The Rewind, FastForward, and Play_Pause buttons on my Fire TV Voice Remote are doing their actions twice on my Fire TV 2 box.

For testing, I have a completely fresh install of Kodi 17.3 with just the YouTube addon, otherwise default everything.

I add this keymap

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
  <Global>
    <keyboard>
      <rewind>PageUp</rewind>
      <fastforward>PageDown</fastforward>
    </keyboard>
  </Global>
  <FileManager>
    <keyboard>
      <play_pause>Highlight</play_pause>
    </keyboard>
  </FileManager>
</keymap>

If I use the rewind/fastforward buttons to scroll through long lists, then the PageUp/Down action is performed twice each time I push the button. Similarly using Play_Pause to highlight stuff in the file manager. I am sure I am not accidentally long-pressing.

In this log, at 16:34, I push FastForward two times, then Rewind two times, then Play_Pause two times.

As you can see, it tries to PageUp four times, PageDown four times, and PlayPause three times. (I'm not sure why PlayPause three times rather than four... possibly an artifact of being in the YouTube addon when I was testing? In the file manager, I would reliably expect to see Highlight four times.)

My FireTV firmware is up-to-date, my remote firmware is up-to-date, I see the same bug if I pair the remote from my old Fire TV 1 box, it happens in both the 32-bit and 64-bit builds, occurs in all Kodi release from 16.0 to 17.3, 15.2 works fine, as does the latest beta of SPMC.

I have found a few old posts mentioning similar problems...

The last two threads mention a fix in 16.0RC3, which appears to be this commit

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/cae1...2da7e91c93

but that obviously didn't fix my problem (I tested 16.0 release), and at first glance, it appears to be a fix for long presses repeating, not short ones.

The hacky fix suggested in 258104 also doesn't work for me.

I have, and the latest SPMC beta when I wrote the post worked fine.
