Changes to controllers in Kodi 15-beta? - SwedishGojira - 2015-05-29

I tried to install the Kodi 15 beta from repository a few days ago but had to go back to 14.2 because the controller was working very strange.

I control Kodi with my wired Xbox 360 pad and run xboxdrv for that. I have it set up so I control the volume with my right thumbstick, UP=volume+
DOWN=volume- but after installing Kodi 15 beta suddenly both directions end up lowering the volume.

Have something changed in Kodi 15 regarding controllers? All other buttons seem to work as they should.

Bump!
Nobody have any information regarding this?

Can you get us a debug log (wiki) of when this happens?

Ive no xpad to test but something did change https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/6777

Same issue here.

The right thumbstick (by default) would have changed the volume with up or down. It now lowers the volume when I move the thumbstick up or down, and increases the volume when I move the stick left or right.

I have no third party software installed for the 360 remote, its a windows 8.1 machine running Kodi 15 2, happened on rc1 one also.

Any ideas? I'll add a debug log later tonight when I'm back home.

Edit: I do apologize, I got to this post from Google, and didn't notice it falls under Linux.

well, the keymap for the 360 controller suggests stick up=volume up, stick down=volume down.
Code:
<!-- Push up on the right stick for volueme up. Push down for volume down. -->
      <axis id="5" limit="-1">VolumeUp</axis>
      <axis id="5" limit="+1">VolumeDown</axis>
      <axis id="4" limit="-1">VolumeDown</axis>
      <axis id="4" limit="+1">VolumeUp</axis>

see /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/joystick.Microsoft.Xbox.360.Controller.xml for more details.

So, we need to see a Debug Log

Same issue here, debug log below:

http://xbmclogs.com/psu5daaup

I held down the up stick until the volume hit 0 and I got the mute icon, then left to increase the volume, down to decrease it, and finally right to increase it again.

Edit: Oops, didn't notice that this is under the Linux forum. However this behavior does seem to happen under Windows too.

Nothing extra to add i just want to confirm that i am also getting the problem, summary says kodi 15.0 compiled: july 21 2015.


RE: Changes to controllers in Kodi 15-beta? - Ned Scott - 2015-08-04

Yep, people are looking into it.

Moved thread to general OS forum.

Same issue here with Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2. Tested with two different Rumblepads. Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but pressing right on the dpad (StepForward) used to skip 30 seconds instantly, now it skips 20 seconds and kind of wavers between 19 and 20 for a second and then plays.


RE: Changes to controllers in Kodi 15-beta? - Ned Scott - 2015-08-20

This should be fixed in the upcoming v15.2 bugfix release.


RE: Changes to controllers in Kodi 15-beta? - moon5 - 2015-10-21

hi,

there is still a problem with Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 (in my case: after start of Kodi the volume is set to 0)
Yesterday i updated to kodi - 15.2~git20151019.1039-final-0trusty.
The Problem ist similar to the version 15.0 and 15.1
With the Version Kodi 15.2 rc3 was the support of the controller significantly better (but little bugs was present ...).

I use as OS Kodibuntu (formerly Helix 14.0).

By the way, the Support of the Xbox360 Controller is since the Version 15.2 Final once more very good.
