Not sure the problem, but it appeared to be with the Millhouse build.
Installed a fresh copy of the latest LibreElec & everything worked flawlessly.

Hello.
In Krypton, I was able to run some games from external emulator by editing a "videoextensions" in "advancedsettings.xml", and by adding an "ExternalPlayer" in "playercorefactory.xml".
In Leia, it works. But since there is a "Game" menu entry for games library/add-ons/RetroPlayer features, is there a way to say to Kodi to use an ExternalPlayer of my choice from this menu entry replacing the add-on/retroplayer default player?
Without installing any game addon?
For example with a gameextensions section and a game="true" attribute, simply like for audio and video?
Something like :
<advancedsettings version="1">
<gameextensions>
<add>.n64|.z64</add>
</gameextensions>
</advancedsettings>
And:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="Mupen64plus" type="ExternalPlayer" game="true">
<filename>"/usr/games/mupen64plus"</filename>
<args>"{0}"</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
</player>
</players>
<rules name="my_rules" action="prepend">
<rule game="true" filetypes="n64|z64|avi|mp4" player="Mupen64plus"></rule>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Can't edit the post, so I continue from step 7.
7. I have XBOX controller connected via USB to the machine. I tested that it is being recognized and working using jstest-gtk utility (requires installing with apt)
8. Got to Settings -> System -> Input -> Configure Attached Controllers. Choose "Super Nintendo" controller and configure the buttons according to the image. Don't map X on the XBOX to the "X button" as they are at different locations on the controller. Use the image for reference. I also advice to map left thumb-stick to the up/down/left/right keys, it is more pleasant to play this way.
9. That's it, the controller is working now and it is possible to even control the Kodi UI with it.

Hi!
I get no sound in any games/emulators.
I have audio through spdif setup in kodi.
is there a setting somewhere i can get it to put sound through spdif? (my tv is connected through hdmi, so i guess its defaulting to this output?)
many thanks for any help!
Best Regards
Patric

i follow this guide and i was trying to launch .bin files, especially with pcsx rearmed (psx games) and genesis emulator (genesis games), i still cant launch roms because kodi only propose to me : vectrex, atari, gba, vitrual boy.
- i created an advancedsettings.xml like mentionned in the first post

How can i add more emulator choices when i launch a specific file ?

The emulator choices are determined by the file extension. Try changing the extension or using a game file with a different extension.
If you can identify an emulator that should support a file and doesn't, let us know and we'll file a bug report.
