RetroFE forums

I've been using retrofe as a linux frontend to launch games and other software. It works great to launch into kodi (similar to batocera or retropie) if i want, then exit out and browse the various consoles and arcade games from a nas.  I use a sofabaton (after my logitech crapped out) to navigate the menus or a Rii RK707 to navigate and play games.  or an xbox360 wireless controller with dongle.

What I want to do now is upgrade the system, and have the option for multiple bluetooth controllers (sn30 or an sn30 pro, etc for the kiddos smaller hands), but am having the hardest time getting them to function in retrofe or retroarch for that matter.  if i connect via USB it's fine.

Is this a limitation of sdl2 or linux or both?  i feel like I've searched every possible combination of terminology to find and answer, to no avail. so i figured i'd inquire with the masters to see if there's another answer.

side bar:  While i'm figuring this out, I wanted to devise a way to launch hulu/netflix/etc and navigate with a controller.  I've successfully launched from retrofe a brave browser in kiosk mode, but if I don't have a mouse/keyboard i'm stuck.  Any linux application suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for the information will look into and let you know how I get on.

Which platform are you running this on? RetroFE uses the gstreamer library with plugins, which should be the latest version on any Linux or Mac system. On Windows it uses the libraries included in the release, which are certainly not the latest. I need to do an upgrade in that area; some of the releases that use RetroFE as a base have already done so.

you used variable videotype="video.mp4" ?
if you used coinops retrofe Fork, you need this.
