[HowTo] Use Gamepads to control MediaPortal

[vasvas]

i have the xbox wireless controller working almost perfectly.... mp config makes it real easy to setup,
i just have to glitches, one is that when i press the button to select an item it sometimes double clicks, and the other is that if i dont turn the wireless controller on before media portal it wont detect it(Cause its wireless and windoews needs to detect it) is there any way to edit mp to always detect it even if i sont get it in first ??

cheers to all

Detection of DirectInput devices while MP is running is not possible, it think.
I don't expect any updates for the inbuilt part of DirectInput control.

But and-81 has done a great work with it's irserver suite. here is the forum: MCE Replacement Plugin - MediaPortal Forum
And he plans to support DirectInput in future: http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mc...equests-33468/
So we "just" have to wait for it.
I am not up to date with his latest changes.
