Problem: When navigating the Kodi menus (settings, subtitle download, browse movies, etc) using a MCE remote, playback pauses and resumes (First button press pauses, second resumes, third pauses, fourth resumes and so on)
1. Version of Kodi.
17.6 Git:20171114-a9a7a20
2. Windows Version + Service Pack version
Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit service pack 1
3. CPU/Architecture
Intel i5-6260U
4. RAM amount
16GB
5. Detailed Instructions to reproduce the Problem
Start playing a movie (any movie or TV series episode seems to work). Press ENTER on the MCE remote to bring up the menu. Use arrow buttons on the MCE remote to go to Subtitles. Press ENTER. In the subtitles dialog box, press up or down. Playback is paused/resumed by every key press.
Alternative: Start playing a move. Press BACKSPACE on the MCE remote to access the menu system while the move is playing. For each button press on the MCE remote (up/down/left/right/enter) playback is paused or resumed.
6. Details of all devices relevant to the problem
"Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver" bought on Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wireless...32594.html

Sorry if this has been covered already. I have tried searching for various keywords (mce remote double command, mce remote menu pause, mce remote menu playback). I found https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=57488 which seems like a similar problem, but I'm not using lirc and the problem is slightly different - I don't get double presses, I get one press in the menu and one for the playback control.
I am not getting this effect when I perform the same navigation steps using a regular keyboard.
My guess is that *something* thinks it is smart and affects playback. This something is probably outside Kodi. So if I could figure out what that something is, and turn it off, Kodi would probably work great.
Any ideas?
