It stopped working

[Majkysek]

hi, I used magic mapper for about half a year, everything worked perfectly, but yesterday I installed a new application https://github.com/aabytt/custom-screensaver-aerial and since then magic mapper is not working i uninstalled the app and reinstalled magic mapper and it still doesn't work. I tried to kill the script and turn it on again manually, the script runs but the controller does not respond. I'm desperate, can someone help me? log Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/root/magic_mapper.py", line 480, in <module> main() File "/home/root/magic_mapper.py", line 476, in main input_loop(button_map=button_map) File "/home/root/magic_mapper.py", line 430, in input_loop fcntl.ioctl(input_device, EVIOCGRAB, 1) IOError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy

After reading the other issues here I edited to INPUT_DEVICE = "/dev/input/event5" now it works but 4 buttons are broken namely:

    139: "settings",
    241: "sources",
    773: "home",
    412: "back",

I tried adding them to magic_mapper.py and I edited the magic_mapper_config.json file thus:

  "home": {
    "function": "press_button",
    "inputs": {
      "button": "home"
    }
  },
  "back": {
    "function": "press_button",
    "inputs": {
      "button": "back"
    }
  },
  "settings": {
    "function": "press_button",
    "inputs": {
      "button": "settings"
    }
  },
  "sources": {
    "function": "press_button",
    "inputs": {
      "button": "sources"

But this solution doesn't work I also tried to set EXCLUSIVE_MODE = False The mentioned buttons then work, but the voice, netflix, alexa, etc. buttons do not. I don't understand why this all happened, but apparently it has nothing to do with installing custom-screensaver-aerial I will be glad for any help, thanks

I don't know if you ever got this working, but in case you didn't and you want to try again, try the latest version of the script. It sleeps for 2s at startup now as I noticed there was frequently an issue at first boot where it wouldn't start. The logging is also greatly improved so you may gain more insight into where it's getting hung up.

I will definitely try the new script, and I am glad that it is still being developed. However, I apologize, but my problem was solved a long time ago, I don't know why I didn't mention it here. It was because I used a USB wireless mouse for one trial day. Then I went on vacation and forgot about it when I returned. Then, after about a week, I noticed that I had a USB dongle in my TV. And that was the whole problem—after disconnecting it, everything worked and has been working flawlessly ever since.
