Help Needed - Remote only works on Movies/Videos - Not on Music

Greetings, first off a huge thanks to all the devs/contributors who worked to make Plex/RasPlex an excellent solution. I've been using Plex for a while on numerous devices in my home for general media streaming and it behaves beautifully. Recently I decided to put audio in my Kitchen using RasPlex, a PI (headless), an amp and a pair of recessed speakers. Figuring I would name this device something like "Kitchen-Music", we could direct audio to that device via an iPad, iPhone, etc. So I bought two Raspberry PI model B units and downloaded RasPlex 0.2.2. Setup was a breeze and it was up on no time. Now the problem.

 

When playing music to the RasPlex, the remote control app doesn't work from any device, so I basically lose control of RasPlex when I choose to play music to it. Strange thing is that the volume slider works even though NONE of the other buttons do. Even stranger is that if I play a movie to the RasPlex, all remote functions work perfectly, every one of them. Still stranger is that I can choose to play music to ANY other device in my house, Linux, Windows, iDevices and the remote works perfectly. It appears to be isolated to the RasPlex units alone. 
 
 
What I've tried so far.
  1. Used RasPlex 0.2.2 to two different Pi units, same result as above
  2. Used each release starting with 0.1.35 going forward on both PI units, same result as above.
  3. Tried doing the http://:32400/system/players//playback/Stop (also Pause, Play, etc), same results as above. setVolume?level=XX does work, though.
  4. I've looked through the settings, but I don't think it a setting considering the volume works and movie control works perfectly.

 

What I'm running:

  • PMS Version 0.9.8.4.125 on Ubuntu Linux 10.04LTS Server
  • 2x Raspberry PI Model B, Wired Ethernet, Static IP address, RasPlex 0.2.2
  • 3x Windows Media Center on Windows 7, Wired Ethernet, Static IP address, Plex Client
  • 2x Apple iPad2 with latest Plex Client
  • 2x Apple iPhone5 with latest Plex Client
  • 1x Apple iPhone4 with latest Plex Client
  • 2x Lenovo Android Tablets with latest Plex Client
  • 1x Switch - Cisco Catalyst 2960 (WS-C2960S-24PS-L)
  • 1x Wireless AP - Cisco Aironet 1242AG

Thanks!
Bryan
