I'm looking for a solution to using RetroArch in Kodibuntu without the gamepad wreaking havoc with Kodi in the background.
When running RetroArch via Advanced Launcher I need Kodi to stop processing the gamepad input. Doing a bit of googling, I came upon a solution that should solve my problem: scripting to toggle gamepad support in kodi! The problem with this is when toggling gamepad support, even via the gui settings, an error is logged when disabling it
I have tried kodi 14.2 and a 15.0 build, as well as using ubuntu 14.04 and 15.04. I suspect this is an SDL or some other library issue. I plan on trying to compile the latest SDL2 for Ubuntu 14.04 and see if that helps.
Any ideas? i'd be happy if I could just get RetroArch to work without kodi being an input hog, but I guess this issue is something you all would want to be aware of anyway.
