[mythtv-users] LIRC SET_TRANSMITTERS no longer working?

[Matt Goebel]

I have a MCEUSB IR receiver/dual transmitter that I use to control 2 set top boxes my HD-PVR's record from. In my channel change script I "irsend SET_TRANSMITTERS 1 (or 2)" depending on which box I am trying to control. That has been working fine for years. 

I recently discovered that that's no longer working. Now when I try " irsend SET_TRANSMITTERS 1" it throws an error: "Error running command: Input/output error" and in the logs I see: 

Dec 31 14:55:24 mercury lircd-0.9.4c[2693]: Notice: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd 
Dec 31 14:55:24 mercury lircd-0.9.4c[2693]: Error: error processing command: SET_TRANSMITTERS 2 
Dec 31 14:55:24 mercury lircd-0.9.4c[2693]: Error: error - maximum of 1 transmitters 
Dec 31 14:55:24 mercury irsend: irsend: command failed: SET_TRANSMITTERS 2 
Dec 31 14:55:24 mercury irsend: lirc_command_run: status:END, status:5 
Dec 31 14:55:24 mercury lircd-0.9.4c[2693]: Info: removed client 

The channel change script then proceeds to send the IR commands to BOTH boxes, causing issues with recording or any one watch live TV on the other HD-PVR. 

The IR receiver portion is working fine. I'm using the default driver and /dev/lirc0 device. I noticed this after upgrading to Fedora 25, although it might have been happening earlier and I just didn't notice as I haven't had both tuners is use at the same time very often. I highly suspect this issue started sometime before the upgrade though. 

Anyone know if there is an known issue and if there is a fix?
