Controller issue in KODI

[bolle]

Hey everyone,
Now that we've come to the stage of fixing things on "single game basis" ( Thanks for the Fifa 16 fix guys) I want to emphasise the misbehaviour of Kodi using the Xbox360 controller. Until the native Kodi app is working ( THANKS SLOUKEN for doing this ) a quick fix for the Windows-Kodi Version would be great.
The only way to use it in a usable way right now is to minimize BP which will trigger Mouse+ KB emulation and then start Kodi from the desktop. Starting directly from BP has all the inputs messed up.
Hopefully this is fixable. Thanks and have a nice day.
(By the way I'm running Win10)

I believe there are two temporary solutions. NOT 100% sure tho
1) if you using wireless and are close enough to the pc just plug the dongle into the pc
2) if you are not close enough or are using wired set up VirtualHere

Do not quote me on either as I do not use Kodi

Hello bolle, I don't know if you have already solved this issue, but I found a solution. The issue is not related to Steam Link, but rather to Kodi's joystick support. I've been able to fix the joystick support in Kodi by modifying the default joystick keymap configuration.

Steps (On windows):
* Locate Kodi's keymap files - C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\system\keymaps
* Move out all joystick*.xml files and the gamepad.xml
* Edit the joystick.xml file and remove the 4 lines that match this regex: "<axis.*Volume.*</axis>"

<axis id="3" trigger="true" limit="+1">VolumeDown</axis> 		<!-- Left Trigger -->
<axis id="6" trigger="true" limit="-1">VolumeUp</axis> 		<!-- Right Trigger -->
<axis id="3" trigger="true" rest="-32768">VolumeDown</axis> 	<!-- Left Trigger -->
<axis id="6" trigger="true" rest="-32768">VolumeUp</axis> 	<!-- Right Trigger -->

This lines break the D-Pad control somehow.

The second step may not be necessary, but I haven't checked.

Hey bud, I'm not finding the lines you've quoted? I found joystick.xml.sample, renamed it, not finding those lines. There was no joystick.xml, only the sample version.
