@mitu said in Pi4 - My red status led remain "Consistently Lit" also after shutdown.. it's normal ?:

Another question it's... how i can identify my actual hdmi cable if it's unidirectional or bidirectional ?

Never heard of 'unidirectional' HDMI/HDMI cable, but you probably have a regular cable, which can be plugged either way.

I have found some on amazon.it but noone whit a clear description of also whit a explanatory review :)

When i can I try to ask my trusted electronic parts seller :)

@petrockblog Excellent, thank you for the information!

@obadiahjack

I ended up figuring out a round about solution, more details on this reddit thread for those looking:

https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/l51c9g/playing_video_before_shutdown/

My roundabout solution:

As discussed with reddit user u/ben_theredonit, the pi4 fails to utilize the emulationstation.sh at the time of posting when shutting down. So editing emulationstation.sh, will not work to play a video before shut down. I solved the problem through a roundabout solution. I found a shutdown button that can be added via the carousel, developed by Steve Smith. Below is his video and in his YouTube description, his files:

The user Lampros in the youtube comments has a guide to install, if you find yourself getting the permission denied error, as many people in the comments have, I fixed mine by simply typing "sudo" in front of the "chmod +x" command

From there, I simply changed the 'rom' shutdown script adding the "sudo omxplayer RetroPie/roms/shutdown/shutdown.mp4" code and it worked.

Big thanks to reddit user u/ben_theredonit, who offered their help.

I hope this helps anyone that was lost as I was when trying to add a shutdown video.

@dankcushions said in Commands to quit frozen/bad roms? (not Ctrl + C or F4):

so the thing to note here is lr-mame is in the 'experimental' section of the retropie package manager. experiments fail :P

It wouldn't be an experiment if we knew what was going to happen :)

lr-mame2003-plus seems very reliable for me, with helpful features over lr-mame2003. Is there a list of remaining issues, or a process for that to go through before it becomes a regular optional or main package?

I ended up using @cyperghost 's script from [https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17415/multi-switch-shutdown-script?_=1609290226722](link url)

and now have things working.

@jamrom2 said in Issues with Mausberry shutdown script.:

Have a safe and prosperous New Year!

Glad you sorted it out and thank you for the nice words - Happy New Year to you too !

@mitu Thanks :)

@ramco That's weird, I never saw a TV/Remote who shuts down Kodi or the Raspberry, the power button is never assigned to o CEC button, it should only turn off the TV.
Probably it is your TV brand, never heard about that one. Each TV brand as it's own CEC implementation and name, yours might be one of the weakest.
You said you are running Kodi 18.2, Kodi is currently in version 18.8, update it and check, although I doubt it will fix your problem.

@sterpa up...thanks

You're welcome.

On more thing: As a courtesy for other user here, please add [Solved] or similar to the topic of your original post.

@zefolhadela Nintendo 64 is hit and miss on a Pi 3. A proper power supply might help somewhat, but really picking the right emulators for each game will be the way forward if you want to increase performance.

@simpleethat thanks!

How are you powering the PI ? Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

You'll need to explain in further detail. It could be anything.

Argggh,
found the reason for the problem written before:
I add the cron for user "root", this is incorrect! Must be for user pi !
root user is not allowed to start "emulatorstation".

@reboot /usr/bin/python /home/pi/mshutdown.py

@mitu There is no modification needed at all you can use multi-switch --generic command to offer an easy setup.

@MaMikee Please install raspi-gpio at first with sudo apt install raspi-gpio command. There are tons of other possibilities available ;)
