@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.

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!

Hi guys, im new in this topic but i tried install kodi from binary and not working, it says 17.0 in update by method retropie setup but is non functional, my question is:: this method in page is only way to install? And my kodi not open after update and i tried reinstall but not sucess, it go back to ports screen😢😢!
If is possible help me to uninstall and install from correct method! Thanx for all and sorry my bad english😁😁

EctoOne

@mediamogul hmm, I just rebooted my OSMC and had no issues after that.
But whatever, after an hour of testing I can say that Krypton is not for me. In my setup the sound is worst than on Jarvis and so far I've not found a Skin that I like (I I really hate the big widgets on the Mimic Skin. They are covering my custom wallpaper).

That is most probably an indication that you have problematic addons installed. Rebuilding the database may solve that problem in some cases. The log always helps ;)

AlexMurphy

@Rascas It did. Can you define "problematic"?
