OpenPHT 1.8.0 and High Sierra Remote Issues

Does anyone know if this might make it into a hot fix in the near future, or is it looking more like we’ll need to wait for the fix to get merged into the Open PHT 2.0 branch? Or is it a relatively easy thing to self-modify on 1.8 by altering a preference file or…? Being an Open PHT user with a Harmony remote, running Plex on a Mac Mini, this is the one thing scaring me off from upgrading to macOS. :#
