Fix Xbox 360 controller support

Yes, left stick should say "Scan Forward and Back" on both images. It's good, because you're able to seek on anything that's currently playing while in any menu. Fast scroll is handled by the triggers. Additionally, second image should be called Video Playback, as the dpad and shoulders do different things when playing music full screen. However, we could make the dpad in Visualization match the dpad settings in the full screen video section to avoid confusion and simplify the control scheme.

Edit: Japaja, yes, please link to the custom drivers. I would like to see how it changes the bindings, though the default keymap shouldn't be based around them.

Clearly, the keymap is going to need some more minor updates on github. Fixing the images now.

Alrighty, edited with hopefully the correct info. See post above.

Flawless now. I updated the parent post with links to the helpful images you made.

My Xbox controller is listed as:

in xbmc.log

But in lsusb it is listed as "Microsoft Corp. Xbox360 Controller".

Adding "Microsoft X-Box 360 pad" to the mappings worked.

I have already fixed it for anyone interested: http://pastebin.com/sQiq90xX

OK, played with it and have to say after some tweaking it works great! You can play with everything and yes that includes the xbox guide button. So here is the link to custom drivers. Follow the instructions and if you have any questions just ask. http://www.jonnys-place.com/index.php?topic=10495.0

Japaja: That 3rd party driver on a foreign language page via a short underground thread doesn't seem very mainstream. It's safe to say a tiny minority use that driver. The bigger concern here is about the default drivers for the controller on other operating systems. It's good to know it's theoretically possible to map the guide button, though.

pizzadude: Good catch. I updated my pastebin in the parent post with that new device name to v1.96. The github will need it as well, once da-anda notices this.

Not sure what you assumed, but I didn't put this up in hope everyone would install it and use. It is definitely not for everyone, but for those people that like to tweak things, get rid of strange limitations put by manufactures and use the equipment to it's full potential. BTW you did ask me to give you a link so that's what I did.

That is fine. I don't see the problem and agree you should continue to improve your already excellent keymap. Also I think it's best to open a new thread if there is interest in discussing this third-party driver.

Yes, thank you for sharing. I was curious if it was possible. There was no issue and did not mean to imply one. I was just assessing the likelihood of that driver being in use. I was mainly interested in seeing the driver in hopes to find out why the Guide button was listed in the original github. They wouldn't put that in there for no reason. There must be a driver on some system that maps to that, right?

Well except for the xbox 360 console where it has a few different functions/uses it appears to have some roles in Games for Windows LIVE, but AFAIK that's it.
