</span>The code<br>
<a href="https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmythui/mythmainwindow.cpp#L2496" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/MythTV/<wbr>mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/<wbr>libs/libmythui/mythmainwindow.<wbr>cpp#L2496</a><br>
<br>
will silently ignore lirc events if the screensaver is "active".<br>
<br>
That might tie in with the distro-specific nature.<br>
<br>
Note resetting the screensaver generates an event - it does not get<br>
reset immediately.<br>
<br>
So if the screen is considered asleep the first press will be ignored.<br>
By the 2nd it would have woken up.<br>
<br>
No idea why it would be asleep when playback starts. Not being<br>
initialised ?<br>
<br>
You could try disabling any screensavers. It might prove something.<br>
