Problem with RetroPI installation on OSMC missing omxplayer repository

[LowLion]

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
2020-03-29 18:32:43.748 T:1915442736  NOTICE: Starting Kodi (18.6). Platform: Linux ARM (Thumb) 32-bit

$ 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
