I'm streaming from my Windows PC to my Linux laptop and trying to use a wireless PS3 controller. The controller works fine when playing games running on the laptop but doesn't get recognized when using In-Home Streaming.
The controller works with games that I've tried to stream (Tomb Raider, Mad Max, etc.) when I run them under Linux, so it's not a problem with the games not supporting it.
Is there some confusion going on between my two computers while streaming? Do I have to pair the controller to the streaming PC and not the laptop for it to be recognized as an input device? Or, maybe, it's not possible to use a PS3 controller on the laptop because the streaming PC doesn't recognize the input?
