Rom files with a .bin extension aren't working. - GotProblemNeedHelp - 2019-03-28

Just nothing happens when you try to start a .bin rom. No open with emulator dialog, nothing.

By default bin is associated with movies, can you try adding this to advancedsettings.xml?

Code:
<advancedsettings>

  <videoextensions>

    <remove>.bin|.img|.iso|.zip</remove>

  </videoextensions>

  <musicextensions>

    <remove>.cue|.zip</remove>

  </musicextensions>

  <pictureextensions>

    <remove>.zip</remove>

  </pictureextensions>

</advancedsettings>

Hi there

I am facing the same problem. Where can I find the advanced settings on my RetroPlayer and how can I change them?

Do you use windows? If yes go to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata and create a file named advancedsettings.xml. copy and paste

<advancedsettings>
  <videoextensions>
    <remove>.bin|.img|.iso|.zip</remove>
  </videoextensions>
  <musicextensions>
    <remove>.cue|.zip</remove>
  </musicextensions>
  <pictureextensions>
    <remove>.zip</remove>
  </pictureextensions>
</advancedsettings>

inside the file and save it. start kodi and try starting the bin files. should work.
