Additional Context

Trying to figure out why it does not work as the feature is supposed to implemented:

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/blob/1711664e51e8908ad148f719036cc24ac539fdfb/src/scripts/settings/appSettings.js#L27 https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/blob/1711664e51e8908ad148f719036cc24ac539fdfb/src/scripts/gamepadtokey.js#L88 https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/blob/1711664e51e8908ad148f719036cc24ac539fdfb/src/scripts/keyboardNavigation.js#L200

Could not find the setting mentioned, maybe I'm just blind. I just have a feeling this is not implemented in the server itself, but in the desktop app layer? Could someone confirm this?

Game pad is working fine with Xbox Cloud Gaming and this test page: https://gamepadtester.net/

Ok, after a few hours of fiddling it seem to work, it's just very well hidden. For future reference, here is how to enable it:

  1. Setting -> Display -> Display mode: TV
  2. Reload
  3. Settings -> Controller -> Enable gamepad
  4. Reload

Could we enable this by default maybe?

No. TV mode is designed for TVs. It lacks some features that Desktop and Mobile have. For example, there's no Dashboard. So it is up to the user to enable the TV mode.

In case you are using Jellyfin Media Player: AFAIK, you can run it with the "tv" option (not sure what it's called), then TV mode will be selected automatically.

FYI, keyboard (gamepad) navigation is only available in TV mode, as there is no focus indicator in Desktop and Mobile.
