Ok, an update. (I know it's been a while).

After logitech made some changes to my account, I tried updating my remote but there were errors. (Updating Remote Configuration Error -> This problem must be resolved before you can update the remote. Missing infrared command "Open/Close" for device "HTPC".) This command used to exist but didn't anymore, so I learnt it and tried updating again. Same error but for command "Yellow". Looking at the device they modified, it looks like they have replaced it with a different one with slightly different command names. For instance "Yellow" used to exist, but is now called "Yellow/MyTV".

Suspecting that some of my old activities were still referencing the old names and that support staff had forgot to update them, I removed all my old activities and tried to update the remote. Same problem, so I went through and essentially learned duplicates for the commands it winged about until I could update my remote. Success!

The repeating forever problem is gone for all keys! (I did give them a comprehensive list of problems with each key.) There's still a few things I'd like to tweek, but essentially the major problems are gone.

I've now loaded on the KeyboardInputPlugin and it works ok. For me it does throw an exception and crash MediaPortal if you press a button that isn't mapped, but if you add a mapping for it, it works ok. I haven't searched to see if anyone else has that problem or if there is a solution yet as once the buttons in iMON Manager are mapped, it's not a big problem for me. If i get time, i might even fire up the KeyboardInputPlugin source code (i'm a developer by day) and try and find and fix the problem myself (obviously giving back any bug fixes i find).

So in short, my problem with repeating button presses is solved. Thanks everyone, hope you've all had the same success.
