      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.

                        After upgrading from 16 to 17,
                        Rmvb video file playback only the sound did not screen, then locked.

                          @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.

                                        @Rascas Seems a lot of people including myself are getting a first run error on Krypton. Addons27.db is empty and needs to be deleted, then Kodi launches fine.

                                          I have a few friends and family running OSMC and this has been an issue there as well.

                                            @mediamogul It was easily sorted with a look at the log and a quick google but as you know not everyone will do that!
