renamed xboxapp xkm not detecting

[shrek88]

hey got a problem since couple of days when microsoft decided to uppgrade the xboxapps name, now it dosnt know it is running. and just stays blue. ive looked abit on my own but i cannot find where to change or so please fix this if u can please

[RenanBan]

yeah, this new xbox app update, the mouse and keyboard app doesnt lock the mouse into the app, need fix asap

[secretspy911]

It is really easy to fix on our end until someone from the project fixes it. Just go in the XboxStream class and change line 32 for the right name. I did it last night and it works.

[RenanBan]

Could you give a quick tour on how to do that, you change on github? or on the computer itself?

[secretspy911]

You cannot do it on github unless you are a contributor. Do it locally on your computer. Git clone the project (or download the zip) on your computer, open the code (you will need to download Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 if you don't have it). Change the code and run it from Visual Studio.

[RenanBan]

hmm nice, thanks a lot man will do

[secretspy911]

But what sucks now is the name of the app is not longer language neutral. The name before was "Xbox" which is the same in all the languages. Now, for me in French I had to write "Compagnon de la console Xbox". So now the project will only work with English computers, unless the project contributors can find something to handle it.

[RenanBan]

Thats bad, the guys will figure it out im sure, and i managed to get it working, thanks for the help

[shrek88]

@secretspy911 how should it say im in a english version it says Xbox Console Companion but it still wont trigger :( should spaces in the name be just spaces or no spaces or ? love if u sent me the bit of text edited here in commment that i need to change

[secretspy911]

Whatever the language, the text in the code must be the exact same the the text you see at the top of the xbox app when it's open.

[shrek88]

nvm Just got it to work i hope xD mouse locked in window app turned green XD thanks alot

[shrek88]

solved issue and i got a build that works if ur OS is english and can mabey? be sent? dunt know-.- thankks @secretspy911 (had solved the issue long ago haha but missspelled the name :D thanks for correcting me) ^^

[DavidRieman]

Yeah we should get some code in that detects the app better. Its the same exact string match that blocked an Xbox app beta version user a while ago. Then we can push a new click-once update to auto deploy the fix to everyone.

Im pretty busy but will try to squeeze out some time to start looking into this late tonight unless another contributor can commit better. :)

[DavidRieman]

reopening until we deploy a fix to everyone

[shrek88]

im no contributor just a fan xD. but ill look on what i can look into. and pass it along to u. might have an idea. tho i must go to sleep soon not alot 3 last days, can count the h on 1 hands fingers xD haha

[DavidRieman]

@shrek88 don't worry about it, we got this on our end.

@kostkol87 you can try opening the .sln file in Visual Studio and building it that way. (setdd isn't recognized on my Win10 machine either, and there are other oddities in build.bat like the configuration being out of date. I know I haven't ever touched that build.bat and we should probably delete it or fix it.)

Or wait for the fixed binaries, which I'm working on soon.

[DavidRieman]

Great news: I've deployed the new version. If you've used the installation instructions to install with that click-once installer, then the next launch should auto-update to the fixed version. Please try it out and report back here so we can confirm and close the issue.

Still not working, how can I resolve?
