        You have to give more information for us to help you.
        https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

        Like, what is your controller model ? What Kodi version you were using before updating to Kodi 17 ? Etc... Kodi logs are always of great help for us to detecting problems.

          Sorry I should have been more specific

          I have a Xbox one controller connected using USB. The controller worked fine in Retropie

          Now that I updated Kodi retropie sees the controller but the buttons don't work in retropie let alone in kodi

          This is a fresh install of Retropie and the kodi that was installed is the one that comes with it. I believe 16.1

            @BuZz Kodi 17 final/stable is pretty close, this week or next one. When released, is it ok to upload the packages to bintray, so it can be updated trough RetroPie-Setup ?
            Everything looks good for me, i am already using it in all my machines.

              I Deleted the controller configuration by using "rm /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg"

              Then I uninstalled the controller drivers in the Retropie setup and reinstalled them, after a reboot, the controller worked fine. Thanks, I hope this will help someone

                @eVenom This topic is related to Kodi 17 testing versions. Read this first https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first
                and open a new topic with your problem. If your problem is just in Kodi, follow the steps in the first post, or wait till Kodi 17 gets released.

                    you should never delete this file - it will break autoconfiguration of emulators if you ever add another controller - to clear ES input you can do it from retropie-setup / configuration / emulationstation

                      I succesfully updated kodi to 17.0 RC4 but i keep getting a popup on startup saying:

                      The following add-ons are incompatible with this version of kodi
                      and have been automatically disabled: Python Image Library

                      Can't disable it or update.......

                      Edit: solved it by restoring kodi to default, updating from Jarvis with custom settings can result in errors so it seems

                        Kodi updated to 17.0 stable/final.

                        System fixes:

                        • Fix "Black screen on exit" when running from within a Desktop Environment.

                        Just update the system, or follow the instructions on first post again.

                          @Rascas is the bintray mirror removed ? I'm getting file not found for apt source pointing there.

                            @BuZz It is syncing, I am uploading the packages right now. And by the way, in RetroPie setup script, is better to change this line:

                            aptInstall kodi
                            

                            To this:

                            aptInstall kodi kodi-peripheral-joystick kodi-inputstream-adaptive kodi-inputstream-rtmp
                            

                            otherwise, joysticks won't work.

                            And probably an additional function to install extra binary addons, like PVRs, visualizations, audioencoders/decoders, etc would be nice.

                            PS: Upload finished, should be working now.

                              @Rascas thanks - will make the change.

                              I agree it would be nice to have a little gui to install extra stuff. I will look into it.

                                @BuZz Cool. It is recommend for people using the unstable repo, to remove it now. Instructions on the first post.

                                  @Rascas I think I speak for everyone: thank you for your work on Kodi. It is great to finally have a simple joypad integration.

                                  And of course thank you @BuZz for the integration and updates on retropie.

                                          @varios I think that Real video (rmvb) is not supported anymore.

                                          PS: A friend of mine tested in a LibreELEC Kodi 17 beta, and it was also unable to play rmvb files, only audio. So it is a bug, or the support has been removed in Kodi 17 on Raspberry Pi. Better to open an issue in Kodi's forum.
