Hi, do you remember which version of the plug-in you were using before upgrading to MediaPortal 1.2.1? I didn't change anything in the keyboard handling code, so key/remote button presses are intercepted in the same way as version 2.4.2. There have been other versions around however that used different key interception mechanisms. It could also be related to changes in MediaPortal itself.

When you're saying it sometimes works, sometimes not, it could be that the keyboard interception handler is temporarily disabled by Windows. Please check the mediaportal.log file for the following line: 'KeyboardInputPlugin: KeyboardHandler seems to be inactive; restarting'. This is a known issue, especially with Windows 7; see https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/generic-keyboard-remote-input-plugin-25755/index27.html#post626721 for a work-around. If anyone knows a better solution for this, please let me know.

I don't think the following will work for the Alt+Enter combination, but if it is defined as a configurable key mapping in MediaPortal, you can try to modify the key mapping or remove [MP userdata]\keymap.xml to prevent MediaPortal from handling this key combination altogether.

Please let me know whether the above helps; if not, please set your MediaPortal log level to Debug (MP Config->General) and check the mediaportal.log file after you encounter this issue. The plugin logs every key combination that it intercepts, so please check whether it actually sees the Alt+Enter key combo when your issue occurs.
