OSMC (Raspberry Pi2)

[bionictoothpick]

I successfully compiled using the Debian Jessie Wiki...

However when I am in the console I get a segmentation fault upon launch. This is AM2.0rc4.

Don't have much to go on...does attractmode need to be run in X?

[ZarathustraDK]

Yes, it does.

Right now I'm trying with a retropie-image, disabling emulationstation and then installing lxde for X. Then I'll compile Attract Mode.

[bionictoothpick]

Excellent. I'll try to add X to my OSMC image...although I have a busy weekend, so might not get to it until next week.  Maybe I should order a PI3 and just wait for that to arrive...I hate to see the pi2 get dusty though.

This is straight from the wiki...

Attract mode needs an X environment to run (which RetroPie does not ship with)

to get it to work you can do

sudo apt-get install xinit
then to start attract mode you type xinit attract in the terminal

Getting closer:

When trying to compile:
main.cpp:(.text.startup+0x92a): undefined reference to `sf::Image::~Image()'

I'm so glad you are working on this.
Are you going to share your DEB for AM when it will be ready?

I'm planning to replace my XBOX (1st gen with XBMC) with RPi2 running KODI.
OSMC is my first choice and of course would like to be able to fire up AM from KODI.

What version of mame are you planning to use?

I mentioned OSMC to Floob, because while a "newbie" here, his skills are far beyond mine with the Pi and such. Hopefully we'll have the best of both worlds in the near future.

[Floob]

Thanks for the comments, although my "skills" are largely involving a sellotape and glue approach!

I'm afraid I havent tried an OSMC image in a while, so I would need to check the paths in that.
I have Kodi pre-configured in the Pi image I built, although you would need to install Kodi from the experimental section of the RetroPie menu first. I'll make sure its already installed in the next build.

To confirm, are you using an image from here? Or a different one?

[bionictoothpick]

Yes, that is where I got the image.

This is where I added emulation station to it (although I am sure you don't need that part.)

Does your build boot straight into ES, or straight into Kodi?

Whats the output of the following?
"ls /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports"
"ls /usr/bin/kodi*"

[bionictoothpick]

ls /usr/bin/kodi*

/usr/bin/kodi /usr/bin/kodi-send /usr/bin/kodi-standalone

ls /home/osmc/RetroPie/roms/ports

The user is osmc, not pi on the osmc build.

[Floob]

What happens if you set as a new emulator
/usr/bin/kodi-standalone as your executable
and no arguments?

[bionictoothpick]

Floob,

Thanks!

Kodi launches, and when I exit it returns to AttractMode. This is perfect. I'm going to google how to launch attractmode instead of OSMC on the initial boot, and I should be good to go.
