Installed Kodi 17beta6. Ran Kodi. Dialog popped up asking me to configure new controller. Didn’t press anything; dialog went away on its own.
Now, apparently, my webcam is configured (. . . ish) to be a controller, and is sending hell of random signals to Kodi. Interface is unusable; the webcam is too busy sending controller signal gibberish for anything I do to work.
- Webcam: HP Deluxe Webcam KQ246AA (complete with microphone; perhaps ambient noise is picked up by the mic, then sent as a controller signal?)
- Webcam Driver Version: 10.0.14393.82 (from Microsoft)
I had to split up the debug log & try to find relevant sections. It was too large for pastebin because there are SO MANY lines of webcam signal. Apologies if I missed something good or added something extraneous.
Debug Log pt 1, where (presumably) we see Kodi realize about a thousand times that webcams don’t have many buttons:
Debug Log pt 2, where the webcam is initialized as a gamepad:
Debug Log pt 3, where the webcam (or its microphone, more likely) sends about eight bajillion controller signals:
The obvious solution for me is to unplug my webcam, and I have. Works like a charm. It’d be nice if you fine folks figured out why this might happen, then prevented it in future releases.
