Xbox 360 Gamepad doesn't work properly

[DAEMON]

Only zoom and tilt plus the A button seems to work. When using the stand alone version all the controls work including recentering and seeking through the video etc.

Controls are listed there but they dont all work.

Any ideas?

Hello,
Sorry about that. We are currently working on customizable controllers and it's our main priority at the moment. Hopefully we can release the fix soon.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I really enjoy the player thats just the main issue I have with it now.

Also would it be possible to add the current time to the pause menu? I find I often need to leave the video to check what the time is so it would be useful to see the time inside your program.

So where are we on this? This used to be the best VR player, it had it all controls one could imagine on the gamepad. Your Store Page on Steam is still listing them: pan, zoom, playback speed, etc., all those disappeared from some reason. The "King of the Hill" became just "meh" ;). It's been months since it is allegedly in some mythical to-do list, can we still expect to see at least these 3 features be mapped back onto the controller while VR is still a thing?

If you need to make a pay-for version to map these 3 functions back onto the gamepad, as far as I'm concerned, do it.

Hey. Controllers should work. You also have in the top right corner of file browser option to switch button actions. You mentioned standalone version. What do you mean by that? Are you using Oculus Rift?

Yes I saw the controller setup window, and love the possibility to change my gamepad settings, it's just that some options do not work even though they are listed there.

Functions that do not work:

• Zoom Video/Player (not sure about the difference). Does nothing on the default Right Thumbstick X, and nothing if I redefine it to RT Y for instance.
  
• Change Height on the DPad
  
• There used to be 2 Seek controls, one on the DPad, this one works, and a larger one on the Left Thumbstick. This one disappeared from the contoller setup altogether.

Here is the controller setup from your page from like a year ago: https://i.postimg.cc/W3jPk8br/Controller.png (too lazy too go hunt for it again, I suspect it's gone anyway). That's what I was referring to as "standalone" version, i.e. before it got integrated into Steam. I still have the old DeoRift and DeoVive, before the A-B stuff and other refinements, but the above functions are still working on the gamepad when I start them.

As to my controllers, they can't be more standard: wired genuine MS Xbox 360 and wireless Xbox One gamepads. All the axis and buttons are working, I've just flown a chopper in Ghost Recon Wildlands with the XBox One one. It's not even a question of axis not working. I have Tilt on RT Y by default, and it is tilting the view. I remove Tilt from the axis (the small trashcan button) and set RT Y to Zoom. No zooming happens.

First, sorry for a late reply. I was on vacation for the past week and did not answer any of requests here. I have tested it again and it works just fine. I am also using Xbox standard controller. To zoom the video moving right thumbstick left and right did the trick. Zooming player you need to first press A button on UI and move left thumbstick left and right. Change height also worked. Left and right on D-pad worked as seek function. Yes we removed seeking with thumbstick.

I will let my colleagues know regarding this features as well.

I don't know what to say. The OP @DAEMON and I are both having the same problem: no zoom and no height change on the xbox360 wired nor XB1 wireless gamepads (the seek issue is known apparently). Reprogramming Zoom onto another control does not work either. Most users probably only found DeoVR on Steam and never knew it was supposed to have zoom and height change, hence the lack of feedback, probably.

If I close the Steam version of DeoVR and launch an old one from the Oculus Store, File Version 5.4.1.60163, Product Version 5.4.1.12184323, dated 2016/10/07 19:27, everything is working. So I know it is not my controllers that are broken.

Are you sure you are testing with the Steam version through SteamVR and not the Oculus Store one?

Hi,

Yes I am testing on SteamVR version since we have 3 different PC headsets.I did tests on Vive Pro and WMR. Also versions should be the same on SteamVR or Oculus. We are also working on updating the player "completely" so perhaps that might change the behaviour as well.
