Might be that you're trying to install from an LE 9.0 repository which doesn't yet exist - can you upload a debug log when trying to install an add-on?

No, you should open an issue for every problem you encounter. Even if there's too many issues to track down, we can still get a sense for which emulators are working better and which should be shipped as default.

I opened another issue with this topic on github:
https://github.com/kodi-game/game.libret...2/issues/3

When the emulator is working (e.g. hangtime), then the emulator seems to be the best snes emulator i found on the rpi3!

Is there anyone who can say when N64 emulator is going to work on rpi3?

This is a known issue because OpenGLES support isn't implemented in RetroPlayer on the Pi. Given that it's still experimental on OpenGL (current progress), it might be a while before we see built-in N64 support on the Pi.

Have you tried IARL and RetroArch? RetroArch should support N64 on the Pi.

I have tried IARL but I haven't tried RetroArch since i dont want to replace my libreelec-Pi - for me the real beauty is to have everything directly out of kodi

Thank you Milhouse.

You might want to check this thread on the LibreELEC forum: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-4878-p...l#pid34974 also this thread https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-4235-post-34183.html

Apparently the issues you are seeing are not not seen on x86_64 hardware, so appear to be specific to the RPi.

Configuring "BOB MMAL deinterlacing" "fixes" it, can you try that and confirm if better/worse/unchanged?

Setting "vcgencmd arbiter set arm_uc 12 0" at the command line may also help (with or without BOB) - changing this setting worked for @smp1. Useful info about the arbiter setting here and here.

If this is due to insufficient RAM bandwidth then a small SDRAM overclock might help - the default RAM frequency is 500MHz but most Pi can overclock SDRAM frequency to 550, and some can go as high as 600. It does require a fair amount of testing to determine a stable overclock however (see separate threads discussing overclocking and methodology etc.).

Thanks a lot Milhouse. Unfortunatelly still the same with BOB, arbiter set to 12 0, and SDRAM O/C (500), tested both latest non-x and x builds.

This update switches to using the vchiq gpu service (rather than old mailbox interface) which allows more flexibility when submitting GPU jobs.
It also adds gpu support for weighted prediction which was one example that previously wasn't gpu accelerated.

So, if you have any HEVC (aka H.265) content then try it with this build. It should be a little better than the previous build
(and work is continuing).

I tried several of my HEVC movies, typically like this:


on my slightly overclocked Pi3:


in a cheep transparent box with a rather big DIY cooler:

After playing the movie (about 2.5 hours) the processor temperature is 60° to 66°C depending on the movie. This is a big improvement over previous version when I had to use higher OC values which resulted in about 10° higher temperatures.

IMPORTANT!!!!!

Hello, the included Player ist "maybe" "CRAP"!!!!

OK, i have a Raspberry Pi3 with a TV Stick. Most of the Channels work fine but some channels, TS Streams, have distortions.
Example I recorded a Channel and instead 3 Hours it show 16 hours of recording.
A lot of distortions in the picture.
Try to play the recording on my Mac. The same, even worse. On VLC on Quicktime. Final Cut or Premiere.

BUT: after plug in the HDD on my Samsung TV the recording is PERFECT! 3 Hours of recording no hick ups in the Picture.

WHY? Is there a better Player around to include in Kodi? So the TS Stream can play perfectly?

Maybe it is possible to extract the Player from the Samsung OS it is Linux also.

this Player does it right

Sorry for bad English.

Please Help

@tjost upload a sample video and post a link. Also upload your debug log (wiki) - see note #9 in the first post.

Not a debug log.

Also please test with latest build #0218, not a build from over a week ago.

ok. i do so. but I do have tis problems in every version I testet.

As I said:

Quote:(and work is continuing).

At the moment we are focusing on up to 1920x1080@24 with 8-bit. In my testing most videos like that play well on a Pi3 with overclock.
Higher framerates are obviously harder. The jellyfish samples are 30fps, so that is 25% more work required.

Samples of videos that don't play well (up to 1920x1080@24) would be useful in case there is something in the encoding that isn't currently gpu accelerated.
The current goal is to reduce the overclock requirements. That does mean if you are overclocking then harder videos can be played.

10-bit is not currently supported. We would like to get some support but the increased sdram bandwidth probably means 10-bit will be more limited (e.g. only 720p).

Hi John & Popcornmix,
Thanks very much for this update, several of my H.265 files, which before were jerky, have improved markedly, some are now smooth, others still have a few stalls, but definitely a very useful improvement :-) Thank you.
Hope you'll be able to squeeze some more performance out in due course.
Regards Kevin.
