[Testing] Kodi 17.0 stable/final available for RetroPie!

Rascas

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.

Rascas

@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.

BuZz

@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.

Rascas

@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.

BuZz

@herb_fargus Yeah thanks @Rascas

@Rascas
After upgrading from 16 to 17,
Rmvb video file playback only the sound did not screen, then locked.
How to fix this problem

Rascas

@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.

Rascas

@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!

can we update to final version yet??

Rascas

@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.

@AlexMurphy said in [Testing] Kodi 17.0 stable/final available for RetroPie!:

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.

AlexMurphy

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