[HTFanatic]

I deleted all of the devices and the entire activity last night and then re-added the activity and devices, then programmed
the hard buttons on the remote for the Play, Pause, Stop, Fastforward and Rewind and those buttons still didn't work.

All of the other buttons work.

I just thought of something...maybe I should try to program the "Play" buttons on the remote (hard buttons on the remote that is, not the LCD screen buttons)
to a different button on the lower part of the remote and see if it works. If it does work, then my buttons at the top of the remote are dead.

I will try this tonight. If it doesn't work then I have no choice but to use my new case number I created and offer to pay Logitech the $10 tech support service.
They confirmed last night that they charge you after they fix it. If it is not a programming issue, then they don't charge you (ie if they can't fix it via their programming on their end, then they don't charge you)

Last night I was also on the phone with Logitech Tech Support and the tech support rep created LCD screen commands/buttons and had me try them for "Play", "Pause" etc and they didn't work.

I was on the phone with Harmony (Logitech) Tech support for about 1 hour last night.
End result: no solution.
I even paid the $10 for their tech support since my Harmony Ultimate was out of warranty, but they refunded
me my $10 at the end because they were unable to resolve the issue.

I was able to successful assign a function to my "Play" button on the remote. What I did was I assign the "Setup" function of my Denon Receiver to the "Play"
button and the "Play" button did successfully turn on the "Setup" function of my Denon with no problem, which proves that it is not a hardware problem
with the remote.

Logitech tried doing a bunch of &%*# to attempt to get the solution (ie they were creating on their end new activities and trying weird different devices to be added
such as the "Kodi MX" device and the "Kodi III" device etc to no avail) but they failed.

I am wondering now if this problem has to do with how I attached the HP IR Receiver to a different PC for a few days while I was restoring my HTPC (the PC with the problem that I now have with certain hard buttons on the Harmony Ultimate remote not working ie "Play" "Pause" "Stop") and had the Harmony running on that PC successfully. I will delete Kodi tonight from my 2nd PC and remove my "MyHarmony" link on the 2nd PC and then restore the HTPC (the problem PC)
this weekend and see if that fixes it.

Other then that I have no other ideas.

Anyone else have a problem with only their "Play" "Pause" "Stop" "Fast Forward" and "Rewind" buttons not working to control Kodi (while playing a movie via Kodi)
while all other buttons control Kodi just fine?
