the new repo.

Generic now has the nvidia multi backport so it is safe to update the the Generic build from a Nvidia_legacy build.

Alright, fantastic work. Just tested out the Windows build and the erratic behaviour is completely gone. I can configure the XBox 360 wireless controller without any problems, and it continues to control Kodi normally after exiting the configuration window. The only issue I had was when playing a game, then pressing the Guide button to pause the game and switch back to Kodi, I couldn't navigate in Kodi any longer until I had quit the game entirely. To do that, I had to use the Tab key on the keyboard to regain functionality for the keyboard cursor keys. Once I had selected the Stop icon and pressed Enter, I could control Kodi again.

Oh, and I now have Yatse control back on my Android phone, so thanks for that too.

Awesome!

Thanks!

I have backported nvidia multi support to this branch, so now you can use the Generic build instead of Nvidia_Legacy build

Can I checkout your repo: https://github.com/lrusak/OpenELEC.tv/tree/retroplayer-openelec-6.0 Branch: retroplayer-openelec-6.0
and compile a build for WetekPlay by myself like a regular build of OE or do I have to do something else?

I have now uploaded a WeTek_Play build.

Got ahead of myself slightly there, it seems the volume controls aren't working as expected in Yatse. Mute works fine, the volume up and down keys do bring up the volume slider on screen, but do not actually adjust the volume at all. Close though!


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - Mettbrot - 2016-01-18

Hey!
I just tried OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0-retroplayer-20160118045753-r21784-gda8c8a0.tar and had a few freezes with it: http://sprunge.us/QAAD and http://sprunge.us/aOLM

Also the input configuration is quite bumpy: When I want to start setting up the N64 controller layout I press "Enter" on the keyboard it always skips the A button (as if I pressed enter twice). Same goes for "X" on the PS3 controller.
When I managed to set it up somewhat properly and I start a game in mupen64plus I cannot use the set controls since kodi reacts to them as if I was in video mode or something.

Hi What version of windows are you running, im on 10 and I've been trying for a while .windows sees it and all tests show the controller working but I can't get it to be seen in KODI


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Isengard) - motamas - 2016-01-18

Hey!
At first i will thank you for all the work you spend in this project.
Today i tested since a whil the new version of kodi on my rpi 2. I really don't what i'am doing wrong but i cant use my controller which a want to use.
It is a Logitech Rumblepad 2 which is set up in retroplayer as a joystick. But if i want to set up the keys for the different controller or by using the controller in kodi it doesn't work. I only can use the remote from my TV.
What i'am doing wrong?
Thanks for help.

I currently have the same issue on my RPi2. I'll ask garbear what he needs to look into it.

This should be fixed in the next round of builds.

It looks like those freezes are in Mupen64. N64 support is still highly experimental. Can you try different plugins in Mupen64's add-on settings?

I can't reproduce this since the erratic behavior went away. Is it still an issue? Can you post a debug log?

Is there any news at all on the android version?

Apart from "its not ready yet"
