I would minimize steam and use my steam controller to control my desktop and run VLC player and play the videos.Įver since the new Big Picture updated a few months ago, however, this method does not work so well anymore. It should be in Big Picture's controller section somewhere.Īll of this should also come with the caveat that I haven't used my Steam Link in over a year.So, ever since 2018 i've been using the Steam Link Samsung app to stream VLC movies from my desktop to my Samsung TV via a wired ethernet connection. but basically you just want to make sure that it only treats it like a controller in all cases. I did initially have to indicate in Steam Link / Big Picture that I did not want Steam to automatically configure my controller, as this tends to create problems where it erroneously treats the controller like a keyboard+mouse when you don't want it to, though I did that ages ago and the process for that has changed multiple times since then. In my experience, the only thing I've needed to do is 1) add Big Box as a non-steam application 2) tell Big Box to use "all controllers" in the settings 3) make sure that whatever emulator I'm using uses xinput (which is something that VirtualHere can help get around, in the event that the emulator is dinput only). The Steam Link does feature VirtualHere integration, but I don't use VirtualHere, as I've never needed it. You need to look into a paid steam app called "Virtual Here".
Yep, its a known issue with steam link, it knows that you launched launchbox/bigbox, it doesnt however know that that program then launched another (the emulator). Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can provide. The really frustrating part was that it DID work when I first installed Big Box last night and then stopped for no reason I can discern. It's only when BB is started through SL that it stops recognizing the controller. I should note that if I start Big Box on my PC in Big Picture mode (rather than through the Steam Link), the controller works. However, once Big Box has started, my controllers (Xbox One controller connected to the SL via Bluetooth or Xbox 360 controller with official Microsoft wireless adapter) are not recognized by Big Box for input. I can launch Big Box through my Steam Link just fine. I have Big Box added to Steam as a non-Steam game/shortcut. I know there have been many past threads about issues like this, and I think I have read them all, but I haven't found a solution.
