To me this looks like it works as expected. MPlayer is busy processing joystick
requests so it can't react to the keyboard.
You can use the -nojoystick option to disable joystick support or get rid of
/dev/input/js0 (whatever device creates that, I don't think it's MPlayer's fault
to just believe the kernel it actually is a joystick).

After a minor tilt, (especially when playing long videos) the keyboard keys are
rendered useless / unbinded from the command it supposed to do. Which to me
seems like a bug.

Even if HDAPS is accepted as joystick, the tilt should not unbind the keyboard
keys. The keys should remain useable after the tilt.

as for below this, i actually pressing the keyboard up,down,left,right buttons.

As you can see, it no longer got any bind associated with it. (Keyboard

shortcuts became unuseable). Mplayer had to be restarted if want to use the
keyboard keys.

Expected behaviour
HDAPS can be used as joystick (some ppl may want to play with it) but it should
not render the keyboard keys unusable. I dont know if this happens if a real
joystick is put into test.

i gooogled and found this person having the same problem

so did -nojoystick work?
you can also set keys to ignore in input.conf
JOY_RIGHT ignore
etc.
