xbox 360 controller does not work in kodi
#1
Hi,

I've done research but i cant figure out why my wired xbox 360 controller is not working.

I've visited this forum:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=135871

What i've done to get it to work:
I got the name from the kodi.log and changed it in the downloaded keymapping.xml which i placed in the keymap folder in userdata:

"<joystick name="Controller (Afterglow Gamepad for Xbox 360)">
<altname>Afterglow Gamepad for Xbox 360 (Controller)</altname>
<altname>Controller (Gamepad F310)</altname>
<altname>Controller (Gamepad for Xbox 360)</altname>"

This didnt change anything. To figure out if kodi recieves any input from the controller: yes. When i enable debugging i get output like:
20:13:43 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 value 8
20:13:43 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 hat centered
20:13:43 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 value 8
20:13:43 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 hat centered
20:13:44 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 value 8
20:13:44 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 hat centered
20:13:44 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 value 8
20:13:44 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 hat centered
20:13:44 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 value 8
20:13:44 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 hat centered
20:13:44 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 value 8
20:13:44 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 hat centered
20:13:45 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 value 8
20:13:45 T:4972 DEBUG: Joystick 0 hat 1 hat centered

So as far as i understand: kodi recieves input but does not respond to it.

What to do?

Controller works fine in stream big picture btw.

I'd like to add that when my controller is connected to the pc, the cursor of the mouse dissapears within kodi. Unplugging the controller solves this. So the controller does do something within kodiSmile

Well i got it fixed. I noticed that when i held down my left trigger and set my right thumbstick to left, the volume of xbmc was adjusted, when i set it to top the volume was adjusted as well. So it had to something with the translation of the input was my conclusion. I couldnt find what i did wrong in kodi so i decided to calibrate the joystick in windows once more. This did the trick. Apperantly calibration went so wrong the last time that all the buttons where messef up. Not anymore!!Smile

Still got the issue that kodi cant handle the mouse and controller connected at the same time tho. I'll try to figure that one out as well.

If you only need to use the xbox controller, you can disable mouse support
system>input devices
