      @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.

        @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.

        Please do - and thanks for your work on this.

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

          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.

                                    @Rascas hi, do you know where I can find the file to change that line of text. It won't detect my wiiU controller anymore.

                                      @juancaar Man, from the line that you have written, the only thing I understood is that you are trying to setup a wiiU remote. Well I never tried wii remotes, but there is a binary package for wii remotes in the repo, don't know it will work with that. Please explain better your problem, start with this:

                                        @Rascas hi, sorry. I got it to work. The WiiU classic controller. I just had to set it up. On Jarvis it worked automatically without having to do anything on Kodi, but here I had to go into input to set it up from scratch. Thanks!

                                            @G-Member Yes, it is already available for install/update via RetroPie-Setup.
