I installed Retropie 4.0 on a Raspberry 3 and everything went really smooth. Being the Media Center a core part of the plan I installed Kodi from optional repos, no problem at all.

Everything nice once again except the fact that in Kodi pads are completely wild (right goes down, left goes up).

Therefore I think I need to change something with its mapping.

As far as I've understood if I use: cat /proc/bus/input/devices

I should find my pad / joystick name: I: Bus=0003 Vendor=045e Product=0719 Version=0100 N: Name="Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver"

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=045e Product=0719 Version=0100 N: Name="Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver"

The next and final step is not entirely clear...

I think I need to find a good xml and paste it with the correct name found above in the right folder.

I have tried but the pad is still acting "crazy": 

  Controller (PittoruleXBOX 360)
  Select
  Back
  FullScreen
  ContextMenu

What am I doing wrong? I'd expect the pad to stop going in one direction automatically, at least...

Thanks for your time and patience.

I have a work in progress fix for this!

Make sure to backup /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/joystick.Microsoft.Xbox.360.Controller.xml

then put this file in /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/ with the name joystick.Microsoft.Xbox.360.Controller.xml

download from here: http://pastebin.com/8EdGdawL

I am having the same issue as you. I've re-mapped with a correct joystick.xml file with the same symptoms.

I had to change the settings in KODI to disable the controller input. I use the Yatse Android app to control KODI now. I would like to see a resolution to this issue too.

Thanks for posting.
