      Dear All,

      I'm trying to install RetroPie on OMSC using:
      https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git

      During installation, I have the following problem:

      = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
      Installing dependencies for 'emulationstation' : EmulationStation - Frontend used by RetroPie for launching emulators
      = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

      Did not find needed dependencies: omxplayer. Trying to install them now.

      .......

      Could not install package(s): omxplayer.

      It looks that omxplayer is no longer available in repository.

      Is there any workaround for that?

        I can disable that dependency on osmc. Please can you give info about osmc version and hardware etc.

          Thank you for answer:
          I use RPI3 hardware

          I run the following commands:
          grep Kodi .kodi/temp/kodi.log | head -3

            Hi all!

            I'm facing the same issue. Just tried to install it today and wasn't successful at first.

            Here's my system info to add to the previous one:

            $ grep Kodi .kodi/temp/kodi.log | head -3

$ grep VERSION_ID /etc/os-release
VERSION_ID="2020.03-1"

            However, in case anybody ends up here in the meantime, I did manage to solve the installation of emulstation with the instructions on https://github.com/hissingshark/retrOSMCmk2/issues/5
