I having problem to get the joystick to work, it wont help what ever of “idmatcher”: i have
It stil trowing error like this:

DEBUG - [InputManager] Input received: source: Xbox Series X Controller keycode: KEY_HAT_DOWN:0
Mar 14, 2025 21:19:34.705 [11248] DEBUG - [InputManager] No match for: Xbox Series X Controller

I have tryed following in the idmatcher with out any luck
“idmatcher”: “.box.”,
“idmatcher”: “Xbox."
“idmatcher”: "Xbox Series.”
“idmatcher”: “Xbox Series X”

does anyone have any idea why this wont work at all any more?

Everything after the : and space is the name in the log line. The idmatcher uses regex so you could do Xbox Series X.* and it should match the controller id.

thank you for your reply, here is what i have in the idmatcher

but still no luck on the working part..

and the json file is where is should be

[gbooker02]

Likely it is failing to parse the file you provided. That process is not captured in the tiny portion of the logs you included.

[alfton]

yeah you are right, any tips what is wrong here? I have used one of the file from the template in the default folder that followed plex

[gbooker02]

That means it cannot read the file. Possibly a permissions issue or you made the file unreadable to the app? There are multiple files read but again that’s not captured in the even tinier portion of the logs you included.

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right directions. It was a stupid mistake from my side when i createt the account on windows, I used a special letter in my name ä
that does not compute well in some programs… I createt a new account with only normal letters, and everyting just work again as it should.. Sorry for the noise..
