Left clicking a playing video will toggle the pause state.

When restarting MC doesn't change the behavior at all, but only a reboot does, you know what that screams to me, right? External interference.
Contrary to these terms existing, a "cold" and "warm" boot are also really not any different to software.
On a technical side, it sounds to me like another window has registered itself as the foreground window, which is a special flag in Windows that retains foreground focus even if some stuff happens.
A fully user-controlled click will override the foreground status from then on.
Why this only happens sometimes, on certain reboots, who knows.

It seems to me from your comments that many other keys are in fact working, so the problem may be with the Eventghost mapping, or even that 3 and 4 are already assigned for something else on the new MC and so are not getting passed to MadVR. Have you tried mapping those scripts to some other different keys? Also, try directly on the keyboard, skipping eventghost. You can check if keyboard shortcuts are working in MadVR by testing a known key function, like CTLR+J. If that works but 3 and 4 don't, then it's likely that changing the keys will fix it.
Also, check numlock :D

By the way, I assume you checked the MadVR config from within MC via "open MadVR settings" ?
Upgrading MC would also have upgraded MadVR, possibly resetting your configuration.

Thanks Hendrik, and to make it more confusing…. Murray has both MC25 and MC29 on the same HTPC and it is only MC29 getting these focus problems.
The good news is that with more testing (since the last post) on MC29 the issue does not appear if:
- Windows Start Up --> Run on Windows Startup = Media Center
- Startup Interface --> Mode = Standard View
- & he then manually switches to Theater View
The focus issue only occurs when the Startup Interface = TheaterView
@zybex, the aim of the testing on the weekend was he was trying to find a simple, repeatable use case where focus is lost that did not rely on madVR or Eventghost. Murray was able to replicate the loss of focus regardless of it if was madVR or JRVR and can do so with just using Cntrl+J from a keyboard using the method described. I could not replicate it at my end so it is something unique.
Anyway, he has now narrowed it down to the start-up behaviour going straight into Theaterview.... but it might be the Interaction on getting MC from StdView to TheaterView solves the focus issue. Likewise a simple Left Click also fixes it.

I assume you have the on-screen instructions turned off, eg. Settings -> General -> Show on screen Instructions? If not, try turning them off, they can be a bit icky, and anyone that used it for 5 minutes will know how it works anyway.
