Maybe you have some settings somewhere to enable the remote for each apps?
It also seems VLC keeps getting an active player state at the same moment and get the buttons.
In all cases the issue is somewhere before reaching Yatse code 
Either a bug in Google lib that does not register in some cases or something on your device / remote or conflict from another app.
Maybe try without VLC installed?
