Pi5 - Bluetooth connection issues with controllers
Hey,

I've been trying to get controllers working with BT on the pi5. I can get my switch pro controller working (initially via emulationstation connection that carries over into steamlink after I close emulation station I assume). I tried to connect a new controller via bluetooth, via dongle but no dice - I only managed to get it working while wired (which was when the Switch controller was turned off so I don't even know if that'd interfere).

I also noticed during use the Switch controller will randomly lose connection and have to be re-paired.

I'm using a Nyxi Master P1 as my second controller - probably a bit too obscure for anyone to have on hand, but has anyone had issues connecting two controllers to steamlink via pi4 or pi5?

Pi5
Retropie v4.8.2
Xbox one controller model 1708

I am having issues which sound related. I can get an Xbox one controller connected in emulation station via Bluetooth (xpadneo drivers) but when I load up steam link the same controller is unresponsive though it is listed as a connected controller.

I can turn that controller off and the detected connection drop and is then picked up when I turn it back on but is still unresponsive.

Same controller works fine over a wired connection.

Looking on the steamlink app support page I see that only wired connections are supported for Xbox one controllers so I guess I have answered my own question as to why it isn't working.

I guess at this point it's a feature request.
