Play / Pause button not working with IR remote with new Apple TV
Recently updated to the latest Apple TV. I have been using my Logitech Harmony 700 remote with the 2nd & 3rd generation Apple TV with no problems. The 4th gen Apple TV works great with the same IR commands as previous generation Apple TVs, but the Play / Pause button doesn't seem to work.
When using the bluetooth remote that came with the 4th gen Apple TV, Play / Pause works, when using an IR remote it doesn't.
This is using applications HBO GO & Watch ESPN.
Is this a bug? Also Apple can you fix this. In my living room I only keep one remote and that is my Harmony. I have no intrest in having a bunch of remote controls around my living room.
I found this developer post that could shed some light on the issue. Though I'm not sure why Play / Pause coming over IR would be treated different from it coming over bluetooth:
