Great!! Thanks for still support this hardware!!
I've lost the ability to use my PDP wired controller for Xbox series X with this new build.

It is recognised in VirtualHere but in the controller section it keeps blinking in and out of the list.

Any way to roll back a build?

If you have ssh enabled, you can go edit /mnt/config/systemupdate_branch.txt and put in a specific build number to go to that one.

That said, if rolling back to an earlier build (like 910 or whatever) works, I would definitely get the streaming logs from the busted build and share them, so that slouken et al can try to fix that.
I think I've lost the ability to use my Xbox One controller with the Steamlink. I can't connect directly with bluetooth or using a USB receiver. Controller works fine with my PC and the USB receiver. It worked fine the last time I used it a few months ago.
Update, I've used a Fat32 usb to downgrade my steamlink back to 910, now my controller works again. I'll see if I can provide some logs, not sure If I have access to a pc tomorrow
my x1s/x controller (1914) works fine with the link via bt
it was unpaired, so i paired it using a ds4 controller via bt

so far no issues with it

try going to the bt menu using k/m or other controller, and reset
then pair it again
Absolutely Legendary, I still use my little piece of steam hardware every week

I am trying to pair one computer with the steam link hardware and even it pairs and I type the right pin when I try to connect it is asking always a new pin (the pin in the pc is disabled, it is not about the extra pin). can somebody help me? the other paired pcs and android connect without problems. It is the steam link hardware....
I'm pretty sure that since this update went live, I'm having an issue with the physical steam link.

When I start playing a game, everything is fine. After 60 seconds or so, the steam link doesn't seem to register my controller inputs as efficiently. It will miss some, some will register as running for longer than I had pressed it IRL, etc.

I usually play couch co-op, and this has happened to both players usually around the same time. It's happened in multiple games as well.

Both controllers are 8bitDo wired ultimate 2c. Tried a factory reset on the steam link, tried changing all of my settings to get the fastest/smoothest video possible and no dice.

Any suggestions?

It sounds like some pairing information is corrupt, try a factory reset?

This sounds like networking issues. Can you post a link to the Steam logs\streaming_log.txt from the host PC?

When it was connected a few months ago, was it connected wired, or using a USB receiver, or via Bluetooth?

If it was connected via Bluetooth, can you try going to the Bluetooth settings and doing a reset there and then repairing?

Do you have an Amazon link to the exact controller you're using?

I tried a PDP Xbox One Midnight Blue here and it works fine...

Yep! It's this one https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Controller-Joysticks-Remappable-Gaming-Console/dp/B0D72WYT8Z Technically that one and a purple one, but they're the same. Thanks in advance!

Did you mean to link to an 8BitDo Ultimate wired? I ask because you specifically mentioned a PDP controller misbehaving, not an 8BitDo one.
