@j1lted said in Kodi: Screen goes black after video finishes:

This issue was introduced for me in Kodi 18. Solution for me was to:

Settings > Player > Videos > Playback > Adjust display refresh rate > On start / stop

Hope this helps others.

I could bloody kiss you, mate. Thanks for choosing to gravedig an old topic with your solution. I was pulling my hair out until I found your post. :)

thx for all,

@mitu I thought about it a few moments later.

It would be nice if the kodi setup was system default.

Here is a guide to setup Kore, if that's the one you are talking about:
http://androidpcreview.com/how-to-setup-kore-the-official-kodi-remote/2973/

It is in Android but in iOS should be the same.
If it still cannot find your Raspberry Pis Kodi, just go for manual configuration, enter the Pi IP address, port, username and password that you configured.

@rascas ah yes, I've done all that - access for the app should be enabled.

Here is my log

@rascas That's a bit crap - so you were going over the 1TB/month there, or they just didn't like the amount ? I'm sure in the past they didn't include a limit. Will switch to your repo thanks - if you need some space for package hosting I could provide some if bandwidth will be a problem at your current host.

@jell no. You can change video mode - and if your TV can switch based on that, then maybe. But the rpi can't specifically control various TV model settings.

I just tried an OSMC build (because the version of LibreElec I tried first had no emulators preinstalled and I wasn't able to figure out how to get them) with Retroplayer because a few nights ago I also tested the Android and Windows builds.
OSMC has some Libretro Cores and I only tried SNES yet. But Beetle bsnes and bsnes-mercury crashed right away (Same for ScummVM by the way). I only tried Super Metroid and NBA Jam TE on Snes9x and Metroid had some serious slow downs starting during the Intro. NBA Jam had some minor graphic issues.
At first I also had some controller issues (wrong mappings) but I can't tell if I fixed that by setting the driver to udev or by manually installing the SNES controller profiles from the windows build (seems like the Kodi Addon Repo is broken on the OSMC build. I wasn't able to install anything from it.)
Otherwise I have nothing major to say yet. It still has no support for Metadata/Images yet, so currently there is just the default lists available.

I can't wait to see how well it will perform in the feature.

Edit: Deleting the Addons27.db file from the userdata folder solved the download issues from the Repo.

@edmaul69 was doing that but no joy. In the end I just did a clean install and everything is now working... well except psx will not pick up the bios

@jlechner and it wont, unless you create some udev rules like they do in OSMC! Not sure, but yoi might need to install lircd also. Cant help you more because I don't have one fire stick.

The first place to visit is certainly the official Kodi wiki/manuals:

Hi meleu - thanks for your reply :-)

Sorry for the the lack of info. I thought it was enough to answer this.

I also thought retropie options were "version based" and not "distro based" or whatever it is called - too many geeks spoil the soup, you might say ;-)

But yes- I forgot the version - it is 4.2.12

Is there, by chance, another way to this - with making kodi quit to retropie afterwards?

@bjwest When you add a path to a library within Kodi you can select the Use Local Data only option and enable the checkbox to Look for Movies in their own folder. Thats pretty much it for setting Kodi up.
If you use tinyMediaManager to scrape all your Movies/Series beforehand, you can/must also use it to batch rename the files (which can also put them into separate folders).
That means, if you have a lot of files it might take a while to get all the data.

At least I got it working now. There is a big bust with some repository on kodi and it's hard to get some apps now. some even got shut down.

it's working after reinstallation retropie.
