Turning the controller of and on again renders the controller unusable

[zedwick]

With sc-xbox.py or sc-desktop.py running, no button presses are registered after turning the controller off and on again. Everything works perfectly prior to this.

The workaround is currently to stop and start the script, which allows use of the controller again. Though this is not always possible, especially if the controller is the primary input for the device.

Testing on Raspbian.

I've since realised this problem only occurs if the controller is manually turned off by holding the steam button. If the controller is left to turn itself off, everything works fine the next time it is turned on.

Yea, looks like this could (still) be an issue though... Especially on things like retropie... Want to turn off controller to save power? Can't use it again until restarting deamon, or under certain use cases, the retropie hardware. Hopefully, @ynsta sees this and potentially fixes the code after 2 years inactivity.
