The PlayStation 4 controller has a quirk where triggers send both a digital button press and an analog value. This causes problems when mapping triggers in the controller window.
The steps here are also documented in the article HOW-TO:Fix buttons skipped while mapping.
Symptoms
When a trigger is pressed, Kodi immediately skips the following button:
Skipping solution
A utility has been provided to ignore the extra input. Select "Ignore input":
When the dialog opens, it will ask you to press the buttons that should be ignored:
Press each trigger LIGHTLY until the button is displayed. Release the trigger as soon as the button shows up.
If you continue pressing the trigger after the button is detected, it will ignore the axis too. In this case, the trigger can't be mapped at all! Simply cancel the dialog and try again.
Once Kodi knows to ignore the digital button presses, the trigger's analog values can be mapped successfully.
