Recalbox Manager 2.0

Its maybe a way to implement it?, thats comes with virtual "Keyboard, Mouspad and Gamepad" for use in our phones.

Thanks! 😃 Amazing... i have instaled batocera and works fantastic.

it's virtualgamepads that comes with all that.
rmanager is a web interface. i more think to remove it while i don't know people using it or finding it usefull.
It takes a lot of time to compile, takes space, and is a potentially dangerous opened door.
I more think to remove it in later versions.
Can you tell me why you use it ? the cpu usage for example is not an argument in my mind while this is not what batocera is done for, and for technical people, in case of debugging, top does the job.

I use virtual gamepad for multiplay. And the touch for kodi mouse

Hey @nadenislamarre I know this feature may be bad for a lot of things, but sometimes is useful to have "in hands" functions while playing.

If ES freezes, I can easily get my phone and browse to Recalbox Manager and reboot ES or check something, without having to type long strings in SSH (actually, it's horrible to type anything long in touchscreen).

If Recalbox Manager is that dangerous, isn't there a way to have some easy buttons to "start/stop/restart" ES and some other cool features this manager has?

As I can see this topic is pretty old, and I have JUST installed batocera and as I can see, this manager is not available. Maybe you could take my comment as a desired request and make available some short functions for easy managment. What do you think?

Thank you btw, you and your team (and external developers) are making a great job!

the main problem of recalbox manager is that its not an integrable/external software. it has to be maintained by the team (it is work to be done). i've not found any advantage to it. in case of freeze, just restart the rpi without connecting via ssh, i made it robust to support bad unplug or anything else.
but if you/somebody produce a good work to add something like a manager, but probably more simple and more user friendly, why not (but personnally, i'm not fan, i like to keep things simple).

its good for drag and drop bios (and check it) or roms. More friendly than access on file system
