Xbox streaming app no longer sending controller inputs?!

I7emesis · May 2, 2020

Xbox streaming no longer seems to work (it did until I tried today) - the app connects to one of my xboxes just as it always has but now the controller inputs are not working?!

this worked fine before but no longer. 4 different android devices, 4 different xboxes and 4 different controllers tried - all updated to latest versions and firmware.

Any ideas why this suddenly stopped? I often stream from different areas of the house and during this lock down it is crippling where my kids can play. (they Love the streaming app!)

The connection gets right to the xbox home screen but no input works other than the "B" button that allows a disconnect from the xbox (which is a local android app popup) any ideas? Is this just me being a donkey or are others getting this problem with this
otherwise amazing service and app?!

Ok for anyone who is having this issue... removing and reinstalling the streaming app on the android devices fixed the issue.

Upgraded to Xbox App beta 9.9.21000 but still having the same issue:

Able to stream to my Xbox, but the controller is passing its input to both the Xbox and the Xbox App beta - the Xbox is controllable but the Xbox App beta is also being controlled by the controller - so pressing the B button at any time immediately terminates
the streaming.

hi there, sorry to hear that.

this wouldn`t help you directly but all i can say, here, xbox one x (skipe ahed) with galaxy s10+ everything works fine, on console streaming and cloud streaming.

I had the same problem. Deleting all the data related to the App solved the issue for me, afterwards you will need to Login again but the controller should work again in the app.

In most Android devices it should be Settings -> Apps --> Streaming (this is the App) --> Storage --> Clear Data

Good Luck.

xbox peripherals other than the controller will not work over streaming full stop. the files you were trying to use are to set them up for other games, only the xbox controller or a controller with x-input can be used for streaming.
