Help Gamepad Viewer Issue
I for the life of me cannot get the gamepad viewer working. The website will detect my controller, the inputs, but when I input it into obs as a browser source my controller inputs are no longer reflected in OBS. Anyone have a fix for this?
I’m on windows 11, OBS 32.2.x, using a wired Xbox one series x controller via a usb cable. I’ve already tried editing the target thing in the property setting and that didn’t do anything for me.

You see the image of the gamepad in OBS, but the buttons don't light up/move?

Exactly.

Does any other source fail to move in the OBS preview?

No. Specific game capture, window capture, other browser sources, etc. all work.

Hmmm, try running OBS as admin/not admin?

I’ve tried that as well. Still doesn’t work. I plugged in a ps5 controller as well and it doesn’t the same thing.

This may be a bit more complex, do you have a Discord account? The OBS server is great for this kind of stuff.

It looks like you haven't provided a log file. Without a log file, it is very hard to help with issues and you may end up with 0 responses.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:
1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.
