i've the same problem with my mce remote. at the moment i install a kernel update. there is one thing i don't understand: it seems the problem is fixed in nightly builds. but how can xbmc nightly fix a kernel problem. if i understand right, only updating the kernel can fix the problem, not updating xbmc.

The problem seems with the Pinnacle receiver
So I made a switch and both are working fine now
The Pinnacle receiver is flawless on the Asrock Ion
And the home made PC works fine with the HP receiver

I think I have answered that question now three times.
The original issue - not the one, that people solved by upgrading kernel or whatever - is caused by SDL sending an event we don't like to get and remote suddenly dies. Nightlies don't use SDL for those remotes. So two options to fix that original problem:
a) OpenELEC - it has that old code whiped since 2 years
b) xbmc team ppa nigthlies
A fix to gotham would be arround 2000 loc - which won't happen.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Try alfa 14.0 from nigthlies today, freezes absent while(very short testing period about 2 hours), but have not reaction for multimedia buttons like Play, Pause or Stop (as for remote so for keyboard). Usual binded keypresses like ctrl+p or shift+ctrl+p are working.

I'm having the same issue as aforementioned.
Remote stops working after little time, and I get crashlog...
Quite annoying bug.
This is with XBMC installed on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Previously I had it running on Ubuntu 12.04, and there it all worked fine.

As said my HP works fine and my Pinnacle fails
Maybe people can include the model of receiver here
