X360 Controller not working on my Android TV?

I have the MXQ Pro, and when I plug the controller directly into the box (no otg cable needed) then the controller just flashes and does nothing. Unlike the videos I've seen of people "plug and play", nothing happens and I cannot select icons or anything on the home screen and games don't recognise it. When I plug the controller into my PC it works fine.
Anyone got any solutions?
Thanks!
If I haven't provided enough info, please ask for it!!
Please reply anyone :fingers-crossed:
