Junglecat Right Analog issue with Octopus Plugin

Hey guys. don't know if anyone else mentioned this issue but when I use the octopus plugin, the right analog stick does not seem to map the same way as the right. Its stutters in game, and if i try to pull it down it acts as if i'm flicking it instead of moving smoothly like the left analog. I've seen the issue described here: http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/en/showthread.php?tid=13202 Which theorizes that this is not a big but a feature. It makes playing certian dual analog apps impossible, notably the PS4 remote play. i downloaded the panda game-pad app and had the same exact issue, which sucks because other than that everything else works perfectly. Is there anyway to fix this right analog behavior? I've tried changing the speed and the radius of the button, no go. The right analog works fine in games that support the controller, this is just in the touch overlay games that this issue occurs. Flydigi controllers have had this overlay functionality working for a while, but I love the jungle cat slide on design much better. Really hope someone has a fix.

    So, follow up on the right analog stick issue AND PS4 remote play after a day of testing
    • The right analog issue is a feature, not a bug. Its intended to flick since that mimics the hand gesture in many games
    • There IS an option to have a regular right analog touch map in the Octopus Pro standalone app, which I tested and works exactly as I expected (there's a little configuration button when you place the right analog stick that lets you choose)
    • The above feature is not in the gamepad app version of octopus, I imagine it will be soon
    • Neither the gamepad app or the octopus pro standalone app actually support the remote play ps4 app. They both cause either an error or a crash. I believe it has to do with the "task affinity" feature they use which allows the gamepad pro app to masquerade as another app (evidenced by apps asking for "octopus" to have permission rather than the actual app that's running). Remote Play does not like this.
    • Octopus apparently has another variant of its software, Panda Gamepad Pro, that does work with remote play because it does NOT use the above mentioned task affinity. Instead it requires an "activation" application run from windows or Mac using USB debugging in developer mode and only works until the device is restarted. This allowed me to run remote play, but had the same issue with the right analog stick as the Razer gamepad app.
    • In the end I found two PS4 remote play apps that already support controllers! PStreamer (which is not free, $12 a licence) and an open source one called Chiaki that was difficult to set up. I tested PStreamer with a trial version and lo' and behold the junglecat worked perfect - I literally almost cried.
    So if anyone is having this issue with the right analog, I say wait for the gamepad app to be updated to the latest version of the octopus plugin that solves it. If your issue is with PS4 remote play, use one of the third party apps I mentioned that nationally supports it.
