Error when pairing

[PranavSakthivel]

Hi, I'm running Fedora 34 KDE. I got the pairing to work, I saw all the LEDs flashing after pairing via bluetooth, and pressing both triggers changed the LED to player 1. As soon as this happens, the program keeps repeating this info:

Cemu does not detect the controller at all.

AttributeError: 'InputDevice' object has no attribute 'absinfo' suggests your evdev module is too old. Try to update it to the latest version.

@gal20 do you know what's the minimum version for it to work properly? I think someone else had this same issue before, maybe we could ensure the version in the dependencies txt and in the program itself.

Hi, thanks for the response. I grabbed the latest version of evdev I could I could using the fedora repository/dnf. How would I get this updated?

@PranavSakthivel The fedora dnf for the evdev module is python3-evdev. You can either remove it and then run pip install evdev, or you can keep it and run pip install --upgrade evdev.

@joaorb64 The changelog says absinfo was added in 1.3.0.

Thanks so much, that seems to get everything except rumble working on Cemu. For future reference, I had to install python3-devel to get pip install evdev to work.

[joaorb64]

@PranavSakthivel the cemuhook protocol doesn't process rumble. For that, you can use a mixed configuration: configure the controller from the config menus using the evdev device (which has rumble) and then pull only motion from cemuhook.
