frong 2 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I like to play a show in the background while I'm playing certain games with my Xbox-controller on PC. However it's impossible to use Emby due to the controller controlling Emby even though it's not in focus and the game is in fullscreen. Is there any way to prevent this or simply disable the controller function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hi there, what Emby app are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frong 2 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hi there, what Emby app are you using? I'm on Windows 10 and I've tried using both through the browser and Emby Theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frong 2 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Is there really no simple solution for not letting a controller control Emby..? Uh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Are you running the latest version of Emby Theater, 3.0.10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frong 2 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Are you running the latest version of Emby Theater, 3.0.10? I'm running 3.0.8 on the computer with the xbox controller. However, it's acts the same in all browsers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frong 2 Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Very annoying since I often watch videos while playing certain games. Now I have to watch Youtube instead of my series in Plex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 When you say it's not in focus, what do you mean by that? Is it minimized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frong 2 Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) When you say it's not in focus, what do you mean by that? Is it minimized? I have the game on one screen, in focus, and Emby on monitor #2 either in a browser or Emby Theater. The problem seems to go back to 2016: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/34474-disable-xbox-controller/ https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/48675-disable-xbox-360-gamepad-in-emby/ So I guess it's not a priority, weird.

frong 2 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Still no way to disable an Xbox-controller to act as a remote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'm sorry that this issue has lasted so long. Would you mind testing something. If you minimize the browser window, does this still happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frong 2 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'm sorry that this issue has lasted so long. Would you mind testing something. If you minimize the browser window, does this still happen? It does not Pause/Play when then window is minimized. It always does when it's not, no matter if another fullscreen application is focused or not etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 So you're saying that if it's minimized there's no problem, right? What about if you have another browser tab on top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Did you have a chance to try that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frong 2 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Did you have a chance to try that? Sorry, I missed that answer. If I have another tab open it doesn't Pause/Play neither. So, the xbox-controller only controls Emby if it's not minimized and if that that is focused. Do you want me to record testing the different scenarios or something?

Luke 37071 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Ok please try restarting Emby Theater and seeing if it's still the same. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution frong 2 Posted August 11, 2019 Author Solution Share Posted August 11, 2019 Ok please try restarting Emby Theater and seeing if it's still the same. Thanks. I just tried with Emby running in the browser, and it seems to work to use the controller now while keeping the window out of focus. Great stuff. Thanks for the support!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
