Thanks @garbear for adding last minute fixes to v17 Smile
Is there any Linux (for example, to be used in Ubuntu) release?

Sorry, you'll have to compile yourself. RetroPlayer has been merged into Kodi's master branch, so you can either build from my repo (https://github.com/garbear/xbmc ) or the official repo (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc ). I'll add instructions on how to build from the official repo with game add-ons.
I've compiled garbear's v17 branch together with some fixes from fetzerch (from here: https://github.com/fetzerch/xbmc/commits/retroplayer-17) on my 16.04 install. I guess this should work for other people running kodi v17 on 16.04. Feel free to try, if anything goes wrong you should be able to just reinstall v17 from launchpad.

This does not support pulseaudio, since I'm using alsa! All the game addons are in there together with peripheral.joystick and pvr.vnsi.

To install:
Code:
sudo tar xvf kodi.tar.gz -C /
Cool, would love to see a windows build sometime with game add-ons included.

I'm desperate to make a nice demo video Wink

In its current form, RetroPlayer v17 is just Kodi v17 with the following PRs backported:

* PR10875
* PR10964
* PR11013
* PR11022
* PR11034
* PR11035
* PR11065
* PR11066
* PR11093
* PR11097
* PR11257
* PR11262
* PR11334
* PR11571

I don't know how much work it would be to rebase these on top of the patches LE uses.

I've tried to compile LE build for my Amlogic S905X based Nexbox A95X and it basically seems to work except for save states. However I'm not sure if save states are supposed to work in 17.0 final.

The build is here: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-4637.html
Where can i get the latest version for Raspbery pi 3?
Is it still beta? and where can i get a tutorial on haw to install roms, scraper etc?
I am not interested where to download the roms but what to do with them once i have them
For people wondering about retroplayer on LibreELEC. Just use the latest milhouse builds as retroplayer is in kodi master.
I have created
PHP Code:
cat /storage/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml
<advancedsettings.xml>
  <
gamesgeneral>
    <
enable>true</enable>
  </
gamesgeneral>
</
advancedsettings.xml
But no Games section on Milhouse build for rPi2.

That's because you've used <advancedsettings.xml> and </advancedsettings.xml> tags.

The tags are:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
...
</advancedsettings>
Thx. Garbear did that mistake few pages back.

EDIT: I don't know what is wrong but on latest Milhouse build i can't install any add on. Kodi does not react when I chose to install anything - not only from LibreElec Retroplayer repository.

Kodi should at least show an error message. @Milhouse can you pick https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/11163 ?

Can you upload a debug log? That will tell us what went wrong.

The Game API version was bumped recently, so that could be a culprit.

I'll re-add PR11163 so that it is in the next build (#0208). Any reason why this isn't merging? I'd rather not continue including pull requests that are not going to be accepted.
about 15:50 i was trying to add cores, here is log:
http://sprunge.us/XOGL
I don't see anything in log about plugin installation.
I have no physical access to device now to put it in debug mode.
Ok. Here is debug:
http://sprunge.us/OcjR

404: not found

I downloaded 4 example:
http://lrusak.libreelec.tv/addons/8.1/RP...91.0.7.zip
and when I try to install from zip i get that dependency Kodi.Game 1.0.28 failed.
Just tried the latest build based on 17 final

I have an iMON device for IR, when I enable the Joystick addon my iMon start going a bit crazy turning on/off constantly

Reported this one quite some time ago but noticed one user posting saying it was fixed for them, but is still present for me

I'm assuming this issue is present in current v17 final where I can't have a joystick and imon enabled at the same time

garbear, do you need another debug log?
