@Raytestrak You need a udev rule to disable/enable xbmc's joystick support as a workaround , although there is a bug in xbmc 13 and for me the controller stops working after media playback (it has to do with SDL + auto refresh rate switching and appears to be fixed in helix).

@boe2 not sure what's up, that's strange as the correct driver is being loaded...

@boe2 not sure what's up, that's strange as the correct driver is being loaded...

Same here. Multiple LEDs.

Code:

filename:       /lib/modules/3.13.0-35-generic/updates/dkms/xpad.ko

and

Code:

[    4.478164] xpad: module verification failed: signature and/or  required key missing - tainting kernel

I just rebooted my HTPC and turned on the controller while xbmc is starting and now I have one led. Dmesg and modinfo are the same.

Hi I decided to rebuild and update to the newest xbmc. This was one of the features I wanted to get running first and have been having problems. It ran fine on version 12 for me.

I installed via the zip file and like a previous user received an error when trying to launch.

I checked to see if there were any missing files like mentioned in the other users case and all 4 files were located in the appropriate place.

Here is the log info for the error.

What happens when you run the following from a command prompt?

Code:

cscript //B //Nologo "C:\Users\Media Center\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.steam.launcher\scripts\La​unchHidden.vbs" "C:\Users\Media Center\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.steam.launcher\scripts\St​eamLauncher-AHK.exe" "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" "C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe" "1" "false" "false" "false"

Im sorry im not that familiar with xbmc outside of the gui. Do you mean from windows command prompt or from within the command line? Also I tried bringing up the command line like i use to I thought it was ctrl+alt+f1 but that did nothing.

Thanks for your quick reply and help

[teeedubb]

Paste that command into the windows command prompt. I'm not at a PC but from memory open the start menu and type in cmd, then hit enter to open a command prompt.

[fleetingyouth]

Thanks just wasnt sure if you meant something within XBMC

Nothing happens and I dont get any error within the cmd prompt

[teeedubb]

Hmmm.. Can you try

Code:

"C:\Users\Media Center\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.steam.launcher\scripts\La​​unchHidden.vbs" "C:\Users\Media Center\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.steam.launcher\scripts\St​​eamLauncher-AHK.exe" "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" "C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe" "1" "false" "false" "false"

And if that doesn't work:

Code:

"C:\Users\Media Center\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.steam.launcher\scripts\St​​eamLauncher-AHK.exe" "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" "C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe" "1" "false" "false" "false"

Also exactly which version of windows are you using?

[fleetingyouth]

Im running it on Vista home basic. its what I had sitting around unfortunately.

Both come back not recognized as internal or external command.

[teeedubb]

Weird... Going by the log file those files should exist in those locations, I don't know why you would be getting the 'not recognized command...' error. Of you navigate to "C:\Users\Media Center\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.steam.launcher\scripts\" can you rum the ahk exe file by double clicking on it?

Oh and you ran all the commands in one line right?

[fleetingyouth]

If i run the ahk from the file I get "this script requires arguments but it only received 0" dialog.

Thanks for the help so far.

[teeedubb]

OK so the ahk script runs under vista. What if you navigate to the folder via the command line and then run the steam-launcher-ahk.exe file? A stab in the dark but I'm running out of ideas and I don't have a vista machine to test on.

[teeedubb]

Oh and try disabling any antivirus software you might have running.

[fleetingyouth]

ok I tried navigating to the file and it didnt work but I noticed an error in the previous command I copied and pasted I fixed that and it worked. So I went back into xbmc set up the launcher to it own menu item and it seems to be working fine. I have no idea what changed.

Thanks a ton for your effort though.

[teeedubb]

Cool, glad it got sorted.
