Hi, I looked but did not see this posted before. I installed PLEX on the SDeck and only can navigate through the keyboard, which covers half the screen & is awkward.

Has anyone else had this issue?

The searches related to this came up with a reddit question similar. but the results from troubleshooting that way didnt work.

Suggestions?

I would suggest Plex HTPC on the deck instead, since it works really well with the deck's gamepad in the normal gaming mode. Touch also works but should probably be considered a last resort IMO

Sorry, I couldn't remember the abbreviations, it is PLEX HTPC installed... :(

Is this in game mode or in desktop mode? Either way, have you tried setting a control profile for it that will let you do keyboard inputs through the dpad/buttons?

Someone else may have already uploaded a profile set up for it as well.

The control set up is with the ,box controller, shows the controller, but nothing happens in-app
