Instructions which are working for me here:

@RapidEdwin08 --- Thank you.
It worked really well.

@RapidEdwin08 said in How To Auto Start into Kodi When The Option Is Missing?:

Modify autostart. sh with the content of the Exec= command pulled from the RetroPie Desktop shortcut.
Example /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh:

kodi
gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar -e emulationstation

There wasn't a file "autostart. sh" at /opt/retropie/configs/all/.
But it was fine, I just created one in that location and continued with your instructions.

Again, it worked very well. Thank you.

@ExarKunIv It did not work for my Xbox S wireless controller, but it did work for my Dualsense. Once that was connected, all I had to do was start the binding process by pressing enter on the keyboard while selecting the first binding and then going down the binds with my Dualsense. Thanks!

@DaveWins182 said in Retropie Drive Partition Issue with Kodi:

Any idea how I could remedy this? Thanks in advance!

Don't use /dev/sdX[Number] in your /etc/fstab, add the mount point based on the partition's UUID(s) (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab#File_system_UUIDs). This way the order of the USB devices is not relevant and the mount points will be always correct.

@mitu thankfully I just figured out how to do that and had putty set up so I’m back to ES.
I’ve also learned that the Pi is still running after Kodi crashes. It just sends my tv to no signal so I thought it shut off.

@duglor I already have a issue open that it's erroring out now.

I have not look into it yet.

Also you can just open a new post. You don't have to piggy back off of this post just to get ahold of me

sorry, you can make a post here about things dealing with my Repo https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35354/suggestions-for-ports-3-pi5-edition?_=1720529308617

@raspberry79 is there a question here or just a continuation of your previous topic from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35170/ ?

This could work:

Kodi is quite outdated on RetroPie (18.7) in comparison to the latest available version 20.3 so this might be a bug / issue in that outdated version.

I wouldn't also put much hope in getting support for a product only included in RetroPie like Kodi in this forums, better look for support at e.g. https://kodi.tv

Yeah I think this is it. Thanks for the help.

@txutxifel @windg Pi4 Bookworm 64bit Lite I could not install Kodi from RetroPie-Setup.
I ended up just installing v20.2 manually.

sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-peripheral-joystick kodi-inputstream-adaptive kodi-vfs-libarchive kodi-vfs-sftp #kodi-vfs-nfs

I have retropie going and I have kodi installed.
Right now Im in kodi, it is now 18.7 so how I update kodi to the newest version

Some details about your setup would be helpful - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
What's the exact error message you get when trying to install Kodi ?

i think the path for kodi is this /opt/retropie/ports

@mitu
Guess I'll just live without packages, thanks man.

Edit:
I got it to work, I managed to install Kodi and steamlink!

You were right it was something with the DNS settings, I changed it to 8.8.8.8 using this guide through terminal and it just immediately worked.

@Tanzbärli did you manage to get a more recent kodi update?
