Nexus Player Bug

I don’t know if this is a bug you guys are aware of or not but I hope it can be fixed. I have Kodi 17.0 running on my Nexus Player and I have the Game Pad. When I first launch Kodi the gamepad works great, exept the buttons don’t do what they are supposed to do as far as bringing up the menu and such but I can work past that. The main issue I am having is if I start a show and the gamepad turns off. When I done watching the show and turn the controler on to start up another show Kodi doesn’t respond. I have to completly exit and force stop Kodi and restart it to get the controller working again. This has happened ever since I started using 17.0 in Beta, I saw at one point that it was a known issue but then I didn’t see it anymore so I thought it was fixed. If there is a fix for this I would love to know as I use Kodi all the time and love it.
