Apple TV (tvOS) controls non responsive
Stremio Platform
tvOS Beta
Describe the bug
Every so often when trying to play/pause/rewind using my LG TV remote, stremio controls are non responsive. I cant pause or do anything involving the stremio on screen menu. The only way out is to hit the back button and get out of the episode you're watching.
I tried this with HDMI CEC and I also tried it with LG magic remote OTT, where it uses real apple tv remote commands. Tried on LG C3, C1, Samsung QN90D and Hisense U8K.
The apple tv remote will work, even when the TV's remote is unable to bring up the on screen menu to control stremio.
This may be unrelated, but I also notice I cant just click the normal select button to pause. I have to click select, or hit a button on the remote like up arrow to bring up the on screen menu, then hit up to navigate and click pause.
To Reproduce
Start an episode of something. Try to use TVs remote to control rather than Apple TV. See if the buttons always respond or not.
Expected behavior
Start an episode. Using the remote would trigger the on screen menu or the selected action like play/pause.

+1 I’ve had this issue with the Apple TV remote as well. Typically shortly after pausing but it’s difficult to reproduce.
