Compile it from source. It is even better as it is currently still based on xbmc so you can have kodi and xbmc without messing to your userdata folder.

Wondering if there is a debian/ubuntu repo for kodi nightlies with support of retroplayer? (including the dependencies?).
Searched github but couldn't fnd one.


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Gotham) - garbear - 2015-01-28

no nightlies. being able to obtain all my latest fixes with a single update command intrigues me, though. what do I need to create my own debian repo?


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Gotham) - OmniBlade - 2015-01-29

Try https://wiki.debian.org/HowToSetupADebianRepository perhaps? If you get a deb repo up and running that I can just apt-get update from I'm much more likely personally to do some testing BTW and I think a lot of other people who don't want to compile stuff themselves all the time will feel similarly, so this would be great.

@Garbear: if you find a repository solution that you are happy with, I would be happy to set it up and host it for you.

Hello.

I've read last threads, and it seems that you're working on a new version.
I'd like to know if a Windows version (x64) will be soon available for Kodi v14.0 Helix ?

Congrats for your hard work : I've just discovered "retroplayer" and I found it is a great idea with great functionalities !

Let us know.

P.S : I know it's a lot of work to do this kind of development, and I respect this work. I just can't wait ! Wink


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Gotham) - garbear - 2015-02-01

HI zak_vilneuv,

Thanks for the appreciation. I'll release windows test binaries at the same time as linux/openelec (and possibly osx).

I might have to skip Helix and base the next version on an I******* alpha. I prefer to develop off a stable branch, but our build system for binary add-ons needs the fixes in PR:6227.

This means early builds won't be as stable, but it incentives me to coincide a feature-complete release with I******* final (which carries a release goal of 6-8 months after Helix 14.0).

Can't wait! I hope that is the case I would much rather have a feature-complete release with I******* final like you say, I just hope that the next version of Kodi doesn't slip and instead of 6-8 it will be 9-12 months.

Am i wright that the real merge of retroplay into kodi is after the isengard release and with Kodi J***** retroplayer is official included ?


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Gotham) - Mettbrot - 2015-02-03

It will most likely not make it into Is****** As for the future nothing is decided...
@all: Please stop asking the same question over and over again. Just let garbear finish his work.
It is likely that we will see improvements merged to Kodi before Retroplayer ready. Like joystick support for example. If you are this curious you can always check out garbears branch on github, everything is there. It gives a good glance on the project.

Hi, i cloned the openelec dir form garbears git, but can't compile openelec. It wants stuff that is not there.

Code:
Cant't get xbmc sources : http://sources.openelec.tv/4.0.0/xbmc-retroplayer-24b2e0f.tar.xz

is there a working version?
I can compile the oficial obenelec, xbmc, and garbears xbmc-retroplayer but not his openelec.
Using the available version xbmc-retroplayer-13.alpha-f044e87.tar.xz does not work either.


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Gotham) - garbear - 2015-02-11

Follow the instructions at http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=171180. I think you're missing step #2: cd into tools/mkpkg and run ./mkpkg_xbmc-retroplayer. This should create the file xbmc-retroplayer-24b2e0f.tar.xz (and the corresponding confluence archive) in the sources directory.

This build is several versions old. I've been working on updating to Helix, but XBMC's joystick support is in such a sorry state I'm trying to finish my new input code before the update to avoid a large duplication of effort.


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds (updated for Gotham) - kinko - 2015-02-11

i did this. This time i paid more attention, it does this
Code:
Source tar balls generated for xbmc PKG_VERSION=retroplayer-316abac successfully.
it generates the wrong (newer) version. After changing 24b2e0f to 316abac in /packages/mediacenter/xbmc/pakage.mk and /packages/mediacenter/xbmc-theme-Confluence/pakage.mk it compiles.
Thank you for the hint.

you may need to rename some patches. this is the result of the update script i used to run
