Better Kodi Support #879
Comments
Pull requests welcome :) (Some good ideas - Kodi is still in experimental and does need some more work - so if anyone would like to help improve it please do). |
These are just a few ideas on how some points on your request might be implemented- I currently lack the scripting knowledge to do it myself but hopefully these ideas can at least point someone who is more programmatically inclined, in the right direction. First and foremost I think Kodi should be updated to kodi 15 (which can be installed using this guide https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=109088) and then these ideas should be implemented for Kodi 15 (which should hopefully retroactively work for Kodi 14.2)
I'm not sure how many things have already been solved with Kodi 15 but at the very least it doesn't have the black screen bug when you exit kodi. |
+1 for all of them. I 've managed to:
What i haven't be able to do is to shut down completely the system from within the kodi menu (this can be an enhancement i beleive). I have opened an "issue" here and in RetroPie forum in order to contribute any thoughts:) |
Regardless of how the joystick issue is solved, I believe you need to go the keymaps way. It needn't be difficult however, as a base joystick xml can be inserted, and then mapping the correct key ids to the correct keys. However, it is important to understand that the |
Repo with Kodi 16 added now for RPI - which has patches for joypad support. Requires a manual configuration currently though. |
Any thoughts to ad.3 i would preffer booting to kodi and switch to emulationstation from there. |
+1 for this. Difficult to stricktly be implemented though as this is a RetroPie project and not kodi. It would be good if we had the option (maybe in retropie menu?) to do it though.. |
The thing about booting to kodi is that, as far as I can tell, the controller setup happens in emulator station. Booting a new device directly to kodi would yield no control. |

I wrote a small program to add cec to retropie for myself, it works with the current retropie and does not apply keypresses when retroarch or kodi is running. Basically it translates your tv remote button presses into specific keyboard keys you defined when you set the keyboard up. You don't need a keyboard attached to use it. It can run as a non root user and can be set to run at boot. It has 2 dependencies both in the repos and it is light on resources and will use your existing keyboard config *

Like many I'm looking to use KODI and Retropie together in harmony. My suggestions are as follows:
2, 3 -> Rather easy?
5 -> Appears someone is working on CEC support already, might be worth to try a build? - Aloshi/EmulationStation#421
Retropie is awesome, please consider these suggestions.
