I've been using a USB xBox controller on a Dell G3-15 laptop to control NDI cameras. I use the xBox template provided, and most of the time it works fine. But some days I boot up, start vmix with a known good configuration and the controller is basically dead. I have to reboot the laptop.
I've tried unplugging and replugging the controller. It lights up and Windows recognizes it, but VMIX does not seem to.
Is there a way to reset this input on the fly, or to confirm whether the problem is with VMIX, Windows, or something else?
I have tried different controllers and different USB ports on the laptop.
Thanks.
-Jim

-Jim I know this is an old topic, but wanted to report that I am seeing the same thing. When the controller times out and powers off, vMix seems to ignore it until vMix is restarted...which tells me vMix probably does some kind of hardware initialization during startup, and doesn't do it again. Connecting the controller via USB is a possible workaround, but the entire reason I wanted to use it was so I could step 20-30 feet away from the laptop and have a physical remote. Trying to keep the controller away by pressing a button at least once every 15 minutes is just too big of a risk during a live event, especially when the only remedy is a total restart of vMix.
