Future.png FUTURE Krypton FEATURE:
This page or section describes features that are a future part of the Kodi v17 release, codename "Krypton". For more information see development builds.

The PlayStation 4 controller has a quirk that interferes with controller configuration. Specifically, each trigger sends both a digital button value and an analog axis value.

Symptoms

Because two values are sent to Kodi, the configuration utility will appear to "skip" a button after a trigger is pressed.

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. In this case, the trigger can't be mapped at all! Simply cancel the dialog and try again.
