Restart emulation station (osmc)

Help and Support
1

hi all,

  1. osmc configured and working well.
  2. retrosmc/emulators all fine
  3. using retropie launch script without issue to launch emulationstation etc

issue: if I try to restart emulation station from within emulations, it doesnt restart. it goes back to kodi/osmc.
logs reveal a simple: "lvl2: EmulationStation cleanly shutting down.
" nothing further. shutdown is working fine, but would be good to know whether the restart works under osmc or not

have begun to debug emulationstation from CLI to include debug and additional logging if possible, but would like to know whether I should continue or whether this is a known problem?

thanks a lot for your time.

Hi. Restarting es from its menu will not work unfortunately.
This is because of the script that detects if es is running and if it doesn’t, restarts Kodi.

The menu of es could be altered not to have other options than quit but that would mean to ship a different version than the retropie one and makes this more problematic to maintain.

hi, thanks for the explanation and reply.
yes, I saw the default script and was wondering how it was all going to work.
ended-up trying to debug it but nothing new there … cheers and thanks again.
