Hi,
Two weeks ago I have upgrade my XBMC 12 to XBMC 12 beta 2 and since this I have the "Search Dialog" issue.
I have collected the log and see that there are some activity of YouTube plugin at the time of popup.
So I suspect that some plugins may cause the issue and not UPNP.
I'm going to disable the YouTube plugin and monitor the system.

After almost two weeks of tests I have no search dialog issue with disabled YouTube plugin.
So It looks like I have found my root cause.

Does it still seem like deleting YouTube is the way to go?

Hi all,
This the team aware of this problem?
Is this a UPnP issue or is it created by the YouTube addon. Having the exact problem and also just switched to a LG TV.
So any update and hopefully a solution would be highly appriciated.

I'm having the same problem, since alpha 6.
Windows 7 64 bit.
UPnP active,
Connected devices: Raspberry Pi, LG TV, Sony TV - some laptops (Lenovo) - some mobilephones and one tablet.
As far as i can tell - it is only video and music addons wich causes the problem. Besides youtube, other addons tricker the bug. Eg. xbmctorrent, DR Bonanza, digitalimported...
Edit:
Tried some more test - and it seems to in the latest stable release, that it is UPnP wich courses the problem. If i turn that function off - the pop-ups stops.

update: Since I turned off UPnP, the pop-ups stopped completely. So thanks for this solution!!!!
I also think it's triggered by the addons like Cliq, Youtube, ... But no hard proof on that.

What UPnP option are you turning off? What other UPnP clients+servers do you have on your network?

Thanks for this! I have an LG Smart TV, I have the YouTube plugin which is required for other plugins, and I had UPnP enabled. My tablet (Nexus 7 2013) was going crazy with popups. The search would popup then it would "cache" the movie list over and over ... I couldn't even use the interface. I had to try several times (and force stopping) to even get to the interface to turn off UPnP. As soon as I turned it off the problem was solved.
I have setup XBMC Gotham in various betas, etc several times and always reverted back to Frodo because I thought this was some kind of bug with my tablet or Android. I'm so glad to have this resolved enough to continue using XBMC.
This problem doesn't exist in 12... Is there any information I can provide for debugging this further?

"I had UPnP enabled" Which bit? There's multiple UPnP settings (client/server/renderer etc.)

In XBMC, I had "Share video and music libraries" and "Look for remote UPnP players" enabled. I did not have "Allow control of XBMC via UPnP" enabled. I'm not aware of any other settings so I'd have to say whatever the defaults are.

Neither of my LG tvs are on my lan at present, I'll try plugging one in and see what happens too.

Hm... my mediecenter pc are also connected to a LG TV (through a Dennon surround amplifier - PC -> HDMI > Amplifier -> HDMI > LG TV)
I will enable UPnP in XBMC, and turn off my LG TV and see if the problem disapears.
