This is a known issue. It's been on my todo list to track down for a
while but I've not really looked into it. A really simple work around
is to bind the play button on your remote to the PLAY key within Myth.
Going from FFWD / REW to Play doesn't have this issue. By default PLAY
doesn't have a keybinding so you'll need to set one up with MythWeb or
something.
