        I'd like to have it (Kodi tab) back in the side scrolling menubar on emulationstation like it was once in the past. Read somewhere that it freezes and was put into the ports menu or something like that but can't remember exactly what was the cause of the move. Anyone know if it can be put back inline again with the new 16.1?

          It can't be. The code to do that was bugged and had to be removed as it broke the scraper, and changing themes.

            If you want, I can upload to github my forked ES version from PiPplware, which is the same as RetroPie's, the only diference being that, on start, if there isn't any user interaction for 10 seconds, Kodi autostarts automatically. Than if you exit Kodi, it returns back to ES like it normally does, if launched from the ports menu. It is only a little change to the ES code.

                All works fine again. Adding kodi to bachrc worked. I have some small problems with resolution but it's not a big deal.

                  I just wish to share how it's working on my end. It's not fast (RPI 1) but it works like it supose to.

                          I did what you said and I'm getting errors regarding import xbmc, xbmcgui, and xbmcaddons. It is saying that the modules are not there. Is anyone having that issue?

                            said in Start Kodi with emulationstation link:

                            while [ true ]; do

                            What's the purpose of the "while [ true ]; do" line in emulationstation.sh? Won't this lock up system resources? (Isn't this basically an endless loop?)
