I had iTunes open in the background while using Media Center, no problem initially. OK confirmed, yes, version 10.5.1 still has the same issue. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does iTunes 10.5.1 resolve this issue?

Thankfully, I was able to locate iTunes version 10.3.1 online for Windows 7 64-bit and after reverting, everything works perfectly again. I had to close iTunes in order to use the remote control again, which of course defeats the purpose of using it with the Remote app on the iPhone. In any case, as soon as I upgraded to version 10.5 I too had the remote control issue within Media Center and the navigation controls on the remote control ceased to function.

For reference, I leave iTunes running 24/7 to enable the ability to use the Remote app on my iPhone, this way I can play music from my phone whenever I like and there's no need to go to the media PC to open iTunes first. Every version of iTunes before 10.5 worked great. I use Windows Media Center for HDTV over Digital Cable (via Ceton InfiniTV with a CableCard) and iTunes for music on the PC itself as well as via two AirPort Express devices for whole house music. I have a Windows 7 圆4 based computer setup soley for the purpose of media consumption. If anybody has another solution I can try (like can I change the keyboard shortcuts for skip and stop in iTunes or MCE) please let me know and I will give it a try. My question is can I disable any or all of the keyboard shortcuts in iTunes? After all I only use iOS devices to control music playback and not the IR remote or a keyboard so I don't need that feature. Every time a song is played through iTunes it will go back to this behavior and I have to fix it again. However it is a pain to have to minimize MCE to fix iTunes so the remote works again. If I close iTunes or even open the iTunes store then the remote works again with MCE. So if I have iTunes play a song then stop the song and watch a recorded show I can't skip forward or even stop playback. Once iTunes plays a song it captures and keeps control of the keyboard shortcuts used to control iTunes (skip, stop, etc) and MCE does not respond to those same commands.

However during one of the last upgrades to iTunes I noticed a new behavior that is causing me grief. This works great and iTunes does not bring it self to the foreground so my MCE stays on the screen. However I really did not like how it handles music as I got hooked on Genius (WMCE is stuck in the past with hand built playlists, yawn.) So I installed iTunes to have it running in the background and use my iOS devices to control it.

I am using Windows 7 Media Center for my living room TV DVR and I am using a RC6 IR remote to control MCE which basically acts by sending keyboard commands. First let me give you some background info. I am having an issue with my Windows 7 Media Center and iTunes.
