      Raspberry pi3
      I have 2 problems when i run kodi
      I have the last versions of both of them, kodi and retropie
      The First problem is that if i have plugged my Joypad and it is activated, the kodi menu stucks on the Image option, and i cannot move the cursor because it return immediately on the First menu option

      The second one, when i plug an USB device, kodi cannot recognoze it and play movie...

      Please help me

        @DuckSalmon wait til kodi 17 is out and has joypad support fixed. Otherwise you'll run into issues unless you know what you're doing. The details on setting up kodi configs are on the kodi wiki page.

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

          Thanks
          I'll wait the next update
          But how about my problem to play my video files on a USB drive?
          Kodi seems to don't recognize or don't read my USB pen drive

          Edit: The USB drive can be open only for the First seconds after the plug it

            @DuckSalmon If you can open the USB drive and than you "loose" it, it is most likely a power issue.

                @DuckSalmon You have to check if your power supply has enough current (amperes) for everything that you have connected to the Pi. Does your usb hard drive has a sepparate power supply?

                    How much amperes does your power supply have? And why are you using a bluetooth dongle when the Pi 3 has bluetooth builtin?

                      @Rascas I have the official 0.5 A raspberry power supply

                      My controller doesn't pair without it:(

                        @DuckSalmon The offiicial power supply has 2.5A. If yours have only 0.5, that's the problem.

                          I read input instead of output

                            If it really is the official power supply, that shouldn't be the problem. Normal Kodi doesn't have automount, only kodi-standalone. Either launch kodi-standalone in terminal or mount your drive manually and see if it works.
