HOW-TO:Fix stuck analog sticks on v17.0
|
Kodi v17.0 Krypton has a bug where analog sticks get "stuck" when they are first moved. This has been fixed in v17.1.
Cause
Joystick drivers are notoriously bad at handling certain controllers. In particular, many triggers are "stuck" and appear as pressed when they are really unpressed.
Kodi tries to detect these anomalous triggers. However, sometimes a false positive occurs and an analog stick is detected as a stuck trigger. Kodi compensates for this, but now the analog stick becomes stuck!
Solution
To prevent this, when a controller is first seen, you should:
- Press an analog stick slowly
- Then slowly rotate it 90 degrees
If an analog stick gets stuck, you will need to unplug/replug the controller, or restart Kodi. Then perform the above steps.
