My symptoms match Jan's exactly, so I agree that the issue described in that
LIRC ticket isn't the same one we're seeing.
Just to elaborate on the behavior I'm seeing in case my original description
wasn't clear:
1. Navigate around in the MythTV menu with the remote, find the recording I
want to watch, press OK. Playback starts.
2. Once playback has started, press any remote button (Pause, Info, Skip
Forward, etc.). The press isn't recognized. It doesn't matter whether I
pressed the button immediately after playback started or waited 20 minutes.
3. Press a button again. It could be the same button as the first one or a
different one. This time the press is recognized. For the remainder of the
playback of this recording, all button presses are recognized, no matter how
long I wait between presses.
4. Exit the recording.
5. Go back to step 1. Everything happens the same way again: All presses in the
menu are recognized, the first press after playback is ignored, and
subsequent presses during playback are recognized.
