I get the same problem. I've not found an actual fix for it but I do
have a workaround. It's because the mythfrontend window loses focus, so
if you're running it on a desktop then you can click to another window
and then back in the mythfrontend window and it will work again.
Alternatively, after watching a video in Xine, navigate to the media
library and go to recorded programs. Go to any recording and press
"right" to bring up the list of options and you will find that you
probably can't select any of them. Press escape and then right again and
you should now find that the window has focus and you can select the
options again. The EPG in Live TV will also work again now.
