configuring a playstation1 controller - mat0738 - 2010-11-21
hey,
I'm having trouble configuring a psx controller to navigate in xbmc. I created a file ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/psx-controller.xml containing :
Code:
<keymap>
<global>
<joystick name="Dual USB Vibration Joystick">
<button id="3">Select</button>
<button id="2">ParentDir</button>
<button id="1">Queue</button>
<button id="4">FullScreen</button>
<button id="8">ContextMenu</button>
<button id="9">PreviousMenu</button>
<button id="12">XBMC.ActivateWindow(ShutdownMenu)</button>
<button id="10">XBMC.ActivateWindow(PlayerControls)</button>
<axis id="2" limit="+1">VolumeDown</axis>
<axis id="2" limit="-1">VolumeUp</axis>
<axis id="4" limit="+1">AnalogSeekForward</axis>
<axis id="4" limit="-1">AnalogSeekBack</axis>
<axis id="5" limit="-1">Left</axis>
<axis id="5" limit="1">Right</axis>
<axis id="6" limit="-1">Up</axis>
<axis id="6" limit="1">Down</axis>
</joystick>
</global>
</keymap>the controllers (there is two) are recognize:
Quote:$ cat xbmc.log | grep -i USB
22:22:48 T:3019474736 M:340013056 NOTICE: Enabled Joystick: Dual USB Vibration Joystick
22:22:48 T:3019474736 M:340025344 NOTICE: Enabled Joystick: Dual USB Vibration Joystick
the psx-controller.xml is loaded:
Quote:$ cat xbmc.log | grep psx
22:40:56 T:3019589424 M:326762496 INFO: Loading special://masterprofile/keymaps/psx-controller.xml
22:40:56 T:3019589424 M:326762496 INFO: Loading special://profile/keymaps/psx-controller.xml
when pressing button/axis nothing happens, it said that "Joystick button ids of connected joysticks appear in xbmc.log when they are pressed." but nothing appears (debug is on).
I tried "remote send keyboard keys" option even if i'm not sure it's related => no changes.
cat /dev/input/js0 and cat /dev/input/js1 produce output when pressing buttons.
any idea why no button ids appears in log?

well, I don't really know why but it almost works.
new psx-controller.xml :
Code:
<keymap>
<global>
<joystick name="Dual USB Vibration Joystick">
<button id="1">PreviousMenu</button> <!--triangle-->
<button id="2">ContextMenu</button> <!--circle-->
<button id="3">Select</button> <!--cross-->
<button id="4">ParentDir</button> <!--square-->
<button id="5">VolumeDown</button> <!--L2-->
<button id="6">VolumeUp</button> <!--R2-->
<button id="7">SkipPrevious</button> <!--L1-->
<button id="8">SkipNext</button> <!--R1-->
<button id="9">ShowSubtitles</button> <!--select-->
<button id="10"></button> <!---->
<button id="11"></button> <!---->
<button id="12">OSD</button> <!--start-->
<axis id="1" limit="+1"></axis> <!--left-->
<axis id="1" limit="-1"></axis> <!--right-->
<axis id="2" limit="+1"></axis> <!--down-->
<axis id="2" limit="-1"></axis> <!--up-->
<hat id="1" position="left">Left</hat>
<hat id="1" position="right">Right</hat>
<hat id="1" position="up">Up</hat>
<hat id="1" position="down">Down</hat>
</joystick>
</global>
<FullscreenVideo>
<joystick name="Dual USB Vibration Joystick">
<button id="2">Info</button> <!--circle-->
<button id="3">Pause</button> <!--cross-->
<button id="4">Stop</button> <!--square-->
</joystick>
</FullscreenVideo>

</keymap>the jhat hack [1] is needed. someone know if I should open a bug for this? (ie: is it fixable?)
