After searching the internet, I found nothing really interesting. Kodi addon will not work because gamepad support is still missing. EmulationStation addon might work but than ... Kodi solution will be missing. So I had to go one level up to the OS. But even here I found nothing really easy to setup or working. So I decided to write this program. It runs as a daemon in the background and listening in nonblocking mode to /dev/input/js* devices. To make it hotplug capable, it's monitoring the udev signals if no device is present.

If you have many different /dev/inputs, you can pass it as an arguement at the startup:
'''jslisten --device /dev/input/myinput/js0'''

## Known limitations
* If you have many different /dev/inputs, you might need to adjust this program to search for special one.
* Kodi and X11 are blocking /dev/input/* events. For X11 you can add an exception in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-quirks.conf but Kodi is ... nasty ... As long as they don't implement a nice
unified unput support, my workaround is to revoke the kodi group rights to the input devices. :(
* If you experience any issues, feel free to use '--debug' option
