Reproducible, not an issue in 1.5.2 (downgrading solves it), remote controlling OpenPHT 1.6 from either an iOS Plex app (iPhone, iPad) or HTTP (Control4) is giving me problems.

Can’t really describe what is happening but it’s like directional buttons go haywire and left does nothing, double tapping is unresponsive and then all of a sudden goes 2 steps left, ENTER does nothing or click multiple times. Right enters the previous enter and goes right.  
It does this with all buttons BTW.

Keyboard control is working fine!

Any ideas?
