Hi everyone

I have trouble opening pictures in kodi.

Constellation: rpi3; recalbox 4.0 ; pictures are stored on a NAS and over smb.

First I made shure that there is no issue with the NAS and played a movie from it in kodi... Worked

If I try to add my pictures Folder to kodi over smb everything looks good.
At the moment I go to the menu "Pictures" and open my smb folder I can see that kodi loads the filenames of the pictures as a list. About a second after that kodi crashes and few moments later I'm back at the recalbox menu. Mean it's not a full reboot just a crash of kodi.

By searching the web I found that other people could fix it with changes at the "advancedsettings.xml" in that way.
<advancedsettings>
<pictureextensions>
<remove>.cr2</remove>
</pictureextensions>
</advancedsettings>
but that didn't worked for me.

I also read that this could be caused by memory issues and found this https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/9b8b6961012d5b4aaa9866c7da3f255e2e3ae303 as a try of a solution, but
find / -name "libexif.h"
did not show me a filename.

Also read here https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/issues/873
that nadenislamarre get into the same error and it would be added to be fixed in 4.1

Is there a "dirty" solution for this problem at the time or do I have to wait till 4.1?

Thx for help

Ok. Shame on me

To make a long storry short.
This works. Thx a lot. @Substring

It's been a while since I made scripts, so I just tried it the "old dos" way...

So it's solved (still searching the button for solved)

~/custom.sh is set to 755 owner avahi:root

the script in custom.sh is following:

#################################################

#!/bin/sh
#/recalbox/share/system/custom.sh
cd
cd StromPi2
python powershutdown.py &
python poweralarm.py &

################################################

The rest of this works if I start it manually. The reason for this is that this way I could turn of my physical power switch and my pi shutdown with a little battery himself.

I'll keep on searching and hope I will get it to work but thx @Substring

Hello,
I try to execute an external startscript.

What I tried is to edit
nano /recalbox/share/system/custom.sh

and place there my script.

If I execute ./custom.sh in shell it starts and I see the proceses in "top"

and the script works. After rebooting I can't see the proceses in "top"

I tried to switch order in /etc/init.d and move S99custom to S31custom or S04 custom
but after reboot nothing happens. If I execute ./S04custom manually it starts and all looks good.

Places I already checked while trying to solve my problem
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-your-own-startup-script-(EN)
https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/4370/help-with-starting-an-automatic-script-on-start-up
but didn't work for me.

Why is my startscript not executing on start?
Any idears?

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.

@Substring THX to Substring this Solution worked for me

@BubbleBoy Try disable dhcp-v6-server in your router. For me this worked after I disabled it in my fritzbox. Now I have an ipv4 adress.
Now I can ssh into my device.

BUT unfortunatly there is a bug in the version 4.0.0 that don't let me connect to the internet. Hope it will be fixed soon. You can find that bug in the forum.
