Kore not working since upgrade to version 17

Hi, I’ve been using Kore with Kodi both on my Windows PC and Linux as well and things have been working perfect until my upgrade to version 17. Some keys (back button and home button, stop, pause, FFWD, RW) work just fine, but the rest aren’t (down, up, left, right, enter [middle button]). I’ve tried everything from uninstalling the remote app on my Android phone and reinstalling, to removing Kodi completely on my pc and reinstalling. Nothing. Neither on Linux or Windows. For now, I’ve had to stick with version 16.1 on Linux for that purpose seeing it’s the main pc in the living room but when I’m in my bedroom I’m stuck with using the keyboard as a remote instead because of the above reasons. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. P.S. I even joined the beta programme for Kore hoping the beta version would bring some difference. Still nothing.
