Just installed new aTV4 with Disney Infinity 3.0 with Nimbus Wireless Controller special combo pack. Wife is having a blast with it. The Siri Remote works fine in DI. But the Nimbus Controller seems useless in Disney infinity. Paired nicely. The X controls work fine in the main menu , to choose and select settings etc. But in DI Nimbus seems useless other that the Menu Button.
Any thoughts
Apple TV, tvOS 9.0.1
I have a similar issue/question. How do you configure the Nimbus to be the main controller (player 1) instead of the Siri remote?
Were you able to resolve this? I have the same issue with the Nimbus not controlling player one but the Siri remote works. The nimbus works fine with player two. Apple support can't/won't help because the controller is connected to the Apple TV So as far as they're concernd they're done. So much for that Apple ethos of having it all work right out of the box.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to resolve this which really *** because I bought 2 Nimbus remotes so my kids could play multiplayer games and both use the better remotes. I also saw this thread which suggests this isn't supported:
connecting two nimbus remotes to apple tv
Seems like a pretty big hole in the gaming capability of ATV4. What are the chances of Apple changing this in a software update?
This is what is working for me. Use the Nimbus controller to launch infinity and not the Siri remote. Which ever one you launch the game with will become the main controller. After the game is going then you can add the second player with that controller. I don't use the Siri remote at all going from main screen to launch or at any point while using Infinity. Of course, I did update the firmware on the Nimbus and re-paired them with AppleTV. Did a restart on the whole system. That other thread where someone says you can't use two Nimbus remotes is wrong, you can. Hope this solves your issues.
Thanks Digby! That helped me get the Nimbus to work as player 1. But I still have a problem. The system makes the Siri remote player 2 and the other Nimbus remote as player 3. How in the world do I change the other Nimbus remote to be player 2??
Did you resolve this issue? I have the same problem with my new ATV and Nimbus controllers.
