First time setting up Retropie and I have three questions.
-
-
I've installed Kodi and configured Retropie to auto start Kodi when the system boot. But I have to manually type the user "pi" and the password "raspberry" every time the system starts. If I select to start in EmulationStation, I don't need to type the password.
Is there a way to start Kodi without the need to type the username and password during the boot? -
When configuring my Xbox One controller, when comes to the part to press the left trigger button, once I press the button, Retropie accepts it as the left trigger, but also goes crazy and skips the next two keys configuration. I cannot go back, so I need to move on and leave those 2 keys without proper configuration. I couldn't find a way to add them later.
Is it possible to edit the controller configuration? While in the first setup, how can I go back to the previous key config? -
Sometimes I just want to navigate through the UI and don't want to plug the Xbox controller, so I was wondering if it's possible to have multiple controllers. It is possible to have the the Xbox One controller and a bluetooth keyboard to navigate through Retropie UI?
I tried to find this answers in the forum and in the documentation, but I couldn't find them.

Can you try enabling auto-login from the
raspi-config
utility in theRetroPie
system in Emulationstation ?- When configuring my Xbox One controller, when comes to the part to press the left trigger button, once I press the button, Retropie accepts it as the left trigger, but also goes crazy and skips the next two keys configuration.

Re-install the
xpad
driver (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Xbox-360-Controller/#xpad-driver), then re-run the input configuration - you should be able to configure it without the problem you're describing.- Sometimes I just want to navigate through the UI and don't want to plug the Xbox controller, so I was wondering if it's possible to have multiple controllers.

Yes.

Yes.
I also couldn't find where I can add a new input.

Thanks for the heads up. I've added the information I found.

@tuta1986 To configure inputs open the main menu with the start button assigned to keyboard or controller and choose 'Configure Input'. To add different types of controllers and/or keyboards just bring this menu up and repeat the process.
-
@tuta1986 To configure a bluetooth keyboard, try to use the
Bluetooth
menu in the RetroPie menu to pair the keyboard (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Bluetooth-Controller/). It's meant to be used for adding a BT gamepad, but it might work for your keyboard.
