None of the controls work except hovering over videos and pressing y to search. That's about it, cant select, pause or use any of the other functions. This is with a brand new controller used wirelessly and wired with the same results. I do want this to work so if there is anything else I need for this to work please let me know

Doesn't work, you can scroll through movies but you can't select a movie from controller. I've tried pressing every button
