Long URLs not working

Closed this issue · 6 comments

i created a URL with custom mapping on gamepadviewer.com, works in Chrome, but when i paste it into obs-linuxbrowser, mapping is default

Well, i fixed my mapping, but issie with obs-linuxbrowser still exists

Needs more detailed information.

Which versions (OBS, obs-linuxbrowser, CEF) are used?
What is the exact problem?
How can I reproduce it?
Can you provide any log files?

obs-linuxbrowser-bin 0.4.0-1
obs-studio 21.1.2-1

I use PS3 controller with xboxdrv. When i opened gamepadviewer.com, buttons mapping was wrong, so i remapped them in remap menu. Then i generated a URL with these settings (it's very long). It works fine in Chrome, but when i pasted it in linuxbrowser, mapping was still wrong, like no settings were applied at all.

Currently, obs-linuxbrowser has a max URL size of 1024 characters. Your URL seems to exceed this limitation.

You could try using a URL shortener as a workaround until I figure out a way to support lager URLs. Please reply, if using a URL shortener has worked out, or not.

It worked! I used bitly.com and it's alright now, thanks!

Thank you for your feedback. I'll try to implement a bugfix, but for now we should stick with this workaround. This issue should stay open until the bug has been fixed.
