Hi All, being somewhat frustrated … (many hours of searching and trying to find the problem…) I write this reply. As already mentioned before the SendKey behavior has changed. I am trying to find out since when but I noticed that XBMC hasn’t got this problem. Now I am trying to stay at Plex but this misfunctioning of Plex is critical for me as integrator in A/V environments. Is there no way you can include the same sources for the http api interface and therefor also the behavior of Sendkey??? Even virtual keys work in XBMC !! Please please please dev group can you do this in the first upcoming release (hopefully soon 😉 I would really appreciate a reaction from the dev-team and hopefully with the answer I am waiting for. Awaiting your reaction with best regards ---

> [@](#): > > Thanks for your reply. I will find out since which version the sendkey doesn’t work anymore. I also read there is a new SVN for xbmc handling an issue with sendkey (I don’t know if it has any relation). I dived in the git but got lost …and couldn’t find how to retrieve previous versions and/or differences… > > Will be back soon. I've pulled the code from [http://xbmc.org/trac/ticket/6092](http://xbmc.org/trac/ticket/6092) for the next version. Hopefully this will help you. ---

As noted before, provide me with: 1. The version number where it stopped working 2. Steps to reproduce the issue work/not working and I’ll look into it for you. Until I get this info I can be of no help. ---
