            Sorry for double post, but I wanted to let you know that there might be an easy solution to fix the "no connection" problem.

            If your host (gandi.net ?) supports .htaccess there might be an easy solution.

            In ISPconfig the domain has to be "RECALBOX.COM" (without www) and auto-subdomain has to be "www"

            The A records in the DNS setting:
            IP for www.recalbox.com is 163.172.153.70
            IP for recalbox.com is 217.70.184.38

            That is why the update is not working and the recalbox shows "not connected"

            To fix the problem the IP for recalbox.com and www.recalbox.com just have to be the same.
            Check the DNS settings and see the A record for yourself.
            The hoster (gandi.net ?) should be able to fix it.

            You also have to add the following code to your root .htaccess file:

            This redirects all non-www requests to your site to the www version

            RewriteEngine on
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

            The second line means: if the HTTP_HOST does not (!) start with (^) "www.", then put it in memory for the next line. The next line says: from what was captured in the previous line, match everything (.*) from beginning (^) to end ($) and save everything (inside the parenthesis) as $1. Then replace $1 with ""; plus the HTTP_HOST variable.

            And this would redirect all www requests to your site to the non-www version
            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^my-domain.com$ [NC]
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://my-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

            I really hope this helps, and everyone will be able to update 🙂

            Cheers

              I am having the exact same issue - emulationstation does not recognize it's connected because the ping to recalbox.com fails. But kodi works fine.

              Any updates on this?

              Thanks!!!

                    Hey guys. I did one test here. It is somehow related to my ISP. Whenever I try to reach (ping, traceroute) recalbox.com from my home Internet connection (picture 1), the packets all get lost. But if I try to reach the same address using my 4G connection (picture 2), it works just fine.

                    Do you guys have any idea on the cause of this strange ISP-specific behavior?

                    Picture 1 (using my home connection):

                    Picture 2 (using my 4G connection):

                      @fegemo I think is really some ISP problem.. because i use GVT/VIVO too.. and i get no connection, but i can connect with 4G like you.

                      I tried today with last RecalBox (Unstable 4.1.0 build 63), same problem again..

                          SOLUTION UNTIL IT IS FIXED UPSTREAM :
                          edit ~/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg and replace <string name="UpdateServer" value="recalbox.com" /> with <string name="UpdateServer" value="archive.recalbox.com" />

                                  @Substring thanks for the solution. I did something similar, which was to add an entry to the hosts file to make "recalbox.com" point to the IP of www.recalbox.com. To be able to do that, I had to remount the file system as writable. The commands were:

                                  1. ssh root@192.168.X.X and then type the default password for the root user (described in the wiki)
                                  2. mount -o remount,rw /
                                  3. echo "163.172.165.227 recalbox.com" >> /etc/hosts

                                    @fegemo this is much more complicated and would blow up on update. But glad it worked for you 🙂

                                      @Substring Did not work for me. 😞 Connection status still shows "not connected" although the Box is cabled and assigned an IP adress.

                                          For all of you who have your games on an USB device or hdd. Then you need to change the settings on /media/usb0/recalbox/system/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg.
                                          usb0 depends on your system. could also be usb1 ect. just try it out which one fits for you

                                          So for people who have their games on an USB / hdd device try edit

                                          /media/usbXY/recalbox/system/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg and replace

                                          <string name="UpdateServer" value="recalbox.com" /> with
                                          <string name="UpdateServer" value="archive.recalbox.com" />

                                          edit: looks like this not really works. after reboot the es_settings.cfg is back to default for me.

                                            For people who are uneasy at editing the file, juste paste this in SSH : /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop && sed -i "s+recalbox\.com+archive\.recalbox\.com+g" ~/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg && /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation start
