lmce-usb-gamep 2.0.0.45.13020

For the sake of completeness I checked version on my hybrid and three media directors where I have gameplayer running.  I also performed:

apt-get update
apt-get install lmce-usb-gamepad

This returned that I had the most current version.

My work around as I said basically kills all orbiter remote functionality by disabling and removing its keymapping.  Here are some environmental variables that may be helpful.

Install method for gameplayer:  Select gameplayer from web-admin>media directors>edit modules?>checkbox>save>close>reload router.  Gameplayer-plugin is unassigned to a room so I put it in the room with the hybrid since it is category 'controlled by dcerouter'

Install method for usb-gamepad:  Plug it in, gamepad detection picks it up within a few seconds, use as an orbiter remote is automagic, open gameplayer and individually map buttons for each system the way I like them (ie, 1 button consoles using the bottom button, 2 buttons using top and right, genesis using left, top, right, etc)

Connections:  Gamepads are disconnected when not in use,  typically connected after a game is initiated via orbiter.

Equipment variables: 
LivingRoom MD - MSI P45-Neo3 w/ usb-uirt 0056, gyration 'fiire clone' dongle, cm15a & occasionally a generic USB keyboard making up lsusb. 
Den MD - Revo R1600 (mem upgraded, hdd ignored) w/ occasional USB mouse or USB keyboard on lsusb.
Desk MD (hybrid/core) - Asus M4A785TD-M EVO w/ USB keyboard, USB mouse full time

lsusb -v from Revo when connected: Sidewinder & GameFoundry (unused hub info removed)

I saw the notice.  I consider what I am proposing would be personal use, I am just having dcerouter/mythtv pull this information off my personal browser for me on my behalf, for my use.

I have no problem contacting SiliconDust for written permission but wont waste their time if I am not able to actually do what I am asking to do.  Maybe it is the exception to the rule but I have found that requests such as this are granted most times, even more so when you are not asking them for any new information. 

So again, I think the information is there and could be fairly easy to access but I am not capable of writing this and getting it into the initial mythtv build that lmce does.  If someone is interested in assisting me I will take care of the permissions and do as instructed with the coding.

So, I was trying to work with Ruby to write drivers for my components at home only to discover that the Ruby editor is, well, horrible. I fixed it so that it resizes to your window size and worked with that until I discovered the actual editor didn't work properly and I replaced it with ACE. I attached files to ticket #1752 if someone wants to put that into the repository or play around with it themselves.

I also used a CDN to source my Javascript for fewer attached files but if those files should be included, then I'll pull those and attach them as well. Let me know.

Same here. Get an answer but no data.

Is the dianemo website down? I'm unable to access. Thanks.

Everything is A-OK now :-) Thanks for the help, guys.

maverick0815, so what was the problem .

Hi Folks,
Please can we close this issue

Sean, just edit the first post subject line to add a [resolved] on the end so others know. You should have permissions to edit your own posts.

Hate to be a party pooper:

This webpage is for personal web browser use only. For programmatic or commercial use please contact info@silicondust.com

To get the version, go to the commandline and dpkg -l lmce-usb-gamepad

Ok, that is a very strange bug, that should never happen. Can you tell me the version of the lmce-usb-gamepad package that you have ?
