How do you setup RetroArch PC Netplay?

#1

Can’t find a tutorial anywhere on the net. Any help appreciated.

Q: When I have Netplay enabled it says “movie recording started cannot start netplay”. How do I stop that from happening?

#2

That’s odd. Last time I tried it was before using lakka, and it was pretty straightforward and that didn’t happen. Maybe you’re trying it on a not netplay supported core?

#3

Based on that error, you should probably double-check that all of the recording options are disabled.

#4

Have you managed to fix this? A friend and I have the same issue and really can’t figure it out.

We’ve even looked through the code on Github and believe it has something to do with BSV recording. BSV recording can’t work side by side with save states, which are required for RetroArch netplay.

#ifdef HAVE_NETPLAY
static void init_netplay(void)
{
   if (!g_extern.netplay_enable)
      return;

#ifdef HAVE_BSV_MOVIE
   if (g_extern.bsv.movie_start_playback)
   {
      RARCH_WARN("Movie playback has started. Cannot start netplay.

"); return; } #endif

We have no recording features enabled. We even tried 1.21 and 1.2 to see if it was a weird bug with 1.22, but nope. Still happens.

#5

I’m not having any issues with it here. Have you tried it with a clean config?

#6

Yes, I have.

#7

I have the exact same problem, and I’ve tried everything I can think of.

Did anyone figure out how to fix this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#8

I am having the same issue with 2 brand new setups of 1.2.2. Tried to do the netplay with both the MAME Git and Snes9x cores. Checked all the recording options and they’re disabled, as I hadn’t even touched them. Literally downloaded 1.2.2 fresh from buildbot, set up directories, keymapping, and netplay, tried and got this result.

Is there a list of netplay-supported cores somewhere?

If the core supports savestates it supports replay. I don’t have any issues, even in android vs android

Thank you for your quick reply, although I find that funny about the Android version. On my Samsung Galaxy Note II every single menu entry disappears when you scroll down. It’s unusable. I tried the APK for a recent nightly build and same result. Not to go OT but is there a known fix for this, or do you not have this issue?

I don’t have that issue, seems to be exclusive to note devices
