Ok, here is what i've got going on. I've pulled down a clean version of the latest (at the time of building ) source from github and built it. Now i can no longer use the menu button on my remote. It was working before the update, and all the other buttons are still working as expected.

This was used to return the the main menu screen from any submenu and for in movie menu access. Kind of a pain not to have it. Anyone know if this is a bug, known problem or the idiot at the keyboard doing something wrong?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Looks like I'me having the same problem. Irw output show that my computer is still receiving signal but xbmc just do not recognise it. I actually have two buttons that are out of function. Menu button and info button.

Thankfully my info button is still working. If i figure anything out, i'll post back here on this thread. Maybe it's the same problem.

Also, since i haven't heard or found to much on this issue, i've opened a bug ticket. (Ticket Link) In case anyone wants to check on progress. I'll also post any solution i get back here on this thread.

OK, in this case it turns out to be a problem between the keyboard and the chair!

Basically in my situation, at one update long ago, i set "prefix=/usr" on my install and created a parallel installation. What this means is i have a version of XBMC installed at "/usr/share/xbmc" and one at "/usr/local/share/xbmc". GoGo windows idiot in a linux environment.

The original basis for the change has long since been forgotten. I think it was to move away from the problematic Gentoo emerge of XBMC, that was broken at one point, and get into a clean install. This is all fine and dandy... unless you forgot you did such a thing. Long story short, i've been updating the wrong XBMC and as changes happened in the real install, my settings slowly stopped working.

The lesson learned here is always use the userdata files for settings changes.... or write down what you did yesterday so you can remember it today.

Also, big thanks to vdrfan for helping me out. I would never have figured this out without help.
