Re: Remote Buddy not working unless Plex is running

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Thanks for getting back to me. I understand the concept of the mappings - unfortunately that is not the problem I am experiencing. 
It looks like RB does not see any remote input unless Plex is running. For example: to be able to auto pair the remotes with RB, I needed to start Plex and put it in the background. While Plex was in the background RB saw the remote show up and added it to the multi remote list. 
I also tried to add a command to the default mapping and it didn't work unless Plex was running in the background. 
It was almost as if starting Plex 'turned on' the IR receiver and then RB would see the input.
