Hi all.

I've been running MP 1.12 for quite a while and have recently upgraded to 1.21. I now have a remote control issue which did not previously exist, and to be honest I'm not sure where to start with debugging.

I use the good old MCE remote controls (MCE 2/1039) on media PCs around my house (in other words I'd prefer not to change).

I also have MediaMonkey and Spotify running on the same machine as where I'm having this issue. These sit behind Mediaportal, as it's set to "Keep Mediaportal Always on top"

Since the 1.12 to 1.21 upgrade:
- when I use the PLAY button in Mediaportal, either MediaMonkey or Spotify immediately starts playing music, rendering the Play button useless in Mediaportal.
- and when I use the PAUSE button a Spotify Pause menu pops up on top of Mediaportal.

In the "Remotes and Input devices" I have the HID tab with "Enable HID" ticked with Classic profile selected.

It's as though Mediaportal was previously the app with the focus for input commands, but now it is letting these commands go through to other apps.

Note for completeness: I also use an old version of LM Remote Keymap, and also Eventghost, which could have some impact on remote commands but neither of these have changed.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to configure it so that only Mediaportal responds to the IR Remote commands?

Thanks a lot for any ideas
