Jellyfin client malfunctioning with controller

[jojorabbit]

jellyfin-media-player 1.11.1-2, installed from AUR.
OS:Arch/Sway

Jellyfin is showing some erratic behaviour with controls on my dualsense 5 , which is connected to my pc in wired mode.

Gamepad setting is turned off in client. But somewhy Jellyfin client  always responds to buttons pressed on controller, even if client window is on a different monitor, or unfocussed.

ie. in a 2 monitor setup, jellyfin client is on monitor 1 with some media being played, and on monitor 2 , i am actively playing a game, every controller input is being passed to client as well which isnt in focus

Hi, just saying that this is also an issue I'm facing as well. I have Enable Gamepad disabled in settings. OS:Ubuntu. Very annoying since I'm unable to play games and listen to music at the same time

I was able to track down a resolution in the jellyfin-media-player issues page: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-med...issues/325.

TL;DR: set "sdlEnabled": false in $HOME/.local/share/jellyfinmediaplayer/jellyfinmediaplayer.conf

You can disable controller input by editing the jellyfinmediaplayer.conf file
