After booting recalbox, when I start Kodi, the screen becomes black and it just stays there.

I asked on the French forum, no answer. I asked on the Kodi forum and they told me that Recalbox is using a different build and they can't help.

The setup has the Raspberry Pi and a Nas behind a router.

I have the following scenarios:

• I start Kodi, I instantly get a black screen.
• I start Kodi with the network cable disconnected, it will start. I can plug the cable after and it works.
• I start Kodi with the internet disconnected from the router, I get a black screen
• I start Kodi with the NAS disconnected from the router(it was there during Recalbox boot, so the share is enabled), I don't even get to the black screen. The Recalbox menu that starts Kodi locks right there.

So it looks like the issue is not about internet access.
But there is something it tries to do with the connection to the NAS that doesn't go well.
When Kodi starts and goes to the black screen, there is no activity on the NAS, so it's not doing anything with it either.

Is there a way to get Kodi to log its startup to see where it is stuck?

J'ai la derniere version de RecalBox, mais j'avais deja eu ce probleme dans le passe: Je lance Kodi a partir du menu principal et .. ecran noir, plus rien.

Je refais la meme chose en deconnectant le cable reseau, Kodi demarre, je connecte le cable, ca marche proprement.

Est il possible que Kodi se bloque en essayant d'acceder a qq chose au demarrage?

On sont les logs de Kodi?

@oyyodams ca a plus de sens, mais Kodi se retrouve tout de suite avec un ecran noir dans ce cas la. Je n'ai toujour pas elucide pourquoi quand il y a le repertoire systeme externe Kodi n'aime pas ca et je ne vois rien qui me saute aux yeux dans les logs.

@ninjaw la requete a beaucoup de sens: si d'une version a l'autre la temperature du processeur change beaucoup, il est interessant de voir ou l'usage CPU se passe car il se peut qu'il y ait un probleme qui ait ete introduit dans le code.

@ninjaw ca n'a pas de sens: il y a un lien direct entre les changements d'etat des transistors d'un circuit et la temperature. Sur ton ordi, laisse ouvert notepad pendant 5 minutes et ensuite joue a un jeu pendant 5 minutes; tu vas voir une difference de temperature dramatique

La documentation (https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Load-your-roms-from-a-network-shared-folder-(EN)) parle des shares suivantes:

SHARE, ROMS, BIOS, SAVES

Comme je montrait dans une autre discussion (https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/19300/probleme-interessant-avec-smb-kodi) que je ne peux pas utiliser SHARE pour l'instant, ca me force a utiliser 3 shares: ROMS, BIOS, SAVES, mais ca serait tres pratique d'avoir aussi OVERLAYS car ce sont des fichiers assez gros. Y a t'il une solution pour utiliser OVERLAY en externe sans recourir a la partition SHARE?

Si je prend une installation fraiche (6.1), voila les scenarios:

• pas de disque externe, ES + Kodi marchent
• disque externe avec shares separees (ROMS+BIOS+SAVES) , ES + Kodi marchent
• disque externe avec une share (SHARE), ES marche, Kodi ecran noir.

Donc quand le folder share est remappe sur le disque externe, on dirait qu'il manque un fichier pour que Kodi demarre proprement; comme Kodi ne se sers pas de ROMS/BIOS/SAVES, il a ses fichiers quand ca n'est pas tout le repertoire Share qui est sur le disque externe.

Comme je ne suis pas du tout familier avec l'organization des fichiers, etc pour Kodi, je ne sais pas ce qui est normal, ou non, dans le log.

@ninjaw oui, jai commence a le faire dans le menu de retroarch et les changements marchent jusqu'au prochain demarrage de l'emulateur ou la config est re-ecrite.

Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais le fichier de config est modifie au demarrage de l'emulateur.
Est-il possible que ES prenne sa config manette et genere la config retroarch a chaque demarrage?

I am on 6.1-dragonblaze and I definitely need to tell the emulator the cartridge type.
Since it was an auto-update, is it possible some elements didn't get updated?

I don't know how it behaved before, it's the first time I put the 5200 roms.

Le mapping, a la fin, revient a ca:

button 1 = input_b_btn = Xbox 'A' = Xbox index 2
button 2 = input_y_btn = Xbox 'B' = Xbox index 1
button 3 = input_x_btn = Xbox 'Y' = Xbox index 0
button 4 = input_a_btn = Xbox 'X' = Xbox index 3

quel bordel

mais ca ne change rien au probleme: le fichier de config est completement ignore. Dans retroarch, je suis aussi alle sur 'configuration file' / 'load configuration' et j'ai ete chercher le retroarchcustom.cfg, qui a les bonnes valeurs et.. c'est ignore.

donc je cherche toujours comment faire charger le fichier de config...

J'ai egalement ajoute, dans recalbox.conf:

retroarch.configfile=/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/retroarchcustom.cfg

pour essayer de forcer le chargement de ma config au demarrage.. mais rien..

Je veux changer les boutons en:

bouton 1 = 1
bouton 2 = 0
bouton 3 = 3
bouton 4 = 2

dans inputs/Microsoft X-Box 360 pad.cfg, ca me donne:
input_b_btn = "1"
input_y_btn = "0"
input_a_btn = "2"
input_x_btn = "3"

pour bonne mesure, dans retroarchcustom.cfg, je mets:
input_player1_a_btn = 1
input_player1_b_btn = 0
input_player1_x_btn = 3
input_player1_y_btn = 2

et.. des que je redemarre retroarch...

les keybindings sont:
button 1 = 0
button 2 = 2
...

donc le fichier config est ignore

comment puis-je rendre ces changements permanents?

When I try to run an Atari 5200 game, I get a black screen.
When I touch controller's d-pad, I gt a menu asking me what type the cartridge is.
Is there a way to enter a list so that the emulator knows what type of cartridge each game is?

Selon ce que j'ai lu, c'est pour la transmission infrarouge; comment desactiver ca dans les settings?

I am using an Xbox 360 gamepad and, for Mame, A and B buttons are swapped. Is there a way to swap them from retroarch so that it applies to all game AND this becomes the default config?
the menus in retroarch are quite confusing

ok, got it, thanks:

the file is: es_launch_stdout.log

the stderr doesn't change when I run emulators.

When I try to run an emulator and it just comes back to the menu, I would like to be able to see the log.

but the files in /share/system/logs are not changing

do I need to enable logging somewhere? or am I looking at the wrong place?

I ended up doing a re-install; but there is clearly a bug somewhere linked to controller settings and mame. I wish I had been able to isolate the issue.

I have found the problem, but I don't know what causes it:

I can run any MAME game, but using the gamepad will crash the emulator.

If I run the game in attract mode and don't touch the gamepad, it will run fine.
If I press buttons on the gamepad, the emulator will crash to a black screen.
This is happening on every title, so there is a problem with the handling of the controller.

Other emulators are not affected, it is specific to MAME.

I tried to do button remapping and that was the only controller change I did.

@iggy2 The games run in my case, they just all crash
