Full Version: Plugin Controller after Kodi is started?

Hi,

i'm playing with Kodi 18.1 game support atm.

My Server in my livingroom runs kodi as default app as my wife and i are watching tv and movies only with kodi. Now that i got the time to play a bit with the game support, i realized that i have to restart Kodi each time i plugin a new controller, or unplug / replug a controller.

Is this a known "Issue" or can i do something to change this behaviour? My Kodi User is in the goups "wheel uucp locate lock network video audio optical input users steamcontroller plugdev kodi" and i'm running on Arch Linux with Slim as Login Manager and OpenBox (only starting kodi instantly).

I use OpenBox instead of Kodi-standalone, is because i'm using Guake to spawn a terminal and have a running Window Manager to be able to run other apps.
