Description
I have a DualShock 4 connected through the official Sony DUALSHOCK 4 USB Wireless Adaptor on Windows.
Added HIDAPI device 'PS4 Controller' VID 0x054c, PID 0x0ba0, bluetooth 0, version 256, serial f4-93-9f-c3-d5-fe, interface 3, interface_class 0, interface_subclass 0, interface_protocol 0, usage page 0x0001, usage 0x0005, path = \?\HID#VID_054C&PID_0BA0&MI_03#c&306d498d&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}, driver = SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS4 (ENABLED)
Since about version 3.4.10 and above the controller no longer automatically changes its light bar to blue (player 1) automatically on startup or when set manually via SDL_SetGamepadPlayerIndex().
This was working correctly with SDL 3.4.4.
Bug present in SDL 3.4.10 ... 3.4.16.
NB: Did not try SDL 3.4.6 and 3.4.8.
But setting it to the 2nd player
SDL_SetGamepadPlayerIndex(gamepad, 1);
does change the LED to red (expected behavior).
Expected behavior
When the DS4 is assigned to player 1 (player_index = 0), the light bar should turn blue.
This was the behavior I had with SDL 3.4.4.
Actual behavior
With SDL 3.4.16:
SDL_SetGamepadPlayerIndex(gamepad, 0);
does not change the light bar.
The player index is nevertheless correctly reported as 0:
SDL_Log("player index = %d", SDL_GetGamepadPlayerIndex(gamepad));
// player index = 0Interestingly assigning the controller to player 2 does work correctly:
SDL_SetGamepadPlayerIndex(gamepad, 1);
The player index becomes 1 and the light bar changes to red, as expected.
Additional testing
- I verified that the underlying LED functionality works correctly with
SDL_SetGamepadLED().
- I tried changing the hint
SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ENHANCED_REPORTS but this had no effect on the issue.
