Controller successfully initialized, input actions emitted, but nothing happens

Plex Players Desktop Players

I’m trying to set up my XBox 360 Wireless controller to run Plex Media Player in Windows 10. I’ve created an input map:

  "name": "Xbox Controller",
  "idmatcher": "XInput.*|Microsoft.*joystick driver",
  "mapping": 
  {
    // A
    "KEY_BUTTON_0": "enter",

    // B
    "KEY_BUTTON_1": {
      "short": "back",
      "long": "home"
    },

etc.

and it looks like Plex sees the controller:

2020-01-02 08:35:11 [ INFO  ] InputSDL.cpp @ 207 - SDL found  1  joysticks 
2020-01-02 08:35:11 [ INFO  ] InputSDL.cpp @ 216 - JoyStick # 0  is  Microsoft PC-joystick driver  with  10  buttons and  5 axes 
etc.

It seems to be receiving and matching the inputs:

2020-01-02 08:40:34 [ DEBUG ] InputComponent.cpp @ 160 - Input received: source: "Microsoft PC-joystick driver" keycode: "KEY_BUTTON_0" : InputBase::InputkeyState(KeyDown) 
2020-01-02 08:40:34 [ DEBUG ] InputComponent.cpp @ 229 - Emit input action: ("enter") 
2020-01-02 08:37:08 [ DEBUG ] InputComponent.cpp @ 160 - Input received: source: "Microsoft PC-joystick driver" keycode: "KEY_BUTTON_1" : InputBase::InputkeyState(KeyUp) 
2020-01-02 08:37:08 [ DEBUG ] InputComponent.cpp @ 180 - "Emit input action (short):" "back"

But nothing actually happens in Plex Media Player! What am I missing?

Server Version#: 1.18.3.2156-349e9837e
Player Version#: Version 3.104.2

EDIT: Figured it out, these commands only do anything in TV mode, not “mouse mode” or whatever the other one is.
