Windows - joystick control

[3dh]

Can I use a joypad in SMPlayer?

Thanks for the help.

If the joystick simulates keystrokes, then maybe.

Now I use the "logitech profiler", but this is not the best solution. Sometimes when you turn on/off the fullscreen option, gamepad stops working. It's not the fault of the controller, because I have no problems with it in other cases.

I found a file in mplayer which says something about the use gamepad.
...\SMPlayer\mplayer\mplayer\input.conf

## Joystick section
## WARNING: joystick support has to be explicitly enabled at
## compiletime with --enable-joystick
##

JOY_RIGHT seek 10
JOY_LEFT seek -10
JOY_UP seek 60
JOY_DOWN seek -60
...

Why it does not work?

There is a chance that in the future will be full support for gamepad?

It seems mplayer has its own support for joystick. It you enable the option to run mplayer in its own windows (preferences -> advanced) maybe you can use. However I have no idea if that would work since I don't have any joystick to test.

preferences -> advanced -> mplayer/mpv -> options:--enable-joystick

Unknown option on the command line: --enable-joystick

Joystick support is only available in Linux & FreeBSD (as far as MPV is concerned their docs state it is entirely removed).

Gamepad used as a remote control for PC is a useful thing. Maybe in the new version of SMPlayer you add support for gamepad.

Thanks.

Have you checked if SMPlayer can detect the keystrokes of the gamepad?
Go to preferences -> keyboard and edit any action, press some keys in the gamepad and see if SMPlayer detects them (be sure the "capture" option is on).

Yes, I checked. I set there a couple of shortcuts on the keyboard, but the gamepad does not react.
