I upgraded from XBMC 13 Beta 4 to the final release today and when I ran XBMC it immediately behaved like the up-arrow key was pressed. My first thought was something was on top of my remote, but I quickly realized that was not the case. It would constantly scroll through the main menu (I am running the ACE skin and have it in vertical mode). When I tried pressing the down button on my remote it usually ignored it. Sometimes it would stop, but only for a few seconds and then go right back to repeatedly scrolling VERY fast.
I managed to SSH onto the mac running XBMC and kill the XBMC process, I re-ran XBMC thinking maybe something was wonky, but it did it again. I then went and found a download page on XBMC site that listed all the recent versions of XBMC 13. I downloaded RC1 and it did the same thing. I then went back to Beta 4, which is what I was running prior to upgrading and the problem went away, so it seems something was changed between Beta 4 and RC1, but I have no idea.
I am running on a mac using the X64 version. I have a FLIRC device which has an IR remote that can intercept signals from any remote and convert them to keypresses. I have not tried connecting a regular keyboard yet, though I will try to and see if that helps.
For the moment I am back to a functional state using Beta 4 but don't want to get stuck here, so any help would be appreciated.
