Testers wanted: major system upgrade (Pi3b+, KODI 17 and much more ...)

[starmagoo]

Maybe I found another problem: I would like to set up an IR remote control for Recalbox and KODI. When I try to save/record the IR commands the "lircd" deamon does not start. If I try to start it manually, I get the error message "segmentation fault". Don't know if it's a problem with the beta system discussed here!?

Here is my howto: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Infrarot-Fernbedienung-für-die-recalbox-(DE)

thanks

@oyyodams Nice, I will be waiting for it, although if the highly anticipated (at least for me) feature of swapping Ok and Cancel back to normal is added to ES I would be even more hyped for it, even without it I am happy and inpatient for it, thank you everyone

Hello Dev team !

I'm running the 11/29 beta on my Pi3B+ and so far it's working great except the wifi that is still very buggy (unable to connect) so I keep it on ethernet.
FYI, there is an upgrade available notifications that pops up (I'm configured on the beta channel) but when I try to apply it I get the following error message : "An error occured - Downloaded : " without any download.

I'll try later on to see if this could be a temporary issue with the servers.

Keep up the good job and thanks a lot for all your efforts into this !

@warhead999 : Look at the last moderator's post.

Hello

I have done a small test by deleting roms from an emulator (reproduce on any emulator) and when you delete the last one, you get a black screen. Is it a known bug?

Test has been done one the last beta and a Pi3b+

@chris256 Desactive "vérifier les mises a jour". Il doit certainement te proposer une maj en 18.07.13

[Sergio Durán]

@slolo Same thing in the stable version, it is annoying since you need to hard restart your pi

[Zyphos]

I know it's an annoying question but I'm gonna ask it anyway.
Do you guys think the stable update with the 3B+ support will come out before christmas?

Would love to give my girlfriend a Recalbox Pi 3B+ as present.
Should I have my hopes in a stable version before the holidays or should I try to configure the beta as good as it gets?

Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the new version. Cheers.

@Zyphos
No date was given.
You can for sure provide your girlfriend a 3b+ with beta version, it will works until new release will be available

Bonjour,

Test de la beta donc sur B+.

Plusieurs problèmes rencontrés :

-Ma manette 8bitdo SF30 pro à énormément de mal à se connecter et à rester connectée. Elle chope le signal puis le perd , je dois éteindre et rallumer plusieurs fois pour que sa la reprenne et rebelote. En plus de gros lags sur les commandes en jeux voir ne fonctionne plus du tout.

-Le menu du wifi freeze une fois les informations rentrées. Je dois activer le wifi, choisir le réseau, couper le wifi, rentrer le mdp puis fermer le menu. Re-ouvrir le menu et activer le wifi, la c'est passé sans freeze.

-Crash écran noir à chaques tentatives de scrap d'un jeux.

Voila voila.

@is_greqt La manette 8BitDo SF30 marche bien si elle est bien appairée et bien utilisée. Je l'utilise sur mon RPi3b+ avec la beta version et elle marche niquel. Le seul souci c'est le bouton select qui, en cours de jeu sur n'importe quel émulateur de l'ES, change la configuration graphique (le mode s'affiche en jaune au bas de l'écran). Pas très pratique en MAME, NeoGeo, Libretro etc... quand tu mets tes crédits lol Cela dit, en en mettant suffisamment (5, 6 ou 7), tu retombes sur le mode par défaut et cela fonctionne parfaitement

Pour le Wi-Fi, il marche aussi très bien. Je me rappelle avoir un peu galéré au début et j'ai eu besoin de changer le mode de ma clé de cryptage, mais une fois ceci fait, cela fonctionne très bien. J'avais suivi des tutos sur ce site qui expliquait les pré-requis du fonctionnement du Wi-Fi.

Pour le scrapping, je n'ai jamais rencontré ton souci et ne sais pas à quoi il est du.

Bon courage !

[iS_GreqT]

@Scavy
J'ai tenter d'appairé maintes fois mais non ya pas moyen. La manette fonctionne très bien sur retropie cela dis. Oui le wifi fonctionne bien une fois config, je n'y touche plus.

Le scrapping pas moyen, vraiment.

Je retente se soir pour voir.

[Snipy]

J'ai le meme probleme pour le scrapping sur la dernière BETA , sur celle juste avant je n'avais pas de soucis.

Sans discréditer le super travail des développeurs, il y a des alternatives au scrapping de l'ES. Elles sont pas mal du tout et comprennent tout un tas de fonctionnalités extra.

@scavy j'ai le même soucis du coup si je fais hotkey + b j'arrive à rentrer dans le menu retro arch mais après ça bug.

[Zyphos]

@olivierdroid92 Thanks for getting back.
I have the beta running quite smoothly for some weeks now.
Only major issue right now: is there are temporary fix for the scraping problem? Would be nice to have box art for the games. But scraper does not work. A known issue in the forum and will surely be resolved in the stable version. But for now?

[iS_GreqT]

@Scavy J'ai essayer pendant plus d'1h de connecter ma FC30 pro hier. J'ai tout reset, essayer par les commandes terminal ect. Plus moyen de l'apparairer. Je me tate a reflasher la sd et a repartir a zero pour voir.

@is_greqt For me following workflow helped. It was in stable, but I'm sure it works for beta too.

1. Delete the file where all bluetooth devices are stored on network share:
   \share\config\bluetooth\bluetooth.tar (don't know if path is 100% correct, but you'll find it!)
2. Disconnect Pi from power supply. I know it's rude, but I found no other way. If you soft reboot, file deleted tar-file will recovered autmatically.
3. Pair your 8Bitdo controller

Unfortunately I had to send back my controller to seller though, because after some reboots of Recalbox controller suddenly didn't want to connect anymore and I had to do the same process again and again. - Really annoying.
As it happend only with SF30 Pro I guess controller itself had failure. But anyway, mentioned workflow above is the only way for me to pair a 8bitdo controller again, which has lost its pairing for some reason. "Forget controllers" option in EmulationStation isn't enough.
By the way my 8bitdo N30 Pro works nicely
Hope this helps!
