Media remote won't power off console

Nezziah,

Since the update, have you tried power cycling your console by holding the power button for 10 seconds or until the console turns off, then boot it back up, and retry the media remote to see if that fixes the problem.

I'm having the same problem I hope theirs a update on the horizon soon. Getting up to turn my entertainment system off and on is getting tiresome.

I've had that happen to me but I just had to change the batteries in the remote. Even though all the buttons would register it just didn't have enough to do the hold down, weird I know but that's how I fixed the problem.

I have the same problem with Netflix and the media remote. The only buttons that still work are the Xbox home key, and the Play/Pause key. Media remote buttons work fine navigating the Xbox menu so I know it works fine but when using Netflix I cannot FF,
rewind, skip, select, etc. This started happening after the November update. If I uninstall Netflix app and reinstall it the remote will work fine until I power off the console at night. The next day when I use power up and use Netflix the remote is back to
not working again. I use energy-save power settings.

Yes, my media remote does bring up the option to turn off the console when the Power On/Home (big Xbox symbol) button is pressed and held.

And just to rule it out as a factor, I am not participating in the dashboard preview program.
