I love it when clips of the games come on with the screensaver. What I don't love is that the audio seems to be full volume. I have the music in Recalbox turned down to about 20% as I don't want ti blaring out. Now when the screen saver comes on it's really loud. Any way to turn down the volume in just the screen saver without affecting any systems or games?
At first I have Recalbox grab a dynamic IP from my router. In the past once the Pi grabbed an IP it tended to keep the same one for ever anyway. I've even had it where it's kep the same IP between different builds of the OS because it's working off the mac address of the device anyway.
The strange thing with Recalbox is that it seems to ask for a new IP on evry reboot. I am getting anywhere in the range from 192.168.1.106-109 at random. Every time I reboot it changes.
I've been into my Pihole DHCP provided it a static ip but it just ignores it and still gives it a new IP every reboot.
Probably won't be a big issue after I've inished setting it up but right now while I'm rebooting a lot while setting stuff up it's quite annoying having to check over and over again.
Any ideas? Expected behaviour?

OK I got the external hard drive working which does seem like a better way to go, however the internal sd card share still didn't reduce in size and is 100% full. I thought it was move the files over to the external drive but it appears to have just copied them. This also means I have 2 copies of some games. Bit strange. Maybe it's expected behaviour, I don't know?
I ended up unplugging the extrnal drive, then accessing the sd card share and deleting all the previously crated kodi images and the games on there. Now it's got some space and everything is stored on the external drive.
This still didn't answer the question as to why I only ended up with a tiny 3.2GB share partition in the first place but at least it's working now. I've realised that once you get to scraping your games and it downloads screenshots and videos it does start to take up a lot of space anyway so probably good to have 2TB instead
I have a 32GB sd card in my pi 4b.
I installed recal box and all was well. I tested a few systems. all good.
I started to configure Kodi and add my media sources. All fine seemingly, then I came back to play some games. Nothing would start, just kept giving error. Then I notice that my Share folder is totally full but even more strange it's only 3.2GB. It hasn't expanded to fill the unallocated space on the card.
So now I have a problem. The share partition is exFat and I can't format the remaining unallocated space to be exFat because the card is below 32GB. There seems to be a restriction where it won't let you format it exFat in this case. This means I can't merge the partitions to make it bigger. I know everyone says put your Share on external drive but I'm really just testing right now so would like it just to use the space it's got. Any ideas?
I know it's Kodi that filled up the space with all it's images it creates with lots of media being involved.
For now I am trying it with an external 2TB drive plugged in and it's in the process of copying all the Share folders onto there. It's currently sat "copying System folder" and taking a Looooooong time. I'm hoping this is just because there is a lot of individual images in the kodi section.
First of all, I really like Recalbox and want to migrate to it. A little background. I have always had my Harmony remote connected via bluetooth to any pi I use, mainly so I can control kodi. I was recently using RGB-Pi and it worked prefectly.
When I moved over to Recalbox and started to set everything up I cannot get it working here.
Something I have noticed is when I enter pairing mode in the controller setup screen it doesn't show the harmony, but if I try and pair a new audio device in the sound setting screen the harmony does show up there. I can initiate pairing from there and it will connect but it won't allow me to control anything (obviously I guess). I suspect there might be some filtering of the devices Recalbox is allowing to be paired as a controller and it's stopping me seeing my Harmony as an option in the list.
Any advice on this?
I can connect my 8BitDo SF30Pro bluetooth controller fine so i know it's not a bluetooth issue.
