Windows XBMC crashes when XBOX-controller disconnects

Mister Negative · 2012-06-06 17:57

My install is still working correctly after testing it some more. I am not using Xpadder or any other middle layer software.

Prior to this nightly I was using the "No-init" version another user uploaded. I upgraded to this nightly right over it.

So glad to see progress being made on this. I recently installed a permanent HTPC in my living room and threw emulators and the lot on there with my wireless 360 controllers to play with friends. I use pinnacle game profiler to control xbmc with the controller and back out of games, etc. but the crashes were so annoying. I hope soon we'll have a solution, especially because I don't even use xbmc with the controller since I have pinnacle.

Had this problem earlier, and my XBMC crashed. I just installed the nightly build tonight and have tested it. XBMC no longer crashes, or loses connection with the controller. However, I did lose the scrolling functionality. Pressing the LT and RT does nothing now. Is there a way to fix this?

Try a upcoming nightly (08.06.2012). The axis were wrong enumerated. Dunno if it solves your issue but worth to try out.

How can I navigate inside XBMC with the controller? The buttons work fine and I also can tunr the volume up and down (after the axis fix) but I can't navigate. Do I have to change anything in the xml beside the name? Smile

Had the same problems with the old joystick code so didn't care until now ...

grr just noticed that XINPUT is preferred for the x360 controller. For DirectInput the trigger buttons only act as one. Stupid M$! I won't rewrite the code to use XINPUT just for that. Even don't know if other controllers would work with it.

for the trigger buttons:

Code:

<axis limit="+1" id="2">ScrollUp</axis>

<axis limit="-1" id="2">ScrollDown</axis>

To navigate, you probably need to use the hat:

Code:

<hat id="1" position="up">Up</hat>

<hat id="1" position="down">Down</hat>

<hat id="1" position="left">Left</hat>

<hat id="1" position="right">Right</hat>

Another victim of this reporting in.
I tried the latest nightly and the problem seems to be fixed. Will this be backported to Eden or is more work required?
