Wont Launch RetroArch On Android 13 #272

Closed jayjayuk closed 1 year ago

jayjayuk commented 1 year ago

i have been trying to launch retroarch via IAGL on kodi 20 (Samsung Fold 3) for the past few days and nothing i do will work. i have tested launch commands via adb shell and they work fine, also if i download a game and then use AKL to find the game and launch it, it launches retroarch as it should.

i have read lots of information here on issues and on the forum for AKL + AEL about these android issues and it seems like changes have been made to kodi to implement launching retroarch properly but i cannot get it to launch retroarch using IAGL.

is this a bug for everyone right now or just with my setup?

i can provide more info if its just my setup, but if its for everyone i guess its just a waiting game. i just cannot find a clear answer.

This is already mostly fixed, mostly (see this commit). I haven't released the new version of the addon yet as there's a bug in Kodi which causes it to crash when using IAGL in general (Elementree bug in Kodi's python). Kodi added a method to launch the activity using the correct permissions with v20.

You can download the latest master if you like to test it out though

thank you, thats the answer i was looking for. i have tested the master but i get the same result unfortunately.

i have tried many combinations/versions/launch-commands of retroarch / kodi / iagl and finally after pulling my last hair out i had to ask the question. i will just wait for the kodi fix and eventual iagl update.

thanks for clearing that up and for making this plugin, very much appreciated.

ok so i decided to try a fresh kodi 20 install from the play store, installed the repo 1.0.3 to install the dependencies, then installed IAGL 3.0.7. from a zip file and turned on debugging. i have attached a link to hastebin which shows a section of the log which indicates permission issues... please see log.

Should be working in 3.0.7 - the wiki will have to be updated but there are some caveats. Main one being that the files need to be downloaded to a shared directory (one that both apps can see given their permissions). The wizard is updated to account for this. Let me know if you run into any issues.
