As the subject says...

Not sure what is going on here, if I use Q on the keyboard it exits fine if I use the exit/back button xine stops but does not exit and nothing else works, I then have to kill xine to get back the the FE.

I think that mattbatt has it nailed. Been a long time since I used xine, but now I remember -- by default, it doesn't terminate when it hits the end of the video. I believe this is the same behavior you get when you high it with "esc". "q", on the other hand, tells it to quit. If this is all correct, you have 2 choices:

1. Have LIRC remap exit/back to "q".

2. Launch xine with the following options: --auto-play=q

The totality of what you can do with the autoplay options is documented below.

Marc

-p, --auto-play=[f][F][h][w][q][d][v]
Start playing immediately after start. Can be followed by:
'f' in fullscreen mode,
'F' in xinerama fullscreen mode,
'h' hide GUI (main panel, etc...),
'w' hide video output window,
'q' for quitting after playback,
It is also possible to request the playlist from DVD 'd', or VCD 'v'. There is now a more generic option, --auto-scan, for that (see below).

G'day,

I already have

So I don't think it is that and it used to work before I upgraded to 7.2

Edit 1:
I ran ircat xine while watching something and pressed the Back key, it spat out 'Quit' but xine hung and did a killall to get rid of it.
So as far as I can tell everything is correct, just xine/lirc are not doing what they are supposed to?
And the Esc key takes me back to the start.

This is an old thread, but maybe it's any use to someone:
I have the same problem on R7.4

Using lirc to 'Quit', hangs xine (I use the 'Power' button to exit xine), but hitting 'q' on the keyboard exits xine cleanly.
Lirc config:

I found it to be a bug in xine: 'Bug 346 - Xine-ui hangs at exit if ACTID_QUIT is trigged via lirc' (https://bugs.xine-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346)

To work around the problem I first start 'irxevent' before starting xine via a script.
I configured MythTV to call this script instead of xine directly.

And mapped lirc as follows:
