In my set up, I actually use a bluetooth adapter and connect a DS4 controller to it instead of connecting to the Shield's bluetooth. BTW, what emulators are detecting your controller as player 2? If that doesn't work, you can use a nifty program called usbdeview to help assist in your troubleshooting and potentially remove old devices.
If I let my controller's bluetooth time out, and I reconnect it again, for some reason the USB slot increases (player 1 become player 2 and player 2 becomes player 3, etc).its pretty random.in my case, all I need to do is a reboot of my PC to set everything back originally. My initial suggestion is to try a reboot of your PC to see if your controller defaults to Player 1.
How Windows handles the controller GUIDs are a little chaotic sometimes. Let me know if you have questions on setting this up and I can walk you through this set up. With this set up, Windows will definitely recognize your controller as a Xbox 360 Controller for Windows within Device Manager. If you connect, say a Mayflash bar to your nVidia Shield, it will show up on your Windows PC as if you connected the Mayflash bar physically to your PC. If you connect a Bluetooth transceiver to your nVidia Shield, it will show up as if the device is plugged into your Windows PC and you set up your device connections on the Windows PC and not the Shield.
So with this program, your USB devices that are connected to the nVidia Shield are virtually connected to your Windows PC like they were actually plugged into the PC.

Your Windows PC should pick up your controller as a XBox 360 Controller for Windows in Device Manager. I then have an AutoHotKey script that launches Bigbox automatically when your gamestream session connects. Option 1: What I did that initially solved my problem was share out remote desktop (mstsc.exe) instead of just Bigbox. So my recommendation is try option 1.if option 1 doesn't work try option 2 will definitely work. It was a big issue for me with setting up Taito Type X. If so, I have had a hard time trying to get some emulators to recognize the controller buttons when launched from Bigbox if Bigbox is the only application shared to your nVidia Shield. On your Windows PC, are you just sharing out just Bigbox to your nVidia shield? Plus, you'll be able to game for hours with long-lasting battery life, which is perfect for those intense retro gaming sessions.So when you connect your XBox Controller to the nVidia Shield and connect to your windows PC, the windows PC should see it as a Xbox360 Controller for Windows.
