Thanks I'll follow it.

There is 2 issues I think :

• audio config not restored on boot (after manual setting, I get audio in games)
• kodi audio not working at all (even after setting audio output device in RB)

I tried this config, but there is still no sound on HDMI:

• cat /boot/config.txt
  hdmi_drive=2
  dtparam=audio=on
  config_hdmi_boost=0
  hdmi_force_hotplug=1

After reboot, Kodi is able to play videos without sound.
If I go to settings/audio, menu stucks for 20/30secs, then goes timeout.
There I cannot select audio output (with is empty !).

Any idea ?

Some infos:

• recalbox.conf:
  audio.device=auto
  audio.volume=100
  audio.bgmusic=1
• /boot/config:
  <empty>
• cat /proc/asound/cards:
  0 [OdroidXU4 ]: Odroid-XU4 - Odroid-XU4
  Odroid-XU4
• grep audio /etc/retroarch.cfg | grep -v "#":
  <empty>
• lsmod | grep snd
  <empty>
• cat /etc/modules.conf
  uinput
  usbhid
• amixer
  <empty>

Looks like no driver is loaded ...

I confirm library scanning is working back.
Some magic have been done in kernel/filesystem ...
Thanks.

Looks better with RB6.1 (I have to test more when I'll have time to update all libraries)
Since there is no Kodi update, was it an issue with kernel ? or some libraries ?

However, I cannot play any file since audio is not working

Hi,

I updated to RB6.1 and found new issues :

• system sound is at 0% after start.
• kodi cannot play videos (they are freezing)
• no sound when playing music
• default sound card seems to be analog on kodi, while I'm using an AVR.

BR,
Alex.

Hi, no help so far.
Someone on discord reproduced the issue on Odroid-Xu4.

I updated to RB6.1 and found new issues :

• system sound is at 0% after start.
• kodi cannot play videos (they are freezing)
• no sound when playing music
• default sound card seems to be analog on kodi, while I'm using an AVR.

I posted a new thread here : https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/18866/odroid-xu4-kodi-with-rb6-1

Last step I tried to remove all modules from Kodi (menuconfig), except alsa but even without mysql modules, I get a segfault on Kodi start.

Since there is no help here, I'm looking for help on recalbox's github and buildroot.

Hi,

How how to rebuild kodi in buildroot ?
I mean I tried make kodi-rebuild, even make kodi-dirclean; make kodi rebuild but none gave a binary with make menuconfig changes

BR,
Alex.

Can't go higher ... no dev can give me some tips ?
That's a shame ...

I get an "Unrecognised instruction" in libcrypto:

Here is a full log : https://pastebin.com/hs5r43iF

I'd like to get more clues to investigate but it seems I don't have symbols:
*arcueid@Arcueid-VM:~/recalbox-odroidxu4/output/host/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot$ objdump -t usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin

usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin: file format elf32-little

SYMBOL TABLE:
no symbols*

However, I'm sure I enabled symbols and do not strip options in menuconfig :
│ │ [] build packages with debugging symbols
│ │ gcc debug level (debug level 2) --->

│ │ gcc optimization level (optimization level 2) --->*

Please I really need help on this topic, is there any developper comming here ?
How should I report a bug on this distribution ?

Alex.

Hi,

No news since almost 20 days.
Is there anybody that can help me investigating this issue ?
Should I need to recompile kodi with debug symbols ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Alex.

Anything planned for this support ?

How is PSX emulator with roms from 1GB Network ? loading isn't too slow ?

Edit:
Sorry, I think I'll keep System and Roms on the HDD, mounted thanks to recalbox-boot.conf.
On the other hand, I will request Kodi to find media from SMB shared folders:
https://kodi.wiki/view/Adding_video_sources#Adding_Remote_sources
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Attendre-le-réseau-avant-le-démarrage-de-Kodi-(FR)

Thanks for the help so far. Now my main concern is the libraries crashing on Kodi start: https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/17659/kodi-crashes-after-library-scan/4

Do you have any suggestion to use these 2 devices ?

Hi,

I there any solution to make this file mounting a device and network folders ?

Hi all,

I've made a trial of this database on my x86_64 laptop, and database works.
Is there something wrong with odroid xu4 database parsing ? or lib version ?

Please someone can give some tips for investigating this issue ?

BR,
Alex.

Hi Acris,

Thanks for the tip.
I just had CTR running thanks to https://docs.libretro.com/library/pcsx_rearmed/#bios

I will download *.cue and *.sbi for all other roms and check execution.

Merci

Issue is the same with SCPH1001.BIN, scph5501.bin or scph5502.bin

Roms md5sum:
CTR - Crash Team Racing (E) (EDC) [SCES-02105].bin : 721fce296675c5a10922d6ffab86c73b

I created the missing directory and learn that *srm files are for saving.

Still no ideas of the issue yet.

Above database works with 17.6 Kodi on Ubuntu 18 LTS with this version:

Is there someone who can try using embedded RecalBox ?

@moderators: this issue is probably not related to Kodi, but with distribution. Please move this thread as desired.

Hi I have some new with this library scan issue.
I talked of this issue on Kodi official forum : https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=343694&pid=2854789

I found that the crash comes from a kind of corrupted database.
But this same database works on another system : https://uploadfiles.io/r8gjq3dl

I'm looking to a distribution/sw version issue.
