Arcade MAME keymapping and Android tv bug

I love the idea of plex arcade, been using it for a couple of days and I have a few questions.

I can get the Atari games to load and play on a browser. however when I load my MAME ROMs they will load but the standard keyboard mapping for “coin” and “player start” don’t work ( “1” & “5”). so I’m just teased with the arcade demo screen just like when I was a kid and out of quarters :(.

I’ve done a ton of button mashing for a MAME menu to no avail, Is there anyway I can see the MAME mappings? These were posted but do not have coin and 1st player start mappings Input and Controls - Libretro Docs

I tried loading up different Arcade cores like MAME 2010 and 2003, but none of the ROMs would load up.

The android TV app behaves weird when loading ROMs. I can load one ROM and it seems to work fine but when I exit the Game (back button) it seems to play in the background. When selecting a new ROM, PLEX brings me back to game in the background. I’ve tried the “play” and “restart” opinions in the game menu, but the same thing occurs. I have to kill the plex app to start a new game.

I’m excited about plex arcade! I hope you work out the bugs soon!

Right shift = coin
Return = start

We recommend sticking with the default MAME core.

Huh, weird, passed this along.

Would you be able to grab the client logs for me after replicating the issue? Will take a look. Steps on grabbing the client logs from Android are available here; https://support.plex.tv/articles/201573117-android-android-tv-fire-tv-logs/
