[quote=94090]i thought it’s not about retropie/emulationstation but about raspbmc… i think there’s an issue with kodi in raspbmc… !? hopefully this will get fixed soon. there seems to be a lot of confusion about this topic as well [/quote]

I Think you mean Raspbian ;-)
And thats the context where i found the script above that im unable to get to work :-( but it seems like a easy fix if i just would know how to get emulationstation killed and restarted. It wont fix the source problem but it would be a great workaround i think
