On my Android mobile, OS version 4.4.4, ever since I upgraded to 13.2 beta 3 and the issue continued in 13.2 RC none of my hardware buttons fully work when navigating the menus and/or while watching something.
Some of the problems include being unable to turn the volume up and down while playing a video. Although, the buttons do work while on the home window. This isn't a huge deal due to having actual on-screen volume buttons on the menu bar that pops up while playing a movie. That is, so long as I can even get to the on-screen volume buttons. Refer to the issue below.
The Return hardware key does nothing anymore. This one is especially important whenever I wish to change random audio and video settings while playing a movie. I can go into the settings, but if I happen to click on, say, the audio offset button, and the small slider box pops up allowing me to change it, I have no way of returning anywhere, neither the usual menu with all the radio buttons for the video being displayed, or even the home window. I have to press menu just to get out of it, thus, closing XBMC/Kodi entirely. This issue is actually somewhat bigger for me as I like to move one of the display settings all the way over to '2.00', which turns the screen off, so I can keep my headphones on and listen without wasting the screen from running while I sleep.
Anyway, I am just curious what might have changed from 13.2b2 to 13.2b3 that resulted in these issues for me, and if anyone else may have noticed them as well. I would love to find a fix for them, but it seems being the release candidate, I guess I am almost out of luck.
