My Android TV (Sony) just got hold of Kodi 18 - I have noticed that when fast-forwarding I'm no longer able to press the Play-button to stop FF and go into play-mode, I have to use "Reverse" to stop FF and getting it to Play.
I can use Play / Pause button during normal playback, so the keys are still working, any settings I need to tweek or ?

I am seeing the same behavior with my Harmony/Logitech 650 remote on my Sony XBR-55930D Android TV with latest Sony firmware v5.417.
I think it either has to do with the key mapping of the play button to enter/ok, or to the PlayerControl(command) Player builtin setting to something other than "Play".
I will try to dump my keymap xml file to see what the above mappings are set to.
Finally, I played around with the Key Mapper add-on to no avail. Other than "Play", which I set to the appropriate button on my remote, there was no PlayerControl(command) option in the add-on.

Tried disabling joystick driver to "none", didn't work. This really is annoying, as we use fast forward then play all the time. Wifey is not happy. Dog bites me.
What to do?

I found a workaround. While fast-forwarding, hit pause then play. Works for now.
Thanks for submitting bug report.
Cheers!

I have the same issue on Sony TV though I also lose sound after getting the file to play again - when I fast forward and press pause and play there's no sound, I have to rewind x2 pause and play to get sound

Thanks, it can take up to 10 secs for the sound to kick back in. I guess when I didn't have that issue before when ff I didn't think to leave it play a while.

Just wanted to say that I'm also experiencing this exact same problem after the update to v18. It also effects rewinding as well as fast forward.
In my case it's on a Sony Android TV model KDL-50W805C. Looks like Sony is a common factor?
I've tried remapping the keys in every way I can possibly think of but it makes no difference, the action of the remote's "Play" button is unaffected.
I turned on debugging and looked at the logs. I can see the button presses being logged up until it starts VideoFullScreen.xml. Then no more button presses are logged until you exit back to the menu.
BTW I've also noticed the delay in resumption of audio, although that's not too much of a concern. The delay seems to be randomly between 0 and a few seconds.
